What is this site?
NewYorkTurkEats is a fan-made, unofficial directory of every restaurant featured by NewYorkTurk (Ertan Bek), the New York City content creator known for surprising struggling, family-run restaurants with glowing, incognito reviews. This site exists to make that growing list easy to browse, search, and map. We love what he has done for the restaurant community and want to give his fans a chance to try all the places he's been!
It is not run by, affiliated with, or endorsed by NewYorkTurk. Think of it as a companion index for fans who want to find a restaurant they saw in a video, see what's nearby on the map, or track how the list has grown over time.
