These Are the 100 Best Restaurants in America
How many have you been to?

OpenTable, the dining reservation service, has just released its list (opens in new tab) of the 100 best restaurants in America for 2016. The company analyzed more than 10 million reviews of more than 24,000 restaurants in all 50 states and the District of Columbia, and came up with this list of "honorees."
New York took top honors, with 13 honorees on the list, followed by California, with 12, and Virginia, with seven. In contrast to other "best of" lists, such as the World's 50 Best Restaurants Awards (opens in new tab), this list is not ranked. And while established restaurants make up the majority of winners, several places that opened in 2016, such as Chicago's Oriole, made the list. American and French cuisines are the most popular, but regional Italian and Middle Eastern specialties also earned recognition.
