Singles aren't the only thing you can map in NYC. With so much data in the city that never sleeps, you can really map pretty much anything. So why not our caffeine problem, too? Thank you NYCEDC StatsBee!
In the New York City Economic Development Corporation's latest bit o' blogging they've gone and mapped the density of the city's 1,700 cafes, coffee and tea shops in a nifty map broken down by zip codes. And the results are, well, about what you'd expect:
Manhattan neighborhoods have the highest density of cafés per ZIP code. The East Village ZIP code of 10003 has the highest number of shops with 49, closely followed by Midtown/Hell’s Kitchen (10019) with 47. Midtown East (10017) and SoHo (10012) each have 41, and Tribeca/Chinatown (10013) has 40. The non-Manhattan neighborhoods with the highest concentration of caffeine are Williamsburg (11211) with 31 shops, Glendale (11385) with 32 shops, and Park Slope (11215) with 32 shops.
So yeah, the East Village's One-Triple-Oh-Three ZIP has not only the most pizza joints and liquor licenses (as well as some of the most chains in the city) but also the most coffee shops. Impressive!
Meanwhile there was one super depressing stat hidden beneath the pretty maps. Between Dunkin' Donuts 454 locations (including their Dunkin'/Baskin Robbins) and 272 Starbucks those two chains make up 42.7 percent of NYC's cafes. We hope you like your coffee exactly the same everywhere you go!
