In NYC area, how many restaurants per capita?

In an analysis Jed Kolko, the chief economist for the real estate website Trulia, found New York City inferior to San Francisco when it comes to eating out.

The West Coast city decisively won the tally, which used U.S. census data to look at the number of restaurants per capita in the 100 largest metropolitan areas in the U.S. San Francisco has 39.3 restaurants per 10,000 households, the analysis shows. But the tri-state area still claimed three of the top four top spots: Fairfield County, Conn. (27.6) was second, Long Island (26.5) was third and the New York/New Jersey metro area (25.3) was fourth. Surprisingly, given New Yorkers’ affinity for the drink, New York City missed a spot in the top 10 drinking cities ranking, losing out to the likes of New Orleans, Milwaukee and Omaha, Neb.
