How we measured this
We counted every open restaurant on Moodap on November 11, 2026. Places closed for good or for now were left out, and so were bars and cafés. “Restaurant” means every place listed as one, from delis, pizza counters and food carts to steakhouses.
The price is the per-person range on each listing, like “$20–30”. It comes from Google Maps, based on what diners report spending. 5,225 of the 9,143 restaurants (57.1%) have one. Pricier places have one more often: 82% of the most expensive ($$$$) restaurants, against 56% of the rest. Older listings that show only “$$” are left out.
“$20 or less” means the whole range is at or under $20 ($1–10, $10–20, $1–20). “Starts at $50” means the range begins at $50 or more ($50–100, $100+). The typical price is the middle of each range ($15 for $10–20; $100 for $100+), and then the middle restaurant of the neighborhood. Prices are as listed, and they change.
Neighborhoods with fewer than 50 restaurants with a price aren’t ranked: Battery Park City, Central Park, Governors Island, Lenox Hill, Lincoln Square, Little Italy, Manhattan Valley, Morningside Heights, NoHo, Randalls Island, Roosevelt Island, Stuyvesant Town, Sugar Hill, Two Bridges, Yorkville.
