New York City is home to more than 8 million residents living in the five boroughs of Manhattan, the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island. The city’s fabled reputation implies that all a resident needs, or will ever need, is right at their fingertips. Yet despite its world-renowned parks, urban greenways, public transportation system and fresh food options, NYC is affected by striking health disparities. Residents of the South Bronx, North and Central Brooklyn, and East and Central Harlem—home to approximately 1 million residents—are largely limited to fast food restaurants and small bodegas as food sources, which primarily carry packaged foods and have limited fresh produce options. Area residents have also identified the need for more fitness options, particularly for youth and seniors. These inequities have resulted in health disparities and high rates of obesity.
