Travel destination eats...

[tvp2003]

Inspired by watching the travel network last week and some of the food-related shows they had (Food Wars, Man v. Food, etc.), what are some North American travel destinations and their must eat signature foods? Some obvious ones to start:

Chicago - Chicago Style Pizza
NY - NY style thin crust pizza, bagels, cheesecake, Coney Island hot dogs
Philadelphia - Philly Cheese Steak

Canada is a little harder:

Montreal - Smoked meat, poutine
Halifax - Donairs?
Victoria - English style fish & chips?

Any less obvious places and/or regional picks? Oh, and feel free to add restaurant suggestions

Just got back from New York City. So many things to do there, but for some reason the food stands out over other memories. It is a foodies paradise. Cheap or expensive, every imaginable type, style, taste.

Best dim sum I've had since living in Hong Kong.
taro tapioca bubble tea - YUM!
Wagyu beef carpaccio at Morimoto's has me salivating just thinking about it
Grimaldi's pizza in Brooklyn
amazing wine list and appetizers at Esca
even a hot pretzel from a street vendor was tasty

can't wait to go back

I watch Anthony Bourdain and he goes to a lot of places but my favorite one was when he went to Mexico, all the food just looked awesome. Mexico City, not the resorts,
