Next time you have a hankering for some Nigerian food, skip the Zagat and just consult these handy maps from very small array. Based on the Village Voice restaurants guide, the website compiled the most common type of restaurant based on zip code and came up with these maps. Some neighborhoods are a no-brainer (Chinese in Chinatown, Greek in Astoria, Dominican in Washington Heights), but there were a few surprises. Who knew how many Mexican Sandwiches there were in Sunset Park? Or that there is a Sri Lankan enclave in the otherwise culinary dead zone of Staten Island? At least we know we can always hit up Bed-Stuy if we're in the mood for African, American, Italian, Jamaican or Sandwiches. Or is that just some weird fusion place?
