From The Peopling of New York City
This will be the page about Rinconcito Paisa, the Colombian restaurant on Forest Avenue. It is also here as a kind of template for you to follow for your own "Ethnic Stage" page.

Visiting a Colombian Restaurant (or a Colombian Church, etc.)
Here you will insert the cultural sketch of the institution and what it tells us about the community you are studying that you wrote as part of Source Study #4.
To illustrate your experience, provide video and photographic documentation -- images as well as imbedded video on the page.
The dividers you use will depend upon the institution you have chosen and your own experience. However, these might be some useful ones:
For a restaurant:
The Menu
The Decor
Interesting Syncretisms
(This would be, for instance, the way that the Russian restaurant is also a Ukrainian one, or the Egyptian restaurant also a Middle Eastern one, or the Albanian pizzerias have specifically Albanian items like Birek on the menu alongside more traditionally Italian ones. etc.)
For a church or community center/association:
The Members
The Building
Style and Decoration
Interesting Syncretisms
(This would be, for instance, services given in multiple languages, or other cultural crossings-over that appear in the institution.)
As with the interview pages, these will be more individualized than the main community pages, but they should still look the same as the rest of the site -- the same background, same font, etc.
