Pomodoro Pasta with a Side of Accountability: Addressing Food Waste in NYC As I step out of my Harlem apartment each morning, I’m greeted by a disheartening scene: black trash bags strewn across the sidewalk, revealing the remnants of last night’s uneaten meals from the Italian restaurant at the corner.

It’s a frustrating sight, especially when a block away, people are lining up at the food pantry for their next meal.
