A foreign LLC is simply one created in a different jurisdiction (e.g. different state or country). A domestic one is one created in the state you are operating in. The cost differences between creating an LLC here or there tend to be trivial. For simplicity's sake, while getting both the best tax treatment for a small business with a sole owner or small number of partners, simply create and register a NY LLC where you elect "partnership" or "pass" tax treatment (not corporate treatment): that will avoid double taxation, and any profit or loss will simply drop your personal bottom line and alter adusted gross income for tax purposes.
