NYC street food prices, reported by the people buying them

OpenPriceMap is a community-built price map for NYC street food, bodegas, and carts. Every price on the map was reported by someone who was actually standing in front of the product — no scraping, no editorial team, no guesswork.

Why it exists

Identical products are priced wildly differently within a few blocks of each other. A bacon egg & cheese that's $4.50 at one cart is $6.99 at the next. A coffee that's $2.00 at one bodega is $3.50 down the street. Until now nobody has mapped this out. OpenPriceMap does.

What you can do here

• Browse NYC prices for bacon egg & cheese, coffee, and halal platter.
• Zoom into a neighborhood like Midtown to find the cheapest spot near you.
• Report a price you just paid — it takes ten seconds and helps the next person shop smarter.
• Read the story behind the project and the 2012 yogurt-pricing incident that started it.

How the data works

Prices are append-only. Once a price is reported it's never overwritten, only added to — so the map is a real history of what things cost, not a single snapshot. Prolific reporters show up on the leaderboard. The core philosophy is simple: helping yourself helps everyone.
