New Yorkers will travel for good food and some neighborhoods just have the best restaurants for certain cuisines worth hopping on the train for. In fact, 85 percent of reservations made are by people who live in a different zip code, according to Seated, a restaurant discovery app that curates local restaurant reservations and offers rewards on meals.
RECOMMENDED: The 50 best restaurants in NYC right now
The app released its data this month, showing the top cuisines New Yorkers like to eat in each neighborhood, NYC's most popular restaurants and how New Yorkers make reservations.
Based on reservations made on the app, New York City's most popular restaurant for breakfast is Maman in NoMad; for brunch, Rosa Mexicano in Union Square; for lunch, Maman in Tribeca; for dinner, Rosa Mexicano at Lincoln Center; and for delivery, Wanisa Home Kitchen in Brooklyn.
Interestingly, 90 percent of bookings are for indoor dining as opposed to 10 percent for outdoor dining, which is a major shift from how things have been for two years.
