For over 30 years Penny Bridge has been an integral part for the community living between Henry Street and Clark Street in Brooklyn Heights. This small corner store offers a variety of products, and has been and still is a primary choice when it comes to grocery shopping. What makes this place special though is the variety of fresh sandwiches that Penny Bridge offers. Since Penny Bridge it’s situated in a strategic point, and in front of a college dorm the amount of clients they have every day it’s quiet impressive. Many students me included prefer to buy things at Penny Bridge since their prices are low compared to other stores. The most successful product they offer are their sandwiches as everyone says around the school dorm.
The owners originally from Yemen are very polite and helpful when it comes to chose the sandwich of your choice. The choices are numerous, and the prices are relatively low compared to other Deli’s or corner stores.
Penny Bridge has a whole section dedicated to sandwiches. They have heroes, rolls, wraps, veggies, and many other sandwiches. Also, meat choices are numerous. Whatever you wanna have in your sandwich is up to you. What makes this place great though, is that you have also healthy choices. One of the problems is that Penny Bridge is not a fast food, and sometimes you have to wait up to 15 minutes for your sandwich to be ready.
I’m going to do this Podcast using a variety of multimedia tools. Firstly, i’m going to interview the owners and workers and ask them something more about the history of Penny Bridge. Also, interview usual clients and understand why they prefer Penny Bridge compared to other places. I’m going to ask questions about their sandwiches, and why they are such a success in this area etc. At last, i want to interview students that live around that area, and ask them questions about Penny Bridge. Secondly, i’m going to take pictures of the store, and the area around it. Also, take some pictures of the workers and clients. Thirdly, i’m going to research some information regarding Penny Bridge and the surroundings. I want to see how the place looked like before, and how it has become now.
I think it shouldn’t be a problem recording and interviewing at Penny Bridge. The audio quality should be good, because the place is small and isolated. The problem will be finding the time to interview the workers at Penny Bridge since it is always busy. Interviewing students and usual clients would be the fun part of this Podcast. I want to find out what makes this place so special to so many people.
