Little India
India Square in Jersey City, New Jersey, in the New York metropolitan area, is home to the highest concentration of Asian Indians in the Western Hemisphere.[1]

Little India (also known as Indian Street, India Bazaar, or India Town) is an Indian or South Asian[2][3][4] sociocultural environment outside India or the Indian subcontinent. It especially refers to an area with a significant concentration of South Asian residents and a diverse collection of Indian businesses. Frequently, Little Indias have Hindu temples, mosques, and gurdwaras. They may also host celebrations of national and religious festivals and serve as gathering places for South Asians. As such, they are microcosms of India. Little Indias are often tourist attractions and are frequented by fans of Indian cuisine, Indian culture, Indian clothing, Indian music, and Indian cinema.[5][6][7]
