A Business Insider-SurveyMonkey Audience poll asked New Yorkers to pick which neighborhoods has the best food, the best bars, and the most attractive people, among many other things.
A few months ago, we ran a poll that asked Americans what they thought of other states - which were the drunkest, hottest, and had the silliest accents.
Since New Yorkers came up as rudest last time we asked, we figured they would be blunt with us, so we tried the whole thing over again asking about
The poll was carried out using SurveyMonkey's Audience feature, which was more accurate predicting the 2012 election than numerous traditional pollsters.
We asked 414
Here's what we found:
The Upper East Side has the most Yuppies. Solid performance from Park Slope though.

By far one of the most contested issues in the entire city of New York, we now have statistical evidence that, yes, the East Village does have the best bars.

A second outstandingly contested question, with a win by the slimmest of margins Greenwich Village takes it over Midtown. The Halal Guys are crying somewhere, but Two Brothers must be quite pleased.
This will also be the final time Little Italy makes a showing on the map in any category.

And in the opposite-of-coveted Worst Food catgory, known food desert The Financial District takes the "crown."

I have no idea why we even bothered asking this question. Solid showing from Flushing though.

I don't know why we asked this either.

But why does Midtown have the worst tourists? Well apparently it's because Midtown also has the best architecture.

The survey found that people thought Harlem had changed the most over the past fifteen years. Williamsburg and Meatpacking get honorable mentions.

People thought Harlem had also improved the most. Other success stories include Meatpacking, Hell's Kitchen, and almost all of Brooklyn.

Lots of great scenery in New York. Besides the usual suspects, you can get awesome views from Brooklyn Heights.

The Upper East Side: scientifically proven to be overrated. Thank you for winning a bet for me, New York.

When it comes to underrated neighborhoods, we get a ton of contenders. Inwood takes the top spot, but also keep an eye on Harlem, Astoria, Redhook and the Lower East Side.
