Building Community Through Food | Filipino Cuisine with Deirdre Levy

We sit down with NYC Filipinos Founder Deirdre Levy at Kalye for “merienda” — the Filipino version of tea time. As we sample some classic Filipino snacks, Deirdre talks about her teaching career, her community activism, her run for New York City Council, and how Filipino food has been a thread through all of it.
