How Moodap matches, what it covers, and what you need to get started.

What are the best things to do in NYC tonight?

It depends on the plan. Moodap asks eight quick questions about where and when you want to go, what kind of place, the setting, who is coming, the energy, and the budget, then suggests restaurants, bars, cafes, and activities across 45 Manhattan neighborhoods that fit.

Where should I eat in NYC right now?

Take the quiz and choose food as the category, then pick a cuisine and budget. You can also browse the Food category or a neighborhood page if you already know the area.

How do I find the best bars near me in Manhattan?

Choose your neighborhood in the quiz, or the nearby option, which asks for your location only when you tap it. Then pick drinks and the kind of bar you want. The Drinks & Nightlife category and each neighborhood page list bars too.

What is Moodap and how does it work?

Moodap is a free way to decide where to go in New York City. You answer eight quick questions about the outing, and Moodap compares your answers with the venues in its NYC catalog to suggest places that fit. You can change any answer when you see the results.

How is Moodap different from Yelp or Google Maps?

Review and map apps show long lists sorted by rating or distance. Moodap starts with what you want from this particular outing and narrows the options for you, so there is less scrolling before you pick.

How do I find a date night spot in NYC?

In the quiz, choose Date / Duo for the group and a quieter energy, then set your budget. You can also browse the Date Night category for romantic and cozy places across Manhattan.

Do I need to download an app or create an account?

No. Moodap works in the browser on any device, and you can take the quiz without an account. An account is only needed to save places and plans.
