Yang ChenHi everyone!  I'm Jody and welcome to American Cafe
That's right!  And on today's program, we are going to take you to the Big Apple...New York City, to talk about something New Yorkers cannot live without.  Restaurants!   
Well, Yang Chen I spoke with Brian Carson, who is the manager of restaurant located in the heart of New York City.   
Most people don't cook in this city because it's set up to eat.  You walk outside your door and there's a sea of 10,000 restaurants on the isle of Manhattan.  It's just, it's part of the convenient, ummm, way of life in New York City.  People eat out.  They dine out, that's what they do.
He said "a sea of 10,000 restaurants" to describe when something is abundant. You could say, "The grassy field was a sea of green."  Ah, you could say, "She is drowning in a sea of confusion."
No, not you.  Another example, "The streets of New York are a sea of people."
What makes...um, things special for New Yorkers is when they throw dinner parties. It's the opposite. They invite people into their world and they create feasts in their environments.  That to me and to them is a special night.  Eating out is like a necessity in this city.  It's just what people do.
Right. And when I spoke to a customer, her name's Tammy, she was very honest in her response.  She also said she doesn't cook.  Much like you, Yang Chen.
