...You can take this tour of Latin America all in a day, without ever leaving New York City. A new book called "Nueva York: The Complete Guide to Latino Life in The Five Boroughs" shows you how....
...Finally, spend a few hours in Jackson Heights, "one of the most culturally diverse neighborhoods in the entire country," said Gonzalez. Take the No. 7 train to the 82nd Street stop and wander along Roosevelt Avenue, known locally as Avenue of the Americas.
You'll find Ecuadorean ceviche - marinated raw fish - sold from a truck, Mexican wrestlers' masks sold from a stall, and Colombian pandebonos - rolls with cheese baked into them - sold hot from a tiny oven wedged inside a money transfer store on 82nd near Ithaca Street.

Would you like to read Dr. Seuss in Spanish? Barco de Papel, a Spanish language children's bookstore, sells "Como el Grinch Robo La Navidad" ("How the Grinch Stole Christmas"), Harry Potter en espanol, and a children's version of "Don Quixote."...
