Have you ever wondered what kind of cuisine dominates the streets of New York City? From classic New York-style pizza to spicy Korean BBQ, the city’s diverse neighborhoods are a foodie’s paradise. But have you ever stopped to think about which cuisines reign supreme in each zip code?
One intrepid Redditor took it upon themselves to find out, using a publicly available dataset of restaurant inspections from over 30,000 restaurants in NYC. The result is a fascinating visualization of the most common restaurant cuisines in NYC, broken down by zip code.
Using Python, Plotly, and Figma, the creator of the visualization brought the data to life in a series of interactive charts. From the predominance of Chinese food in Chinatown to the proliferation of Italian eateries in Little Italy, the visualization is a love letter to the city’s culinary diversity.
But it’s not just a fun exercise in data visualization – it also reveals some interesting trends and patterns in the city’s food scene. For example, which cuisines are most popular in which neighborhoods? How do food trends vary across different parts of the city?
Whether you’re a foodie, a data nerd, or just a curious New Yorker, this visualization is a must-see. So go ahead, dig in, and explore the flavors of NYC like never before.
