If Turkey is on a bucket list, do not be surprised by the genuine kindness and hospitality that will be shown in the home. ‘Taking good care of the guest’ is almost a motto lived by true Turkish (Turkish, n.d.). Listed above was just a few of the bigger countries with wide cultures and gastronomy; now this paper is going to focus closer on some major cities in the United States.
Gastronomy and Culture in the United States New York City is a huge city with a big name to uphold. The population of 8 million, not including the tourists, has high expectations of a great culture and food. New York is known for bringing recipes and cultures from all over the world and then recreating them to make it their own. There is almost every kind of food you could think of around New York, along with a certain place that specializes in that genre. The culture of NYC has a diversity like no other. Almost half of the populating in NYC was not born in the United States. There are over two hundred languages that are spoken in this city (Country, 2015). With all of this in mind, combining all these different ethnicities and cultures makes for a cosmopolitan city unlike any other. The most known attractions in NYC are Times Square, Central Park, and Broadway. All over the world people are familiar with these sites. These are the things that makes NYC “the city that never sleeps”. As mentioned before, the food is brought from all over the world and then recreating to fit the New York City
I chose to address the questions what are the strengths and weaknesses of the American diet, as well as, what is distinctive about American food. I chose these questions to focus my research paper on because of the relationship between the American diet and health care. The United States is one of the most culturally diverse countries in the world, due to immigration, which is what makes it so distinctive. The diet also has many flaws including the cause for rising medical issues. I have a pre-nursing major, so diet plays a big role in the medical field. My purpose for researching the American diet is to be able to…. With the Industrial Revolution, the inventions of many new products such as processed foods, refrigerators, and fast food chains.

The issue with the re-developing of New Orleans is an area that has been debated between governors, investors, urban planners, residents and other professionals since hurricane Katrina, the costliest “natural” disaster in 2005. This wonderful place, is a Louisiana city near the Gulf of Mexico. Its strategic position, becomes the exit of the great Mississippi-Missouri river system, which drains the interior North of America. New Orleans is one of the lowest spots in the United States, it is already as much as 17 feet below sea level in some places, and it continues to sink more than an inch a year. Re-developing New Orleans will be a difficult aspect because of its location, topography and weather conditions. However, New Orleans is one of the most culturally rich urban

I was born in Bronx New York, and moved when I was just about to start Kindergarten. I had a lot of family who still lived in the Bronx so I would spend a tremendous amount of time visiting my cousins. I guess you could say I was basically raised in the Bronx. As a child growing into my teen years I would hangout in the school playgrounds to play Basketball with my cousins and who ever wanted to play ball. I was first introduced to the N word when I was around 10 years old. I heard it while I was playing with my cousins and a group of older kids were sitting at a table talking. The part that was odd is that some of those kids were black and white. As I grew up the N word followed me into Brewster NY where I resign currently. I had many

My project will be about how Wall Street got its name and how it became America's financial industry. As a matter of fact, New Amsterdam or later renamed as New York by the English Rule was first founded by the Dutch in 1614, for no other reason than to make a profit or a buck. New Amsterdam occupied much of the tip of lower Manhattan and was managed by the Dutch India Company. After two decades of New Amsterdam being founded it was a disorderly town with no order established, that caused a bad morale at its lowest. In 1647 New Amsterdam got a new director-general Peter Stuyvesant who had a strict orders by the Dutch India Company to clean up the place up. Within the same year of his arrived as director-general to the colony Stuysevant, banned drinking alcohol on Sundays and outlawed fornicating with the Indians. Therefore, he establishes an economic
After I saw the place, the people, and their interaction, I got the deep understanding of the United States. I have to admit that America is the busiest city in the world. In Beijing, which is the best city in China, I have never seen so many grand buildings in one area as in Times Square. As Times Square is the symbol of New York, I can see the fashion of this city. And I also find that people here prefer to watch opera, because there is a long line in front of every theater. From the restaurant, I can obtain the American’s taste that they prefer the fast-food,
Were going to be talking about problems, historic events and tragedies that occurred in New York. I am also going to be talking about things that are common and things that are different between early New York and New York today. According to “America’s Best History U.S. Timeline and facts about the 1870’s,” New Yorks Mayor Boss Tweed is arrested”, “Thomas Nast German had skewed the Boss Tweed ring in his cartoons, is credited with an important role in his downfall”. “The National Rifle Association is granted a charter by the State of New York”. “New York Metropolitan Museum of art opens.” “New York City politician Boss Tweed escapes prison, he would be captured and returned to authorities.” And so much more has happened in the city for both

Jacquelyn was a modest, simple girl from the Bronx, New York. But that 's all she seemed to be. That 's all she knew she was. Jacquelyn, although known as Jacquelyn on stage, was just the young girl that performed in the local bars and pubs of the Bronx.
On November 6, I went to Chinatown and I had my dinner at there. All the way down to the South, after I passed lakeshore drive and downtown, I arrived Chinatown. Usually I go to Chinatown once a week because I am from China and thus I really like Chinese food. First, I went to Little Lamb Hot Pot to have my dinner. After the dinner, I went to the food market to buy some food supplies and cooking materials. In my opinion, the impact of globalization in Chicago’s Chinatown can be reflected in food, commodity, and culture.
When you mention New York to anyone, they automatically think about Times Square. This beautiful place with skyscrapers, Central Park, and a unique transportation system. However, if you were to ask me what I think about New York; I believe the skyscrapers block the sun, Central park is just a regular park for dogs, and the subway trains rarely run consistently especially in the mornings. I have lived in New York for 18 years, and I have yet to understand what everyone likes about the “ Big Red Apple.”
The short story Mexico City from 1950 was written by Ray Bradbury. The original name for this story was The Window. It was later named Mexico City and Calling Mexico. All three names make sense considering what the story is about.
Food culture in the United States is consistently changing and accumulating new traditions all the time. It is quite challenging to define American food with its own single dish, since America is pretty much the melting pot of various cultures. In New York State, but more specifically New York City is a place where people can explore the diversity of food and its cultures from all over the world.
