"It's the city's most photographed food by a landslide. But it's not just the pizza, it's where it's from. Upon further analysis, the study reveals that Brooklyn comes out on top as the most tagged pizza location, beating Manhattan more than two to one. L'Industrie Pizzeria, in Williamsburg, is the standout, name-checked repeatedly by users chasing the perfect slice and the perfect photo to go with it."
"Second place in the food photo popularity contest goes to cheesecake. While it doesn't quite match pizza's numbers, #nyccheesecake still boasts hundreds of thousands of posts, most of them on Instagram. Queens is the top spot for cheesecake, proving that some of the city's best food can be found outside Manhattan. Jackson Heights favorites like Lety's Bakery and Cafe and Cannelle Patisserie are among the most tagged cheesecakes."
"Sushi rounds out the top three food faves, as #nycsushi pulls in nearly 85,000 posts across platforms. Manhattan is the star when it comes to sushi. Midtown alone accounts for a hefty share, thanks to heavy-hitters like Hatsuhana, Nobu Fifty Seven and Sozai. The food is always a work of art, and the sleek dining rooms of these Manhattan restaurants clearly play well on camera."
