More often than not, tipsters, readers, friends and family of Eater ask us: Where should I eat right now? What are the new restaurants? What haven't I heard of? What's everyone talking about? And while the Eater 38 is a crucial resource covering old standbys and neighborhood essentials across the city, it is not a chronicle of the 'it' places of the moment. Thus, we offer the Eater Heatmap, which will change continuously to always highlight where the foodie crowds are flocking to at the moment.

In what's been a slow month for openings, not much in the way of changes. No demotions, but St. Lawrence makes its way onto the list for doing something much more inspired than the usual French Quarter tourist trap concept.

As always, leave your thoughts in the comments or email.
