Mapping Iconic NYC Sandwiches: scrapping, geocoding, and sharing a map of the NYT Top 57 Sandwiches

March 26 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm

Virtual Event Virtual Event
Free

Sandwiches are my passion. When the New York Times unveiled its list of 57 sandwiches that define New York City, I wanted to try them all. The problem: the NYT list only provides sandwich names and restaurant addresses. Determining if I’m near an iconic sandwich requires scrolling, reading, and flipping between the list and Google Maps. The solution: I need a sandwich map!

In this workshop, we will develop a shareable, interactive, web-based sandwich map using basic Python coding, Google Maps, and GitHub pages.
