gov., government-recognized (i.e. included in government records); OSB, other storefront businesses (businesses not primarily focused on selling foods or drinks, but which nevertheless might offer them); UES, Upper East Side (part of Manhattan); N/A, not assessed.
Please see footnotes to Table 1 for definitions, explanations and examples.
Percentages for business categories do not sum to 100 % as they are not mutually exclusive; a street segment may have had any combination of businesses offering foods/drinks.
By ground observation, the numbers (and percentages) of street segments having food/drink-offering ‘OSB of any type’ (‘gov. OSB’ + ‘other OSB’) were the same as those for street segment having just ‘other OSB’: thirty-three (57·9 %) in the Bronx, twelve (36·4 %) in the UES. In other words, food/drink-offering ‘gov. OSB’ were only found on street segments that also had food/drink-offering ‘other OSB’.
Government records included: (i) inspection records from the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, applicable to the business category ‘restaurants’; and (ii) inspection records from the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets, applicable to the business categories ‘food stores’ and ‘food/drink-offering gov. OSB’.
