Sylvia Seid is the sister in law and wife of the men who founded what is now considered a Chinatown cultural trademark - The Chinatown Ice-cream Factory. Of Peruvian and Chinese descent, Seid describes her upbringing and her childhood growing up in Peru and the States. She also discusses the evolution of the ice-cream business from the late 1970s to the early twentieth century and how it has transformed from being the once tourist destination to the now localized sweet-treat icon it is known as today.
