 This is not India but 85 Street in Jackson Heights Queens, NYC. The place to eat the best Indian food outside of India. It's what makes New York so unique.

An interesting photo taken in Chinatown, Manhattan, at night in the middle seventies. The camera was a Leica M-2 with Tri-X pushed to ASA 800 and developed in Acufine. I was shooting much street photography back then.

The result was a very tasty and sort of off the wall dish. Go figure.
