It is quite phenomenal to find an authentic IFrench bakery with the feel of modern Paris in the heart of Queens. Cannelle L.I.C. is a little oasis -- not only for L.I.C. locals who can’t say no to a freshly made croissant for breakfast, but also for those like me who yearn for a bite of “Espresso 31” (chocolate almond cake, espresso brûlée, chocolate crunchy pearl) and a sip of Café Latte after strolling alongside the East River on late evenings. So I was very pleased to find out about the first branch of Cannelle in Jackson Heights. Living in Flushing, I could enjoy Cannelle’s recreation of “Chai Latte” Indian tea and “Black Forest” cake (my favorites) without having to spend almost an hour commuting. Cannelle Jackson Heights is located inside the mall off 77th Street and 30th Ave and there are plenty of parking spots available right in front of the pâtisserie. The atmosphere at the Jackson Heights location is more crowded than at the L.I.C bakery and it gives me the thrill and chill of being in the most culturally diverse neighborhood of Jackson Heights as a diverse neighborhood. Graduating in the world. The author of Jackson Heights: A Garden in from culinary school in Paris, M. Perennou found his lifelong the City describes the neighborhood as a “city within the passion in pastry making rather than in cookery. To loosely city.” It is usually recognized as an “authentic South Asian quote M. Perennou: “Making pastries is more like engaging neighborhood” in New York City. Cannelle adds to the in a scientific project: it requires precise time, focus and you acclaimed diversity in Jackson Heights. Being immigrants have to know exactly how much flour and how much egg themselves, no wonder M. Jean- Claude Perennou and his should go into producing a perfect pastry at the end.” And partner Mr. Gnanasampanthan Sabaratratnam (Samba) perfect they are. I’d say that the pastries at Cannelle truly do decided to let New Yorkers try a taste of French pastries in represent the chef’s art of precision. this neighborhood. Cannelle completes the colorful picture 8 9 continued... The breakfast menu at Cannelle ranges from $2.25 for a freshly baked “Chocolate Croissant” to a “Pain Viennois” for $2.00 and $2.75 for a small cup of warm hot chocolate topped with whipped cream. For individual pastries, you could get a creamy fluffy “Choux Chantilly” for $3.50 and a “St. Honoré” cake filled with crème chiboust for $4.25. If you are in the mood for a slightly more substantial meal, there is a wide array of sandwiches ranging from “Croque Monsieur” for $4.50 to “Jambon Beurre” for $4.75. In addition to offering a wide range of pastries, from the famous “Pecan Pie” to the “Gâteau Breton,” a traditional cake from the hometown of Chef Jean Claude, Cannelle also accepts special orders for cakes with varying serving sizes from 6-8 servings for $20-$22 to 60-65 servings for $160.

Due to the plate’s democratic nature in Senegalese culture this study deconstructs the significance of the plate in relation to Senegalese values placed tradition, personal pride, community, and national identity. This study argues that ceebu jën’s widespread presence and cultural reflexivity finds its source in the universal accessibility of the meal.

Toxicological risk factors are currently poorly focused in sub-Sahara Africa. Whereas important differences exist amongst countries, Senegal exemplifies the general trend. Focusing on Senegal, this orkw aims to build a translational framework for context-effective risk analysis science in traditional cultures by i) highlighting main aspects of eating and producing, with focus on savannah areas and pastoral systems, and analyzing their impact on socio-economic development, ii) analyzing people’s preparedness and proactivity, as well as channels and tools for prevention, and iii) discussing reasons of widespread demand of external education on diet and healthy foods. Methods Participant observation in field anthropological research ocusedf on food culture, consumer products and food systems in urban, semi-urban and rural settings. The system was stimulated with seminal messages on toxicological risk factors for healthy pregnancy and progeny’s healthy adulthood disseminated in counselling centres and women’s associations.

  • Maneuvering Mobility: Measuring Multimodality in New York City's Selected Transit Hubs a Thesis Presented to the Faculty of Ar
    Maneuvering Mobility: Measuring Multimodality in New York City’s Selected Transit Hubs A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of Architecture and Planning COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science in Urban Planning by Faisha Namira Indrakesuma May 2018 Advisor: Dr. Weiping Wu, Director of MS Urban Planning Program, GSAPP Reader: Jonas Hagen, PhD Candidate Urban Planning Program, GSAPP Abstract The main purpose of this research is to answer the question of how New York City encourages multimodality through institutional and fare integration and how different transportation hubs within the city service multimodality through physical design. This research is primarily a qualitative study that heavily relies on direct field observations as well as reviews of the relevant literature. The analysis of this thesis is broken down into three main categories of multimodality integration: institutional, fare, and physical. The analysis of physical integration is focused on three transportation hubs: namely the Atlantic Terminal, the Wall Street Ferry Station, and the Harlem 125th Street Station. This thesis finds that New York City is a unique context in the organizations that are active in daily operations of public transportation. This institutional division of operations would consequently lead to low integration. While the presence of different transportation modes are continually present in proximity to each other, the ease of transfer most of the time is coincidental based on density and frequency of service and has little to do with intentional integration. ii Acknowledgements I would like to thank the wonderful faculty and students of the Columbia University Urban Planning Program who have nurtured and fed my passion for urban planning.

  • A High Line for Harlem
    www.nycfuture.org JULY 2010 A High Line for Harlem A plan to turn a mile of empty space under the Metro North tracks in Harlem into a vibrant market for hundreds of local entrepreneurs could do wonders for a neighborhood lacking in affordable retail space and a city struggling to retain independent businesses 2 A HIGH LINE FOR HARLEM AT ITS PEAK IN THE 1950s, EAST HARLEM’s LA MARQUETA was home to over 500 mostly Puerto Rican vendors occupying space in five separate buildings stretching from 111th Street to 116th Street on Park Avenue. For decades the market figured prominently in travel guides, as residents and tourists alike would flock there to buy avocadoes, guavas, cassava, and tamarind—things you weren’t likely to find anywhere else in the city. That stands in strong contrast to the way things look today, when on a recent visit just two vendors were open for business and there was not a single shopper. Three of the original buildings no longer exist and another sits empty. If travel guides mention the market at all anymore, it is usually in the past tense, as the former “crown jewel of ethnic markets Off the CUF commentaries are published in the city.” periodically by the Center for an Urban Future.
