Jamaica Center - Parsons/Archer (E, J, Z)

This Afrolatinx stop leads into a historical manor, global indoor food market, big outlets, and a giant social security building.

Let’s get into it.

1) King Manor Museum

If you’re a history buff, you might like a tour of this house built in the 1700s. Its quite out of place these days, among the low-income apartment housing, which makes it stand out all the more. (Heads up, if you like this, you’ll also like this).

There’s a small historical cemetery nearby, too, if you’re into … that?

Peep that old house behind the sign.

2) Jamaica Market

This food court is kind of tucked away, so it feels like a hidden find. But all the locals know about it! Go eat with them.

3) Outlets

Burlington Coat Factory, H&M, Old Navy, Primark … it kind of feels like commercial Harlem out here.

4) The Giant Social Security Building

Well there’s not much to say. Here it is:
