Our Towns - Celebrating the Half-Century of Great Neck South - NYTimes.com


Our Towns - Celebrating the Half-Century of Great Neck South - NYTimes.com: "BUT our Great Neck is about as ancient as Gatsby’s. The school, once overwhelmingly white and heavily Jewish, is now 44 percent Asian, 7 percent black and Hispanic, and 49 percent white. Great Neck North, once our somewhat richer doppelgänger, is dominated by Persian Jews. There is a huge Orthodox contingent sending children to yeshivas. Downtown includes a glatt kosher Mexican-fusion cafe."
