US pet trends and Pennsylvania culinary highlights

A study by MetLife Pet Insurance analyzing Google search trends reveals that the United States leans toward dog ownership, with 47% of searches favoring dogs compared to 28% for cats. While 27 states show a preference for dogs, much of the Northeast, including Pennsylvania, New York, and Connecticut, shows a higher interest in cats. Philadelphia is identified as the most cat-leaning major metropolitan area in the country.

In Pennsylvania, local culinary highlights include sandwich shops such as Angelo’s Pizzeria in Philadelphia, known for its house-baked bread and cheesesteaks, and Moxmoe Pictures Famous Sandwiches in State College, which features a movie-themed atmosphere and made-to-order subs.
