New York is the quintessential immigrant city in the USA. Astoria in the borough of Queens is considered the borough with the highest multicultural percentage. The residents proudly claim that nowhere else do so many people of different origins and languages live together. The food on offer in Astoria is also multicultural.
At practically every corner in Astoria, food is served from large, colourfully painted buses with built-in kitchens or from small trailers called "push carts". The food trucks are popular all over New York, but in Astoria a real high culture has developed. From Lebanese to Egyptian to Brazilian cuisine, from Mexican to Japanese. In the midst of the food truck scene, Mexican taco dealer Juan is also fighting for his piece of the pie. He moved to the USA only five years ago, and for almost four months now Juan has been selling tacos from his shiny food truck directly under the elevated railway tracks. On board is Leonora from Peru, and they both toil from late afternoon until the early hours of the morning. Juan's next goal is a second truck. This is to be the start of his own food truck mini-fleet. Astoria is the right address for this.
