WNYC's table at a Street Lab pop up in East Harlem

Banana pudding and second chances: Small talk with New Yorkers on the streets of Harlem

WNYC News | Nov 1, 2022

New York City is home to millions of people, each with their own story to tell. Stories about people or places that provide inspiration. Stories about love and loss. Stories of communities banding together in difficult times. WNYC is teaming up with the nonprofit, Street Lab, to highlight stories from neighborhoods across New York City. We recently captured a variety of voices at an Open Streets event outside of La Marqueta at 115th Street and Park Avenue in East Harlem.
