Origins of Chopped Cheese in Harlem
Bodega Staple: The chopped cheese was first popularized in small neighborhood bodegas, particularly in Harlem and the Bronx. Its precise origin isn't entirely clear, but many believe it started in Harlem in the early 1990s.
Cultural Significance: Chopped cheese sandwiches became a cultural symbol of the local, working-class communities in New York City, particularly among the Black and Latino populations. It's often seen as a quick meal option, deeply ingrained in the urban food culture of NYC.
