Interesting! Red ones are closed permanently it appears. I would be interested in knowing whether there's a correlation between TNY bad reviews and whether a restaurant is now closed.

I'd be surprised if there wasn't, but only a correlation. The things that get you a bad review are the same things that stop you building up the sort of repeat custom a restaurant needs in order to stay in business.

Now, if you could show there was a causal relationship between a bad review and a restaurant closing, that'd be really interesting.
