Data as of September 30, 2026. Time windows never reach earlier than March 1, 2025, when dense Reddit coverage begins. Ranks are among the 37 neighborhoods with a dashboard. A neighborhood gets one at 25+ tracked and 15+ rated restaurants, and a stat is left out entirely when its sample is too small.
Every licensed food establishment in the NYC DOHMH inspection dataset is placed in a neighborhood by its coordinates (Pediacities NYC neighborhood boundaries, point-in-polygon on NYC DOHMH inspection-record coordinates). "Tracked" restaurants are those with a starved.io profile. Coverage varies a lot between neighborhoods, so compare it before comparing anything else.
Licensed food establishments divided by the neighborhood's land area in square miles (0.629 sq mi here), measured in a New York State Plane projection.
A profiled restaurant with at least 3 unique Reddit, Instagram or article references and at least 5 sentiment-scored opinions. starved score = the site's 'Best' sort: share of positive opinions weighted by the number of unique posts. It measures how much, and how warmly, a place is discussed; it is not a star rating. Citywide, 3,181 restaurants are rated; the median score is 15 and the top-10% cutoff is 42.82.
Distinct r/FoodNYC threads with at least one comment or post about a restaurant in the neighborhood. A thread that names several of its restaurants counts once.
