The Geography of Chinese Restaurants in New York City
Chinese restaurants are ubiquitous across New York City, and they speak to the
character of New York's neighborhoods and the changes to those neighborhoods
over time.
The following is documentation of field work and analysis for a multi-year
project to analyze the geography of Chinese restaurants in New York City. The
bulk of these pages are photographic documentation of field work transects used
to gather longitudinal data and validate restaurant inspection data from the
NYC Department of Mental Health and Hygiene. The data also includes a 110
restaurant random sample.
