"But ask any weary gastronaut about the single most disruptive restaurant trend over the past decade or so, and they’ll give you a succinct, one-sentence answer. It’s the noise"

He recommends some potentially quiet places:

• Atera 77 Worth St, New York, NY 10013
• Eleven Madison Park 11 Madison Ave, New York, NY 10010
• Per se 10 Columbus Cir, New York, NY 10019

Would be sensible to contact food critics like Adam Platt who complain about noisy restaurants once the website is ready.

• Golden Chariot Bakery, 3308 Balboa Street

Look at how nice this GeoJSON data looks. @davidmerfield I argue we should do filtering based on GeoJSON data immediately, skipping the ad hoc location filtering I started yesterday.

This is probably a longshot, but would be nice to come up with lounge/date-type locations that were low or no noise. Even just low volume would go a long way.

There are 5 locations in Manhattan alone!

• 220 E 14th St, New York, NY 10003 (verified)
• 118 Eldridge St, New York, NY 10002 (verified)
• 310 Bedford Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11211 (unverified, potentially our first Brooklyn location)

• trader's express deli, beaver st. near wall st bull
  • there seem to be a lot of quiet places near wall st; we need to spend a day wandering around reading and drinking black coffee and we'll likely be able to get most of them
• cafe 82 on broadway, diner
  • I thought I heard very faint music here--I'll go again to make sure it's queit

I quite like Wremena by Roman Gornitsky

http://typefaces.temporarystate.net/preview/Wremena

It's public domain.

This could be useful when traveling, and even more useful when working on the road.

I have several Amsterdam and Utrecht locations I could add. Should they just be added to data.yml or should it be restructured to support cities?

I can make a PR for that, but won't take the effort if you prefer to keep this NYC specific.
