Welcome to the Food and COVID-19 NYC archive. This curated collection of materials, photos, personal narratives, menus, media articles and more, began in the spring of 2020 as a NYU food studies graduate seminar class project, and evolved into a space capturing the food experiences of New Yorkers as they navigated the traumas of the COVID-19 pandemic through 2020 and into the spring of 2021. While the ongoing pandemic will affect NYC food for years, this archive documents a full year, from March 2020 through March 2021. Following the ebbs and flows of the pandemic’s intensity, the site captures the landscape of food topically (food insecurity, restaurants, shopping, and at home) as well as chronologically through the storyline below. The project also provides links to other collections and related articles.
To learn more about the creation of this project, you can read our article, “The Food and COVID-19 NYC Archive: Mapping the Pandemic’s Effect on Food in Real Time”
The archive is open and available to all. Visitors are especially encouraged to submit their own photos and memories.
