How we measured this
We counted every open restaurant on Moodap on November 10, 2026. Places closed for good or for now were left out, and so were bars and cafés. Only restaurants whose hours we can read for the whole week are counted (7,258 restaurants).
A day the listing marks “Closed” counts as a day off. So does a day a full listing leaves out: 68 of the 877 Sunday closings are counted that way. A restaurant closed on two days counts on both. Hours are as listed, and they change.
Neighborhoods with fewer than 50 restaurants counted aren’t ranked: Battery Park City, Central Park, Governors Island, Lincoln Square, Manhattan Valley, NoHo, Randalls Island, Roosevelt Island, Stuyvesant Town, Sugar Hill, Two Bridges, Yorkville.
