UPPER WEST SIDE EATS

A restaurant guide,
a neighborhood guide

We provide a geographical approach to finding a restaurant. We start with a street map (we have mapped every street from 59th to 88th on the Upper West Side of New York City) and identified restaurants, bars, specialty shops (like chocolate shops, hmmm, chocolate) and specialty stores (like gourmet foods and wine shops, hmmm, wine.) Not having a detailed map showing every restaurant in the area has troubled us for years.

World Food History
The first restaurant was the Champ d'Oiseau, opening in 1765 in Paris. Meals had been served in taverns, hostelries, inns, and coffeehouses - but this was the first restaurant where one could order off a menu. A. Boulanger, a soup vendor, had a sign above his door that advertised restoratives, or restaurants, referring to the soups and broths available within. The institution took its name from that sign, and "restaurant" now denotes a public eating place in many languages.
