Submission: NYC Restaurant Density by Cuisine Type
Check out these these maps created by dfkoz using the NYC OpenData “Restaurant Inspection Results” dataset:
To cap off a recent series of posts on New York restaurants (see What’s the Safest Food in New York City? and Heatmap of Restaurants in New York City), I put together heatmaps of restaurant density by cuisine type.
Only one comment before we get started: I have no idea how the DOHMH categorizes restaurants. There are, for example, categories for Chinese, Japanese, Chinese/Japanese, and Asian. With that said, here we go:
American
Asian
Bakery
Caribbean
Chicken
Chinese
Deli
Hamburgers
Indian
Italian
Japanese
Jewish/Kosher
Korean
Latin
Mexican
Pizza
Spanish
Thai
Once again, some thanks are in order. Restaurant addresses and cuisines came from NYC OpenData’s Restaurant Inspection Results. Geocoding the raw addresses was done with Excel/VBA (don’t judge) and Yahoo! PlaceFinder. The heatmaps were generated with the Google Maps API and a JS heatmap library from Patrick Wied.
That’s it for restaurants. For the next few posts, I’m going to turn to a different data set altogether. Suggestions welcome.

One large cheese pizza, but don’t cut it. Right. Just don’t cut it.

Overheard in the grocery store.
I’m sorry, what?

I have been going to sciortinos for over 30 years (including the old perth amboy location, heck i have a ‘save sciortinos’ t-shirt), my parents went there when they were kids, all told its probably about 50 years of sciortinos.
I cant say it enough, this is hands down the best pizza I have ever had.

The best pizza I’ve ever had. By far.
