Instagram’s Big FishYou don’t have to set foot inside the popular seafood restaurant Catch LA to get a good look at it. The spot is Instagram’s most geo-tagged restaurant

in the country. This is no accident—owner Mark Birnbaum and his partners designed every detail of the space and menu with social media in mind, right down to the final course: a towering cake called “Hit Me,” with a top layer that oozes white chocolate ganache when you smash it. Turn the page to find 50 other great restaurant photo ops across the country.
