It can be found at the lower east side, orchard street.

• 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.
