🐀 Rick's Map
nycrestaurantweek.app — every NYC Restaurant Week restaurant on one map, plus a pixel rat who rides the actual subway to whichever one you pick.
[Rick's Map]
Restaurant Week Summer 2026 runs Jul 20 – Sep 6 with 636 participating restaurants. The official site is an endless scroll. This one isn't.
✨ What it does
- 🗺️ Map — real NYC cartography with the subway lines drawn in
- 🚇 Rick — walks, Citibikes, cabs, or takes the train to your pick. The track geometry is real, and the subway car gets repainted in the route color
- 💬 Ask Rick — "$30 omakase in brooklyn, open sunday"
- 🔌 MCP server — the same data, for Claude or any MCP client

🛠️ How it works
No database. All 636 restaurants live in data/restaurants.json (509 KB) and get bundled into the serverless function at build time.
