Midtown

Score Breakdown

About this Neighborhood

Midtown is the strongest card in this set with a 47, and it's all about density of things to do: 58 restaurants, 18 coffee shops, 4 grocery stores, and 5 fitness spots. Foursquare's popular tastes capture the energy, spanning American, Mexican, and Italian restaurants, cafes, coffee shops, a beer garden, and a gay bar. Yelp diners give it a stellar 4.9 average across more than 2,500 reviews, with Hefty Gyros, Tea Cozy, and Midtown Bakery among the favorites. This is a genuine eat-drink-and-walk neighborhood, with bars and cafes signaling real nightlife. The only soft spot is green space, with just 2 parks nearby, so the action is on the streets and inside the venues rather than in the park. For coffee culture and dining variety, this is as good as it gets in this batch.
