Leave it to the New York Times to turn the simple act of looking hot while eating spaghetti into a controversial commentary on the state of the feminist social media gaze. Oh madone!

Whether you're actually trying to make a saucy statement with your selfie or just want to pretend you're in Italy like everyone else on your Instagram feed, these are the best New York spots for dressing up while getting #noods.
