Abstract
ABSTRACT This study presents empirical evidence that demographic aspects of locations have a significant effect on diners’ restaurant choices. Exploiting New York Times restaurant reviews, I find that black diners have stronger preferences for demographic similarities; in response to a review, a larger share of black residents near a restaurant location leads to an increase in the share of black diners. This result implies that the marginal utility of location varies as a function of diner race.
