I have been fortunate that I live near the biggest city of the United States- New York and that means that I am exposed to a world full of different culture and that means different ethnic food. There is a huge variety of food in New York City and if you don’t want to sit inside, you can still enjoy your food with hundreds of food vendors on the sidewalks of the city. But mostly these sidewalk vendors don’t offer that much variety as you can get hotdogs and some ‘Halal Food’, but once you start exploring the restaurants you would find that you can eat almost any ethnic food. There are Asian, European, African food and South American restaurants.
Every culture who have established themselves in this city have tried to maintain ties with their home countries and food is one of the main identities that they want to keep and thus you see different nationalities restaurants in almost every neighborhood of the city. But apart from their own country folks, other nationalities also enjoy foods from countries other than their own and this somehow makes city unique. Although now we find various ethnic foods and restaurants in almost all the major cities of the country, but I believe that since New York City is a melting pot with United Nations and almost every member country represented here, we see varieties of food found here unparalleled
