I'm watching for tourists.
Walk like you drive, people.
Keep to the right!

Navigating a new city can be hard.
What do I eat?
What is this place known for?
What do I pack in my bag?
What if I have to go to the bathroom?
I have to transfer to what train?
Can I fit all of my souvenirs into my suitcase?
There are so many cool cities across the US,
but even with cell phones and Google,
being a true city slicker can be a little tough.
So today we're bringing you five things
to make exploring a new city just a little
less overwhelming.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
If you're anything like me, one of the scariest parts
about being in a new city is knowing
where to go when you got to go.
So for those of us who got to go, gotta go,
gotta go right now, there's Sit or Squat,
a public bathroom finder.
It tells you where the closest bathroom
is and gives you directions to the nearest throne.
It also lets users leave reviews,
so you'll know just how disgusting
that bathroom is going to be by the time you get there.
And once you're full of relief and it's
time to actually navigate the city, there's City Mapper.
It gives you all of the public transit options
from where you are to where you're going,
lets you know when the nearest train's coming,
and which is the best train car to sit in for a quick exit.
The best part?
You can use is in cities all over the country
and all over the world.
Simple transportation on an empty bladder.
I'm sure that this is the future that Steve Jobs envisioned.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Before we head out, I've got a few things that I've still
got to talk to you guys about.
OK.
So, you want to walk 17 blocks for Insta-worthy ice cream.
You're going to be tired.
You're going to be thirsty.
You can and should bring a reusable water bottle.
But carrying a metal water bottle around for hours
is going to feel like you're carrying a small child.
So we recommend getting a collapsible one.
This one is BPA free, and it's rubber.
So once you're done, you can just smoosh it on up
and stick it in your bag.
Once upon a time I was a social media mogul
and I got a lot of likes by taking pictures of pictures.
So I know it's an extra thing to fit into your bag
but get yourself a Polaroid camera.
I mean, we're on vacation here.
We've got to take tangible memories.
And then we're just going to have some pictures to take
pictures of, like this one.
It's going to be beautiful.
Maybe you're traveling alone and a selfie's the way to go.
So we got a selfie stick, but it's not just any selfie stick.
This is a motorized selfie stick.
It's amazing.
It stays in place when you want to take cool video of yourself,
and it's totally motorized.
Yes, change the angle.
Go up.
Go down.
This is going to be the ultimate vacation selfie.
When you go on vacation, do you tend
to buy a bunch of postcards, promising you're going to send
these to your family and friends,
but you never do, so you just end up
with a bunch of these at home?
Just me?
OK.
Well if you're like me, we should
do something with them right?
Right.
So today we are going to up-cycle our unused postcards
to make a cool waiter tray like the sophisticated travelers
that we are.
So first thing we're going to do--
get some corks.
You can get these one of three ways.
You can go online.
You can go to a craft store.
Or you can drink about 110 bottles of wine.
I'll let you speculate my method.
So our corks are about an inch and a half, an inch and 3/4.
So we are going to cut up our postcards to strips that size.
So once you've caught up a bunch of strips of your postcards,
you are going to go back to third grade and paper mache.
You're going to take a cork and one of your strips.
Oh, Lady Liberty.
She is going to go on this cork.
Wrap it around.
Now the key is to let these strips
soak for a really long time.
Otherwise they're not going to stick very well.
But if you find that you're having problems, that's cool.
You can just take a tack and stab it in there.
Can't get the tack in.
If you're like me and you went the drinking wine route,
you can check out our episode, "Don't
Try This At Home" for some fun ideas
to up-cycle your leftover bottles.
We lit some glass on fire.
We lit a bottle on fire.
We almost lit my face on fire.
It's real fun.
I suggest turning it on and watching it,
because this is going to take a while.
So now that our corks are dry, we're going to glue them
down to this shadow box back.
take the back out of the shadow box.
This is what your corks are getting glued down to.
Now, with a hot glue gun, glue them down.
You can do whatever pattern you want--
zigzags, lines.
Be creative.
The world is your oyster.
This isn't going to take forever.
I did this, and now I'll never forget
all the cool places I went.
I'm going to stick this in my shadow box.
I'm going to flip this into my shadow box.
And seal it up.
That looks so good!
I'm really proud.
I could cry.
But I won't.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
If you live in a walking city, you
know that the way to spot a tourist
is by their atrociously large backpack
and their running shoes.
But if you're a tourist, why not try to fit in with the locals
while trying to keep your balance on your first ever
subway ride?
So today, we're going to hack a purse.
The key to this is bags on bags on bags on bags.
First things first, you're going to take
the book that you want to read in the park
to look intellectual.
Put it right up on the side so it can, like, protect your body
from all the other things that could
potentially stab you in there.
Now I'm going to separate everything out into pouches.
Trust me on this it makes accessing
everything so much easier.
I'm going to do a make up pouch.
We've got a toothbrush and toothpaste pouch.
That way if you're out all day and you just end up in a bar
and there's some cutie at the end of it, you're prepared.
Make yourself a little first aid pouch.
Stick some aspirin in there so you don't have to, like,
dig around the bottom of your bag for it.
Some band aids, cough drops, whatever
you feel like you might need.
We're going to put a canvas bag in there, because you're
going to be buying yourself a lot of souvenirs
and a lot of presents.
You don't want to have to carry around plastic
and paper bags all day.
And last thing, you're going to put your wallet on top
for easy access, so that way when you see that bakery
that you saw all over Spoon's Instafeed,
you've got easy access to your money.
Yo, tell me I'm not Mary Poppins.
There's so much great food to be found in America.
Austin has barbecue.
Los Angeles has [INAUDIBLE] and avocados.
New York has pizza.
Chicago has worse pizza.
How can we choose one magical city
and it's delicious recipes for our taste buds to travel to?
We can't, and we won't.
So we chose three.
Now Philadelphia's got pretzels, Baltimore has crabs,
and New Orleans has Cajun food.
So today, we are making crab cake stuffed pretzel bites
with creole dipping sauce.
We're going to start with some crab, and some scallions,
just going to dump them in.
Some sriracha.
Oh, yeah.
Worcestershire.
Cream cheese.
I don't know why I said it like that.
And mix it all up Oh my god this sounds so delicious.
So, as you can see I did not choose the right utensil
to be mixing things.
But that's OK.
We make it work here at Spoonproof.
There is a fork next to me.
So that was fun, but we're over it.
I'm just going to keep mixing this
so there's no more chunks of cream cheese left.
Now we're going to put in a little bit of salt,
maybe a little more than that.
And some Old Bay, some garlic powder, and pepper.
If you have no idea what I just did,
don't worry because we're going to have a recipe card for you
guys at the end of this.
I'm going to stick this in the fridge for a little bit.
All right, now you are going to take some pretzel dough.
We made this off camera because it takes about 25 minutes
to rise, and I know you guys don't have time
to watch me make pretzel dough.
Although I'm sure it would be very entertaining.
Roll it out with the roiling pin.
If you guys don't have time to make this at home,
you can buy it at the store.
It comes in a box mix.
(SINGING) Rolling.
Rolling.
Rolling out my pretzel dough.
Cool.
Now I'm going to make rounds, with this.
I'm pushing down hard so this goes
all the way through the dough.
I've successfully done one.
Two left.
It should be about that size.
You're going to take your crab mix
and put in just a little scoop.
This much is probably too much.
That was too much.
Stick it on your round.
You're going to fold it over and in.
Make sure you seal it, otherwise your crab's going
to explode all over the place.
Now we are going to brush these with a little bit of lye
and sprinkle a little salt on top.
For those of you guys who don't know what lye is,
it comes in the pretzel box mix, and you
brush it on to the pretzels dough
to make them brown in the oven.
Do not eat the lye.
Don't eat the lye until these have been cooked.
You'll get sick.
So now I'm going to stick these in the oven for 20 minutes
at 400 degrees.
This is hard to do from this angle.
So while those are cooking, we are going to make
our creole dipping sauce.
You are going to take a cup of mayonnaise
and some brown mustard with a little bit of Old Bay
and a little bit of salt. Yum.
Spicy.
20 minutes later.
Let's talk them out of the oven.
I'm starving.
Get your dipping sauce.
Be careful because they might be a little hot.
Right on.
I've got three cities in my mouth.
(SINGING) She's the man.
Making the bites.
Crab is inside a pretzel.
Creole dipping sauce.
It tastes so good.
I'm going to choke if I keep singing.
