Of the many Asian groups that call New York City home today, Filipinos are the fourth largest. And over half of New York’s Filipinos can be found in Queens.
In this episode, we’ll hear stories from Woodside’s “Little Manila” – a neighborhood around the Roosevelt Avenue stretch from about 63rd to 70th street. This Filipino enclave dates back to the 1970s.
