风味: the "taste style" of food; the "cultural type" of flavor. So you'll get the meaning.

風 literally means "aura" of a place, in reference to a cultural specialty (e.g., custom, tradition, folklore, poetry, cuisine, etc.) that is able to reflect the tradition, spirit, or aura (風 wind, air, ambience, atmosphere, feel) of that place.
北京風味: literally "Beijing aura and flavor" = Beijing local flavor
北京風俗 Beijing local customs and traditions
北京風情 Beijing local customs and practices
秦風 folk songs (local songs) of the Qin State
