I am going to a dinner and need to bring a dish. The theme is New York.

Any ideas?

Waldorf Salad. google will probably give you recipes. When I think of NYC I think of eating that. But I never made one.

If the theme is NY State... then there are some regional foods. For instance up here in the north country (we are over 300 miles from NYC) we cook salt potatos and they don't in lower NY STate. Apples and Dairy are our big products. So Apple Crisp, or Apple Pie or Apples cut up and carmel for a dip. Hence The Big Apple.

Dairy products: there are alot of NY Cheeses. Italian foods are very big in NYC. And there is Chinatown too.

I think I would go with Apples. A very easy and nice presentation is to put a block of cream cheese in the middle of a platter, pour a carmel sauce over it, slice some apples and arrange slices around the outside for dipping and you have covered the dairy and the apples.

Sounds like fun. Enjoy!!

I found this after googling NY theme party food

QUOTE
The drinks are poured; the table is set, now it’s time to eat. New York is famous for its’ restaurants and eateries so be sure to offer your guests a sampling of the City’s finest! Your guests will love a buffet overflowing with egg rolls and chow mein (from Chinatown), hot dogs (remember Nathan’s?), pizza (home of the famous slice), corned beef and pickles (from the Lower East Side), hot pretzels and roasted chestnuts (found on any street corner) and cheesecake (Lindy’s is the best).


Combine some or all of these New York delicacies with your own specialties for an evening that’s as delicious as it is fun.



And How did I forget Cheesecake?

Desserts are easy: black and white cookies, cheesecake, apple anything
Jewish deli food is very NY, by which I mean pickled herring, bagels, good lox, chopped chicken livers, corned beef sandwiches on good rye bread, etc.
like someone else said, Italian pastry is very NY--such as cannoli, neopolians, chocolate eclairs, rum balls--do you have any Italian bakeries where you are?

Idk, let me think about it today...
