There's also an emerging Little India on Long Island, in Hicksville (basically near the LIRR station).

Cool, I definitely want to check those Indian areas out. The only big South Asian neighborhood I was aware of in NY is Jackson Heights, and if you count it, a surprisingly large Guyanese Indian area around the last stop of the A train. I heard there's a Bangladeshi area in Brooklyn somewhere, but didn't make it out there yet. I've always wondered why South Asians don't have neighborhoods on a similar scale to say Flushing or Chinatown. The communities seem a lot more scattered.
