If you're into pizza - like really into it - New York could be considered the mecca outside of Naples, Italy, and a must-visit for pizza obsessives of all stripes.

New York Style baked in a coal-fired oven? Now we're talking.

Mets colors and cumbersome cardboard trays were everywhere you looked as people frolicked from stand to stand, sampling what over 50 vendors had traveled from around the world to share with New York.

Flower Shop, led by Eldridge Hospitality co-founders Dylan Hales and Ronnie Flynn, will now offer a more expansive food menu with a big-name chef like Huang behind the wheel.

With so many ways to reinvent the burger, Peter Luger has remained focused on quality ingredients. The restaurant is known for using only USDA Prime meat that is dry-aged on site.

Always ahead of the curve and nostalgic as a hobby, New Yorkers are leaning into a dominant food trend from when the subway fare was $2.25, Occupy Wall Street camped out at Zuccotti Park, New York Fashion Week had recently relocated to Lincoln Center, and yes, there was a fro-yo shop on every corner.

The city's eponymous magazine, The New Yorker, published the essay that vaulted him into stardom as he was slinging steak frites.

Authentic NYC pizza is a large slice served hot on a disposable plate, crisp yet tender enough to fold with one hand and wolfed down tip-first (preferably whilst standing or walking).
