NEW YORK CITY (PIX11) – Four New York City local businesses are among the top 100 in the country, including a popular bar in Manhattan, according to a new ranking from Yelp.
Book Club Bar, an independent bookstore and bar in the East Village, landed on Yelp's ranking of the most beloved local businesses in the country. Book Club Bar opened in 2019 on East Third Street and recently opened a second location in Bushwick.
Three other New York City spots landed on the list: Unfade x Muze Salon in midtown, Nature Spa in Queens and Prep and Prime nail salon in Queens.
To find the top 100 spots, Yelp considered a business’s total volume of reviews and ratings. Across different business categories, these 100 spots all received reviews that reflect strong personal relationships, an inviting vibe and good value.
Yelp only considered businesses with three or fewer locations, and only two businesses per state in five different categories: food, retail, personal care and wellness, family and lifestyle, and services.
These NYC spots landed on Yelp’s ranking of America’s top 100 local businesses:
- Unfade x Muze Salon, Manhattan
- Book Club Bar, Manhattan
- Natura Spa, Queens
- Prep and Prime, Queens
