The second annual “June in Jackson Heights” week, sponsored by Councilmember Daniel Dromm, is in full swing with art shows, performances, films and historic tours. This year, 20 restaurants, representing a world of food, will again be offering specially priced menus for residents and visitors Monday, June 20 through Saturday, June 25.
