## About Moodap

Moodap (moodap.com) is a free venue discovery platform for New York City. Founded in 2026, it covers 28,000+ restaurants, bars, cafes, entertainment venues, and activities across 43 Manhattan neighborhoods. The platform uses a 7-question mood-based quiz to match users to their perfect venue in 25 seconds.

Unlike review aggregators (Yelp, Google Maps), Moodap takes a mood-first approach: instead of showing hundreds of results sorted by rating, it asks what you're in the mood for and returns one optimal match with insider tips and directions.

## Data Model

Each venue in Moodap's database includes:
- **Identity**: name, slug, category, subcategory
- **Location**: address, latitude, longitude, neighborhood
- **Contact**: phone, website
- **Ratings**: aggregate rating (1-5), review count, price level (1-4)
- **Hours**: structured opening hours by day of week
- **Discovery**: vibe tags (e.g., "romantic", "chill", "lively"), best-for-time (breakfast, brunch, dinner, late-night), group size recommendations, indoor/outdoor, best-for occasions
- **Insider Content**: insider tips, signature items, descriptions
- **Media**: photos, video reviews
