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.

Daily unique visitors of popular sites. Not quite there yet, but compared to the others, Tumblr is almost parabolic. Some tumblrites might not see that as good news though.
Go team!
No! This is #badmath. Let’s do it this way: Tumblr grows from 1M to 6M, and Facebook grows from 100M to 300M. What Tumblr did in 1 year, Facebook basically does in a day.
I can’t believe this has almost a 1000 notes. (H/T to Mike Hudack for also noticing this.)
Why let facts get in the way of a chart?

Crazy!!!
My friend was waiting on the E train platform at 42nd Street and noticed this guy laying on the tracks.
He and some of the other straphangers yelled at him to get off the tracks with no response. Hearing the train approaching, he and another guy jumped down, heaved the guy onto the platform and then lifted themselves out.
THEN, the guy tried to roll BACK over the platform edge! They had to hold him down as the train rolled in.Crazy!
(But awesome in terms of news spreading)
