Professor: David Rosenberg
ITF: Jacob Cohen
Campus: Baruch College
URL: https://eportfolios.macaulay.cuny.edu/halalcarts/
This site examines many of the issues that involve halal carts in New York City, with a focus specifically on the lives and work of the cooks, the owners and product suppliers, the customers, and the city bureaucracy that governs the carts. Students composed articles highlighting different issues related to these topics and immigration, and utilized the Himalayas theme with its one-page menu feature. Entries include photographs as well as recorded interview clips.

Campus: City College
URL: http://eportfolios.macaulay.cuny.edu/nydreams/
An immersive storytelling site. The stories presented on this site tell of New Yorkers who chased their dreams — sometimes succeeding, sometimes not. These people traveled very different paths, but they have one thing in common: All of them sought to make a place for themselves in a big, complicated, challenging but often profoundly rewarding metropolis.
