Corned Beef and Hashtag. Comodo New York's Instagram Menu.

We all know how much people love to Instagram their food when they go out.
Comodo Restaurant in New York decided to turn the "food porn" trend to their advantage by creating a version of their menu on Instagram with the simple addition of a hashtag (#) next to images each of their courses.

This way people could decide what to order by searching the hashtag of each course on Instagram and seeing what other people have posted about it.



Also, at the end of the meal, patrons can add their own photograph to the collection, along with their thoughts and reviews.
