"Yelp's 2024 Top 100 Restaurants: NYC Snub, California Dominance, and Regional Standouts"

Yelp's annual list of the top 100 restaurants in the U.S. for 2024 features only one NYC eatery, CHILI, ranking at number 47, with California and the Sun Belt dominating the list. Tumerico, a vegan and vegetarian restaurant in Tucson, Ariz., claimed the top spot. The list, curated by Yelp's community managers, focuses on local hidden gems and affordable dining experiences, with over 85% of the restaurants offering meals for less than $30 per person. This comes as Time Out named New York the best city in the world for 2024, despite the city's limited representation on Yelp's list.
