Episode Title:  New York, New York 

Introduction

Cece: What’s up guys? Welcome to the first episode of our podcast, “Food Away From Home (World Tour)”, with your hosts Annie, Cece, and Shiv.  In this episode, we're going to be talking about the different foods that you can find in New York City, and where they can be found. 

Shiv: There are many good places to eat in New York City. There are many different cultures, places, and styles of food. New York is what you could call a melting pot of different foods and people. It can be very overwhelming at times, but we are here to help you narrow down your choices and give you some ideas on where we like to eat.

• Cece talks about restaurants:
• Mediterranean: “Il Trapezino”, “Eataly”, 
• Il Trapezino is a European-italian-based restaurant, where you can find these triangular shaped bread pieces, with a choice of fillings that are like plain with cheese and pepper, “cacio e pepper”, red sauce, like “polpetta e sugo”, and more, leaving you with a warm tasting dish for your day. It can be found at the lower east side, orchard street. 
• Eataly is a restaurant-market-store based  food court, where you can find a variety of foods to eat, as well as you can shop for many European-Italian foods. It can be found at Flat Iron, NYC, and Liberty street, and Lafayette street.
• Asian: “Pecking Duck House”
• The Peking Duck House is an Asian style restaurant, where they serve you soups, rice, pad thais, and then crepe-like bread that you can put vegetables like small celery sticks, and onions in, with sliced grilled-glazed duck pieces as well. Then you can fold the bread with the ingredients into a burrito, and add soy sauce for a final finish. It can be found in Chinatown, New York City.

Segment 2:  Street food in New York City

Cece: Moving onto our next segment, we will be talking about street food in New York City. A lot of food and popular tourist attractions in New York food wise is street food. You see it in so many movies and shows, people grabbing a hot pretzel on a cold day, or snagging a chili hot dog. There are so many different types of street food and varying cultures. Street food is a great option to resort to to eat something on the go or if you can’t find a fitting restaurant around. 

• Annie talks about street food like smoothies, pretzels, etc
• I am sure that no matter if you have been to New York or not, you have heard about street food. If you haven't it is exactly how it sounds. Food on the street. There are many different carts, there are many blue carts and some trucks thrown in and other carts. These carts have food from pretzels, to Indian, to ice cream. If you want something, chances are these carts have it. Some of the toppings that you can put onto your hot dog could be yellow mustard, an onion sauce, but the most popular topping is sauerkraut, which is fermented cabbage. Toppings for a pretzel could include salt, obviously, along with a yellow mustard, which is very good.

Annie: Craving a sweet treat? Then you have come to the right place! In our last segment we will be talking about where you are able to satisfy those cravings. There are many different options for sweet treats in New York as well as many different cultures in New York. We will be talking about some of our favorites

This podcast will be about food from around the world and traveling to different countries throughout the world. We will talk about different countries that we have been to. Then, we will talk about the ratings of the foods, restaurants, and scenarios of “What If” would also be incorporated into our podcast, to see the different scenarios that could happen if things changed in different countries.  We are mostly going to talk about different foods globally. 

We can describe the food that we have eaten and experienced in foreign countries, or nearby places. When describing the food, we can talk about rating the food, and the ratings of the places that we can get the food from. The “What If” scenarios could consist of things like, “What if Italy’s most known food wasn’t pasta or pizza, but it was mac and cheese and burgers? Would that change the overall tourism in the country, or the health of its citizens?”. So, this could also be an idea to make the podcast have an additional twist to it.
