NYC Restaurant Health Rating Visualization

A visualization of the average number of points given to restaurants, aggregated by zipcode, cuisine type, and violation type. Data is from the NYC Open Data portal.

This is a work in progress! Still to-do:

  • Get words to wrap on bubble labels
  • Figure out ordinal D3 scale for the bubbles if possible
  • Make bar chart interactive (so that when you click a bar it will show the distribution of restaurants of that type, and the distribution of violations for restaurants of that type)
  • Make map interactive (so that when you click on a zipcode you can see the distribution of restaurant types and violation types in that zipcode)
  • Make the violations interactive (so that when you click on a bubble you can see the distribution of that violation type across the city, and across different types of cuisine)
  • Smooth D3 transitions on everything!
  • Add axes/scales/legends + labels, and descriptive text (maybe even a title!)
  • Create a slider to allow a person to look at different years or all time
  • Make mobile responsive
