Storm Garner conducted 50 interviews with Queens Night Market vendors for this project in 2018 & 2019, most of which were excerpted and adapted for the cookbook The World Eats Here: Amazing Food and the Inspiring People Who Make It at New York’s Queens Night Market (by John Wang & Storm Garner, 2020, published by The Experiment).
In 2020, Garner is conducting a second round of interviews (remotely) with Queens Night Market vendors to document how they are coping with the current COVID-19 crisis. All the interviews in this multi-year project will be indexed and archived and put online for public educational purposes at the Nunn Center for Oral History, and some of this years’ interviews will additionally be archived locally with the Queens Public Library in their Queens Memory COVID-19 Project.
