Implicit vs. Explicit Culinary Geographical Disambiguation

An observation that I made to several people in the past couple of days:

If you are in New York, you do not order a “New York strip steak”. It’s just a “strip steak”.

If you are in New York, you do not order a “New York-style pizza”. It’s “pizza”. (Or New Yorkers think it is.)

If you are in Manhattan, you do still order a Manhattan.
