A fun day trip in Queens (probably for a Queen) is to take the 7 train out to 90th Street and visit the house from the awesomely forgotten show 'Ugly Betty.' The house is at 92nd and Elmhurst Ave., right near the heart of Jackson Heights, where the show actually takes place.
I'm surprised that we didn't see more people in front of it, it was just a normal house that someone (probably? definitely) lives in, and no doubt hates people like us. No sign of Vanessa Williams, but the song "colors of the wind" definitely blew through the trees that day.
It also gave us a chance to explore Jackson Heights, a place that has definitely become increasingly gentrified over the years. I'm thinking of even putting down roots in this neighborhood, that E express train is very tempting!
If you're thinking of moving, there I hope you speak good Spanish!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your information on tha adress. I was seaching it with vaigue knowledge that it is somewhere in Qweens. The exact adress you gave in this page helped me and I could immediately find it in the street view of google map. I hope I would have chance to visit there on one of my anniversaries of the wedding. My wife and I visited New York 25 years ago for honeymoon from Japan.
