Now, a new study is claiming the Empire State is a national leader in another food category: romantic restaurants.

Instacams.com wanted to know where couples will have the easiest and hardest time finding places to enjoy a romantic meal.

Turns out, there's practically one on every corner here in New York.

The study counted the number of restaurants located in each state's 10 most populous cities and flagged every one that focuses on intimate dining.

New York has 16,718 restaurants across its biggest cities and 1,035 of them are categorized as "romantic."

When identifying the city with the largest concentration of idyllic eateries, New York City claimed the #1 spot with roughly 7.7% of all their restaurants falling under that category.

Quantity doesn't equal quality, though, because Central New York is still the #1 spot to enjoy a cozy meal with a significant other.
