NEW YORK CITY (WABC) — On this edition of Tiempo, we learn more about a local nonprofit organization on a mission to bring fresh produce and food education to residents.
Connected Chef is a Queens-based nonprofit that will open a new fresh market and community food hub in Woodside later this month.
The organization is on a mission to ensure people in Queens have access to local, nutritious food and education on health eating.
Joining us to discuss are Kim Calichio and Omar Bravo-Pavia, the co-founders of Connected Chef.
Meanwhile, we continue to celebrate Hispanic and Latin American Heritage Month at Tiempo, where we recognize the contributions and impact of Latino Americans to history and culture.
Today, we share the story of a Latino family that owns a pastelito/empanada shop in Brooklyn. The family hails from the Dominican Republican and they make authentic meat pies.
We have a report on the family-run Bushwick restaurant, Pastelitos Elys, coming up.
Also on our program: Before Lincoln Center, there was San Juan Hill — a neighborhood that was home to so many Black people and Puerto Ricans.
San Juan Hill was an epicenter of music creativity, and Lincoln Center has several events to keep that rich history alive. We take a look at those events that honor that history.
Tiempo airs Sunday mornings at 11:30 on Channel 7, WABC-TV in New York City.
