Well... it's definitely NYC. The problem is that it's not a state.

I’m from Texas/Louisiana and went abroad in Italy this last semester, most Italians I spoke with were very curious about both but knew more about Texas than Louisiana

As a Floridian, Florida is always iconic. Too bad the land was and still is being constantly torn up, reshaped, and developed to meet the "tropical escape" ideal. Florida is supposed to be a backwater swamp. If you can't handle her in her natural state, just go away, please stop ;-;

Back in the 80’ was Florida, 90’s was Cali and that west side Hollywood vibe. I say then New York came back in the 2000’s. I guess currently the hottest state right now is Texas.

As a foreigner... State? California, because of how much media is produced there and shown to the whole world. City? New York City of course.

The results don't add up. California has Hollywood, Death Valley, San Francisco (Golden Gate bridge), surfer culture, The Gold Rush, Silicon Valley, Alcatraz, Disneyland, Tahoe, Napa Valley. Hate it all you want but no state comes close to the iconic status of California.

Many people who come to the U.S. for graduate school expect it to be all NYC and are disappointed when they end up in, like, Urbana-Champaign.

When Brits and Irishmen think of Americans or American culture, we usually call them Yanks, but we joke about them saying "yee-haw!" and wearing 10-gallon hats, so Texas. (Barring the exonym that is used differently within America than outside it, kind of like how all British people are called "English" by the Chinese [yingguoren] and Japanese.)
