What Happened Every Day

When Americans go to restaurants during a day ?

The picture indicates a interesting phenomenon that most American dining out at night, even midnight. This is especially different from Chinese food culture. But this result explains the common food & restaurant we mentioned last section. Since the most common food & restaurants type is bar, it make sense that the most common time for dining is at night. And in this picture you could also see that there is little difference among days from Sunday to Monday at a specific time.


The daily life in restaurants.

1. In the morning. “Sushi bars”, “Diners”, “Specialty food”, “Salad”, “Asian Fusion” and “Chicken Wings” are the popular selections for American.
2. In the afternoon. , “Breweries”, “Latin American”, ”Food Delivery Services”, “Noodles”, “Tea rooms”, “British”, “Dim Sum” are preferred. Here we can easily pick out “Food Delivery Services”. Could it be an explanation to the low attendance volume in the afternoon in the bar chart presented above? Maybe it could. And we can also get the point that Chinese food culture does influence that of American, such as the “Noodles”, “Tea rooms”, “Dim Sum”.
3. At night. Bars still occupies the top two, or even more. Here we could also see the common food & restaurant “Food trucks”, “Shaved Ice”, “Chocolatier & shops”, “cupcakes” as we have mentioned before.
