One of the halmarks of New York
are his restaurants and more then fantastic cuisine. Here you can try almost
evry world cuisine. You have got ethiopean one just right around the corner. In
Brooklyn you have got a Uighur one, and also Vietnamese, Korean, Malaysian, Brazilian
... My personal favorite so far is tai. Beside the restaurants you have a fast
food restaurants like a Indian guy that you can find with his mobile behind the
counter at Washington Square Park. Ther is also Mamoun's Falafel who is real hit,
and the queue is enormous, subsequently israelian, marokan, chinese food,
bakerys and pizzerias.
(Here you can not
find anything salty except empty kroasan)
Restoran cuisine is very developed here, Peopla are oten eating in restaurants, some of then 3 meals
a day. Here you can breakfats in restaurants, and I guess nobody is making coffee at home because
everybody buys it- usually in Starbucks. You can find Starbuch in almost every
street. Contrary to good restaurants there are food chains like McDonald's, Burger King, KFC, Dunkin Donuts,
Subway. Somethimes they are hard to resist esspecialy when you want to eat
something sweat. Only for comparison a sandwich with cheese and ham in Dunkin
Donats costs 3 Dollars, and in restaurant it costs 6 dollars. In Dunkin Donats
they are Dunkin sandwich that you create one
removed from the refrigerator roll of yellow color, cut
a reel and
reel with cheese
and ham inserted into a bagel or croissant,
and all together in the microwave,
while in café they bake eggs in front of you. Anyway, that was the one of the most interesting
things there- omelet
sandwich, we did not hear than anyone is making a sandwich with eggs. In fact here they literally
push all in the
sandwich, so I'm not much surprised. I definetly learned how to
make a sandwich in 100 ways.
Who
wants to skip the restaurant and eat well, he can buy in"gourmet food stores" ,the store that sell
organic food and it
is than the one you can buy
in a regular supermarket
or small grocery stores.
One
of better places you can buy is Zabar on Upper West Side who is there since 20s
last century.
They
have a large selection of cheeses, and in the end of buisiness hour they have got a sandwiches on
sale.
In
ordianary supermarkets which are also suplied well, they are selling "food for the masses" that churns out the big, food is atrifical and they are
doing everything to make it cheaper but therefore food is unhealthy.
Of
course there are exceptions everywhere,
I do not want to sound too harsh,
but it really has that effect. In America, it is noticeable that the poorer the
federal state is.You can find more obese, which can be detected
from the New York City when you go down in
poorer neighborhoods.
Of
all the things put in the food you can
only think when some products stand out
as "no antibiotics",
or cheese but if
you look better you can see
smaller inscribed "cheese like product",
or "product that looks like
cheese" and immediately it is clear therefore that
cost $ 1.5 and
the other, real cheese $ 4.
Not to mention that something called "corn syrup" is present in
almost every processed food item,
or in some canned
beans says "vegetarian"
and then try to imagine what you have in those where is not written
that it is vegetarian ...
Another weird thing are pharmacies, cause you can buy there almost everything. Pharmacies
are open 24 hours, selling sweets, snacks, soft
drinks, bread, home care. ... If you call and even drug stores for
a wider range it is overdoed again.
They
is a lot of "Vitamin Shop's" where you
can buy all kinds of products that
will help make up for the lack of this or any other minerals, vitamins and fatty
acids. Proteins, capsules,
energy, anti-depressants, the entire pharmaceutical
industry in this kind of stores.
Buy and consume, because it
is important to enter the daily antioxidants and
minerals and amino acids and
vitamins, and enzymes. So buying
cheap bad food
and then going
to vitamin shop to
buy additional supplements. So it
is best to immediately save time
and buy something worthwhile, for a little more money (again, if you want to
be healthy), but sometimes the
situation can still lead to a lower price, and try
not to think too much about what you eat.
Judging
by the crowds in the stores
that sell good food, it would seem that
New Yorkers are still
aware of what they are putting in
thereselves, but again other
stores would not exist at every corner that there are not those who buy there ...
