When I first moved to Florida coming from NY ... it was a pure cultural shock! From good drinking fountain water to pizza to missing the Italian bakery; cannoli's, REAL cheesecakes, the cookies, and (YUM!) pastries - the list is endless. Whatever I could find in Publix, would be sufficient or as substitutions.
Life was never the same since leaving Long Island, New York

So you can imagine all the good foods! The list would be too long.
I am finally happy. LOL
OH! Now, if I still ate sweets or baked things's Entemann's is nowhere, tho. A NY thing.
I don't know how widely they've begun distributing but readily available in coastal NC. But apparently not their brownies which I always liked.
Well, since leaving Del Rio Texas - to SE TX, CA, AZ back to SE TX - I've never had a breakfast taco that tastes as good as at Chinto's Super Taco's in Del Rio, Egg and potato with onions and cheese - w/green sauce. One was perfect. The potatoes were NOT french fries - they were wonderful !!! AZ makes breakfast taco's with the huge tortilla and it's too much for just one person.
Left Wisconsin almost 27 years ago and have yet to find anyone who can produce a quality Friday night fish fry and a good brandy old fashioned. Wisconsin does those right!
Hot dog carts are NOT the same around the country. I doubt that you can find something all that similar to Sabrette's carts anywhere else. Likewise, you cab probably not find a true Chicago hot dog outside of Chicagoland and Phoenix
There are Chicago dogs in LA area (even a couple of Portillo's), San Diego and Las Vegas at a minimum. You can find hot dog stands in a lot of cities that serve NY style dogs - Nathans are available nationwide.

Entemann's, haven't heard/seen that name in a while. It's possible that with as many products they put out I must have had something since we moved further south. I tried to do a product search by zip and selected many but when I hit enter, got a strange error, "agent offline"? Guess I'll just look in the stores. Having moved from NY to Pa, also quite familiar with Tastykake. I try to get their mini cinnamon donuts on occasion. I've actually tried to cut down on stuff like that but da** hubby keeps buying them. Leaves them out and doesn't always finish them. I have to keep reminding him. These are his individual excursions shopping. When we go out together, I may coax him to split a sub or sandwich with me. It cuts down on the baked goods placed in the cart, providing that they're not buried under a bunch of other things.

Reason: Spelling correction
Entenmann's is widely available in the Los Angeles area as well as the Washington D.C. area (and likely in many other areas). I don't think it's a regional thing at all.
