New York's No. 7 subway line travels through one of America's most diverse 9.5 miles.

"...[I]f you hop aboard New York's No. 7 subway line, which runs 9.5 miles from Times Square, Manhattan, to Flushing, Queens, you'll travel through one of America's most richly diverse communities."

Christian Science Monitor photographers recently rode the subway line and "stopped along the way to explore the neighborhoods. Salsa music, Asian cuisine, Indian fabrics, and Muslim prayers blend in a sensory experience of taste, color, smell, and sound."
