NEW YORK CITY CUMBIA SHOPS

by Rupture. February 10th, 2009

A confession: I rarely visit Queens. And I’m sure it is home to incredible cumbia stores… But Brooklyn’s got enough to keep my ears ringing and my wallet slim.

The main zone lies along Brooklyn’s Fifth & Fourth Avenues, from 36th Street to 60th Street.

I’ve got my favorite shops & have a good idea of the various specialties… but I’m not that generous.

Hint: good cumbia & good eats are never too far apart. To that end, here’s a nice well-annotated GoogleMaps mashup from Karen Z: the Taquerias of Sunset Park.

    sweet, next time I’m in NYC I’m going to have to check these.

    Question, I went to Kumbala last time I was in the city, and the sign claims its in Queens? While I don’t know the city well at all it seemed pretty clearly in Brooklyn…whos wrong?

    [...] I say all-cumbia, I mean it! Material you can find in many many places, such as Mexican shops in Brooklyn, Chicago, Los Angeles, Atlanta, or via online stateside shops from Discos El Papi & Barba Azul. [...]
