The West African population in Manhattan has nearly doubled in the past 10 years. Below, meet one of the vendors at the festival, a native of Senegal who came to the U.S. 20 years ago to pursue a degree in business. African Art remains popular at many New York City street festivals.
The Turkish population has seen a slight increase in Manhattan over the last 10 years. Here, listen to a native Turk speak about sharing her traditional cuisine with New Yorkers.
