The Top 20 Most Popular Businesses Of All Time Have Been Revealed & Two Are In NYC
New York City is one of the most unique places in the world, filled to the brim with many things that are iconically “New York”–some of those things being its businesses. And whether we’re talking cultural landmarks or culinary hotspots there’s no denying that NYC has certainly made a name for itself in the broader scheme of things, and Yelp is taking notice.
Yelp recently released their 20th iteration of the 20 Most Popular Businesses of All Time, identifying businesses in the U.S. and ranking them based on a number of factors including the total volume and ratings of reviews and photos, and two of them are here in NYC!
First up on the list is the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Us New Yorkers love the Met’s roof garden and Met Date Nights (among many other things), but beyond those two the ranking writes:
The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York is a favorite among Yelp users for its stunning exhibits and breathtaking architecture. Reviewers rave about the beautifully curated galleries and often highlight the friendly and knowledgeable staff.
Ironically, however, on Yelp’s separate ranking of the 20 Most Photographed Businesses of All Time, the Metropolitan Museum of Art is not first on the list but seventh…something we have to say we disagree with. On the flip side, the Met is the only NYC business on this list.
Ranking fourth, New York City’s next business on Yelp’s most popular business list is the Central Park Conservancy. The ranking writes:
Central Park Conservancy is a favorite for its lush landscapes, iconic landmarks, and serene atmosphere. Yelp users love the well-maintained trails and picturesque spots for picnics.
If you ask us, we also love Central Park for its Loeb Boathouse, zoo, Bow Bridge, spring cherry blossoms, and fall foliage–plus, did you know there’s a hidden part of the park that’s full of enchanting waterfalls?!
Rounding out the top ten in the ranking are as follows:
1. The Metropolitan Museum of Art – New York, NY
2. Balboa Park – San Diego, CA
3. The Getty Center – Los Angeles, CA
4. Central Park Conservancy – New York, NY
5. The Huntington – San Marino, CA
6. Chihuly Garden and Glass – Seattle, WA
7. Gangnam Asian BBQ Dining – Las Vegas, NV
8. Howlin’ Ray’s – Los Angeles, CA
9. Kualoa Ranch – Kaneohe, HI
10. Marugame Udon – Honolulu, HI
Looks like we’ll have to pay our friends over in Los Angeles and Las Vegas a visit!
