How We Ate

How We Ate is a series of photo books documenting New York City’s pandemic-era outdoor dining structures as a form of unconstrained urban folk architecture. Across six self-published volumes, the work blends field research, visual storytelling, and editorial rigor to frame these structures as cultural artifacts of a singular moment in the city’s history.

How We Ate has been featured in The New Yorker, New York Magazine, Fast Company, Curbed, named as one of the top 10 architecture and design books of 2023 by dezeen, and has been sold at The Whitney Museum Shop, Exit9, Book Club and Spoonbill & Sugartown. A set is in the permanent collection of the Avery Architecture and Fine Arts Library at Columbia University.

Copies are available for sale at howweate.com. And of course, you can see more on instagram
