#12>There’s also a strong geographic connection between the subway and pizza: Of all the pizzerias in New York City, 79% (1438 / 2290) are within a 10 minute walk of a subway entrance. according to that map (and common sense) basically everything in New York is a 10 min walk from the subway even if it isn't a pizzaria.
Not quite: this map [1] illustrates that there are large swaths of eastern Queens, southeastern Brooklyn, the Bronx and even parts of Manhattan that are more than a 10 minute walk from the subway. Since blocks between avenues are 1/3 of a mile long (and 1/20 of a mile between numbered streets), at 10th Av and 23rd St, you're about a 10 minute walk from both the 23rd ACE and 34th 7 stations (assuming you can walk a mi…
I wish the water, streets, and deserts were different colors.

>What a lot of people don't realize is that the subway is not all that convenient to where large parts of the population in the city lives Um, how many people actually live in those islands you found? A lot of those narrow islands could be eliminated by just increasing the walk time to ~12 min. Even more should be covered by the recent 2nd ave extension. The whole strip on Manhattan's East side will be covered once t…
The map I see is this: https://imgur.com/h74uIJB I'd say there's a pretty large land area not within 10 minutes of a subway station.
Unless what you're trying to say is "places that don't have the public transport to support high-density housing don't have high density housing" - if that's what you're saying, I agree with you!

Any culture can redefine what pizza means.
There are quite a lot of foods and beverages which have a protected name bound to the ingredients that are allowed to be used to create it in a specific way. Take Mozzarella in general or for a local example beer in Germany(Reinheitsgebot).
It is not far fetched that Italian Pizza could be a candidate for a TSG marking. There are individual pizzas which already are protected, take Pizza Napoletana for example.

The only thing more overrated than New York pizza is New York bagels. (Ok, I take that back, In-n-Out Burger is more overrated than both.)
But outside of New England "New York Bagel" is polite code for Jewish bagel, ie the type using unleavened bread. It means actual bagel, not bagel-shaped bread.
(I say jewish rather than kosher, because many of the best bagel places don't qualify as kosher. At Vancouver's best bagel place (siegels) you can get cheese on your Montreal smoked meat bagel.)

What's a non-Jewish New York Bagel?
I've never heard of "Jewish bagel".
Montreal bagels are "Jewish", and are the opposite of New York bagels.

We're talking about NY Pizza, not Italian or Napoletana.

New York style pizza is frickin horrible. those thin floppy slices can't support any reasonable amount of toppings. I actually prefer Domino's over most New York style pizza, and Domino's is pretty bottom of the barrel. The worst offender is the New York style cheese pizza which is basically just an oversized soggy triangular cracker which appears to have been dipped in oil. Blech.

The examples shown are all quite traditional and conservative.
If you go to a lot of college towns you can get a pizza topped with taco ingredients, or fried chicken and bleu cheese, or even pesto sauce and cheese-filled tortellini.
