These NYC food maps are a fun way to find a meal in New York City. These maps were made by the blog 'Very Small Array' from The Village Voice's restaurant guide.
Of course the NYC food maps aren't completely accurate, but they are still fun to look at. I could see these maps being helpful for a tourist or an out-of-towner. If I went to New York I would be both of those things, which is probably why I like these maps so much. Check out the maps if you want to find your favorite type of food in the Big Apple.
