Our goal for this visit was to interview people in the neighborhood and try a new restaurant. In our interviews, we asked different people walking around the neighborhood to describe the neighborhood using one word. We interview 7 people, all from different social classes and ethnicities.
Our first stop was Taste of Himalayas for some lunch. This restaurant is known for their delicious Indian and Nepalese cuisine.
Then we stopped at Philz Coffee:
Then we moved on to our interviews. Everyone who we interviewed had positive things to say about the neighborhood. We found it interesting that a man selling produce at the Farmer’s Market told use he found the neighborhood beautiful and profitable. He mentioned his sales were high because the neighborhood’s inhabitants are mostly wealthy and enjoy organic produce.
As we were walking back to the car, we noticed there were also some renovations taking place:
After our visit we headed back to campus area to discuss our future plans. Overall, we feel we had a very productive and joyful visit. We met a lot of kind and interesting people.
