Ideation
Food associated with or popularized in New York City. You could spend a full year eating out every night and still never try all of the great food that New York City has to offer. With over 8 million people in New York, you'd expect some great chow and some culinary diversity - and that's exactly what you get. New York manages to bring dishes from all over the world and make them their own.
When I worked for CHIHUO, which is the most popular Chinese language food community in California, I started to collecting these restaurants' locations and comments. Inspired by my Cartography and Branding classes, I used my skills to create this meaningful project.
Whether you're looking for a bite to eat or exceptional cuisine "worth a journey", this map and smartphone applications can always help.
Research
I did research on the essential New York Restaurants by browsing the Internet, checking yelp ranking lists, using newspapers and magazines, and visiting friends. Finally I picked up the most popular 80 restaurants which includes the six Michelin 3-star and nine Michelin 2-star restaurants, best ten Izakaya, outstanding coffee (2016) in NYC etc.
