Getting on and riding the 7 train is like going on train ride around the world. The ethnic diversity you witness on that train is really fierce. It’s officially known that the trip between Long Island City and Flushing traverses the most varied number of ethnic neighborhoods in all the five boroughs. As a matter of fact, you can’t say that about any other train in the U.S. Yet another reason why Queens is so special!”
