Security Report

4.8
Use Caution4.8High Risk

Rick's Map is a well-built restaurant discovery application with an MCP server that exhibits good security practices overall. The server properly uses Zod for input validation, implements rate limiting, and avoids hardcoded credentials. Minor concerns include broad exception handling in error paths and PostHog analytics integration that captures user behavior without explicit privacy controls, but these do not present significant security risks for the stated purpose. Supply chain analysis found 7 known vulnerabilities in dependencies (0 critical, 4 high severity).

🐀 Rick's Map

nycrestaurantweek.app — every NYC Restaurant Week restaurant on one map, plus a pixel rat who rides the actual subway to whichever one you pick.

Rick's Map

Restaurant Week Summer 2026 runs Jul 20 – Sep 6 with 636 participating restaurants. The official site is an endless scroll. This one isn't.

✨ What it does

  • 🗺️ Map — real NYC cartography with the subway lines drawn in
  • 🚇 Rick — walks, Citibikes, cabs, or takes the train to your pick. The track geometry is real, and the subway car gets repainted in the route color
  • 💬 Ask Rick"$30 omakase in brooklyn, open sunday"
  • 🔌 MCP server — the same data, for Claude or any MCP client

🔌 MCP server

No auth, no API key, one line:

claude mcp add --transport http nyc-restaurant-week https://nycrestaurantweek.app/mcp
ToolWhat it does
search_restaurantsFilter by cuisine, borough, neighborhood, price, meal, week, date, or collection. Paginated.
get_restaurantFull detail by slug or name — menu PDF, website, OpenTable link.
check_dateIs Restaurant Week on that day? Which week? Saturday/Sunday rules.
list_filtersEvery filter value, with live participant counts.

🛠️ How it works

No database. All 636 restaurants live in data/restaurants.json (509 KB) and get bundled into the serverless function at build time.

PieceBuilt with
🗺️ MapMapLibre + OpenFreeMap tiles
🚇 SubwayReal MTA geometry in public/subway.json — nearest-station lookup, direct or one-transfer rides, sliced along the true track
🐀 RickHand-drawn pixel art, rendered as SVG rects
🚕 Street legsOSRM, with a straight-line fallback when it times out
💬 ChatHaiku via the AI Gateway, degrading to plain keyword search if the gateway falls over

🏃 Run it

npm install
npm run dev      # site on :3000, MCP at localhost:3000/mcp
npm run scrape   # refresh the restaurant data

📋 Data

From the public program API behind nyctourism.com/restaurant-week — the same JSON their own browser client fetches.
