Seth Kugel is a travel writer and videomaker best known (among Americans) for writing the Frugal Traveler column for The New York Times from 2010-2016 and (among Brazilians) for hosting the Amigo Gringo YouTube channel, a series intended to help Brazilians understand New York City and American culture. He has been an elementary school teacher in the Bronx, an immigrant services provider in the Bronx, a reporter for the Times' City section in the Bronx and the Brazil correspondent for Global Post (in São Paulo, because you can't do that in the Bronx). Strangely, he has appeared frequently on Brazilian late-night TV, and even more strangely, occasionally fantasizes about being an economist, especially when he catches wind of an interesting data set. Seth lives in Jackson Heights, Queens where he is an enthusiastic consumer of Thai, Colombian, Uruguayan, Bangladeshi and Tibetan food in what is almost certainly the most diverse neighborhood in the city. But his favorite food of all time is farofa -- the toasted manioc flour served as a side dish in any Brazilian meal worth its salt (and Brazilians use a LOT of salt) Profile pic: Sebastian Piras.
