Can’t Decide on a Place to Eat for Date Night? I’ve got you covered.

This project is dedicated to all my friends who can never decide on a Restaurant….

  1. Introduction: No need title

Though I’ve been living in the Westside of Harlem for all of my life, finding a place to eat for girlsnight is my worst nightmare. It’s either my friends and I don’t know where to go, the place is too far for my friend’s 10pm curfew, or the food just isn’t what we thought it would taste like. Choosing the perfect restaurant for date night can be best determined by the location, cuisine description, grade, score, and reviews.

  1. Create a map of all of the Restaurants Across the West Side of Harlem (With Cuisines): Map of Restaurants and Cuisines Across the West Side of 125th: (embed onto medium and add source)
  • The first step to finding that perfect restaurant is determining its location in relation to where you reside. Since most of my friends live on the West Side of 125th, we prefer to eat at a restaurant not too far from our current location. Below is a map of all the restaurants that received grades and scores in the Westside of 125th. The emojis on the map represent the different cuisines description.

  • Though I’ve lived in the Westside for 16 years, I was surprised to find that I have a variety of restaurants with different cuisines near my location!

  1. Provide a scoring Legend of what everything means: How are Restaurants Graded and Scored? (embed onto medium and add source)
  • Since 2010, New York City has required restaurants to post letter grades that correspond to scores received from sanitary inspections. Grade cards must be posted where they can easily be seen by people passing by. Knowing the scores and grades of restaurants is a good way of determining the quality and sanitation of the restaurant itself. My girls and I prefer high class restaurants. So nothing below an A for girls night!

Left: Grade

GRADE A: The restaurant is clean, up to code, and free of violations.

GRADE B: The restaurant has some issues that must be fixed.

GRADE C: The restaurant is a public risk and on verge of closure.

Right: Score

0 to 13 = A

14 to 27 = B

28 or more points = C

  1. Zoom into the map. Compare grades and scores each restaurant
  • How many Cuisine Descriptions Received Grades of A, B, C, P

- Considering the sanitary conditions of the restaurants, it is important to consider how many cuisine descriptions received grades between A and P. Nine restaurants that provide hamburgers for its customers received an A, while six restaurants that have chicken on the menu received an B. It seems that the next girls night might be Hamburgers!

  • Took the average of the scores

This graph shows a map of the restaurntotal lottery revenue by State for the 2018 fiscal year. Keep in mind, Alabama, Alaska, Hawaii, Mississippi, Nevada and Utah do not sell lottery tickets.

This map shows markers of the different restaurant locations and cuisines near my proximity (West 125th). Keep in mind that the restaurants displayed are the only restaurants with recorded grades and scores.

Considering that restaurants

Last thing before reserving a seat at a restaurant is to check the reviews. These pictograms show the top rated Hamburger and Chicken spots in the Westside of 125th (see map for reference)
