Hey all, you enjoyed my Feb post here: https://www.reddit.com/r/FoodNYC/comments/1je392i/i_created_a_custom_google_map_with_this/

Here's this sub's top restaurants (by upvotes) for March, plotted on a custom Google Map. I'll be doing this on a monthly basis, let me know what you think! I limited it to the top 25 so it's not too cluttered.

Each marker includes restaurant info and a link to the original reddit post.

Can I see this in the Google Maps app?

Yes! I'll be updating the markers monthly so you'll always see the latest month's recs.

  1. Follow this link here: https://goo.gl/maps/MMSZ6aDQnNfqaDkX9?g_st=ac
  2. Use the button in the upper right to sign in (For some reason the sign in button UI is busted and shows as a grey square box for me).

What restaurants are included?

I'm pulling this data the top posts of the last month and filtering to only review posts that mention a single restaurant. I've filtered out all the food trip reports and aggregate lists since the data is a little noisy.

You can see my script here: https://github.com/tonyjhuang/reddit-to-gmap

Where can I find previous months' recs?

Archive map with all previous months is here: https://goo.gl/maps/z3smKhB1RTo1bZxy6?g_st=ac

Why are some of these restaurants the same from last time?

Okay I technically created "February"s list in the middle of March so it includes posts from Feb 17 – Mar 17. Starting next month, each post will use an entirely new data set so there's no overlap.
