The famous Chip, with its
tantalizing photos of thick, melty
chocolate chip cookies, is a prime
example of the kind of food that
should be mapped in Popcity.
“They were really influential to
the app, in terms of social media,”
he said. “They have a social media
presence that captured the purpose
of Instagram when it came to food.”
As for Pera’s favorite food items
in Astoria? He listed the chocolate
chip walnut cookie from Chip,
gnocchi di patate from Vite, and
QWNS Cafe’s blueberry lemon
ginger muffin.
Popcity is only working in NYC
as of now, but the team has been
meeting with contacts in other cities
with potential for expansion. And
though he said startup life holds a
lot of pressure in itself, Pera doesn’t
regret leaving law behind at all.
“I’m looking forward to the point
where we can have an office,
provide jobs I’m proud of,” he said.
“I can’t wait for what’s to come.”
