This website is a catalogue of Professor Cho’s Seminar 2 students’ food and culture expedition in four New York City neighborhoods: Jackson Heights, Queens; Tompkinsville, Staten Island; Brighton Beach, Brooklyn; and Lower East Side, Manhattan. The students conducted ethnographic research on each neighborhood with an eye towards its respective history, demographic makeup, immigrant traditions, and food cultures. They did this while also balancing—and in some cases, incorporating—their own firsthand experiences as observers and/or participants.
