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 (1.709 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.
Distinct articles (by URL) from food media that discuss a restaurant in the neighborhood, dated by publication.
Distinct Instagram accounts that posted about a restaurant in the neighborhood.
Current-edition Michelin Guide (stars, Bib Gourmand, Green Star) and New York Times 100 Best awards, matched to restaurants by Google Places ID. Starved.io is not affiliated with either.
Each restaurant counts once, under its most-mentioned cuisine tag. Shares are out of tracked restaurants with a cuisine tag, here and citywide. A ratio above 1× means the cuisine is more common here than across the city.
