Our Day (Shopping) in New York’s Little Tibet
I, Pema Yoko, am right now visiting New York, a place where the Tibetan community is booming and bustling. It is also the home of SFT head quarters, and where many of my close friends and family live. The more I come, the more I enjoy the city with my Tibetan warrior friends.
Yesterday was Wednesday, and we decided to spend a day together for Lhakar in Jackson Heights, Queens – also known as “Little Tibet.” We wanted to support the local Tibetan businesses. The previous post showed quite a bit of us eating, which i have to say, if you get a chance to visit Zomsa Restaurant please do. The take away was yummy, at good price, and came in good healthy portions!
dl08, NYCYak and I would like to give you a little glipse of Jackson Heights, for all those who are not from New York.
Although we went looking for tsampa, unfortunately for us, they had run out
but dont let this stop you from checking it out.
Peace and momo grease.

Nice extension of the Be Tibetan, Buy Tibetan campaign that Tibetans are waging inside Tibet! I guess the unstated message is “Don’t Buy Made-in-China.” Zomsa Restaurant even has a bilingual menu — it’s in English as well as Tibetan!!!
