NP Eats

Emma Franznick

Local restaurants and eateries can help build a sense of shared community culture and identity through their food. NP Eats showcases the different types of cuisines offered in the town of New Paltz as an exclusive app for SUNY New Paltz students. Through interviews with owners and staff, I asked them for the history of their restaurant and what makes their restaurant unique from others.
I created an app for students that helps them discover all the popular restaurants in New Paltz. This app aims to help eliminate the risk involved in trying a new restaurant without knowing anything about its cuisine or ambiance. The app utilizes features such as coupons, a leveling system and photo galleries to help keep students curious to try new restaurants in town.
