Description

The Food Atlas of New York is a joint project of multiple sections of CUNY’s Macaulay Honors College Seminar 2, People of New York. We use the history and culture of food in New York to understand the diversity, complexity, and impact of the many peoples who make New York City their home. Through stories of iconic foods and ingredients, histories of the evolution of food options in different neighborhoods, and entries on food-related businesses and their owners, the Food Atlas illuminates the historical and sociological stories behind New York’s food landscape.
