A La Cart

Food has always been used as a medium to connect people. By combining photography with articles on history, legalities, and economic impacts, this book is a multifaceted narrative that speaks to the significance of street food in NYC. This approach acknowledges street food vendors as essential contributors to the city's cultural and economic landscape.
