Restaurants in Peace

It's not just early 2000s aesthetics (I wouldn't know specifically about funeral homes, I didn't visit those pages then, nor do I now, it's the one line of business when I still…

Cool website. Reminds me a lot of the early golden years of the internet

I knew other people felt the same way! There was this coffee shop I always hanged out, which recently "permanently closed" as the owner died RIP. It is really hard to explain…

Really good idea It would be nice if people could add restaurants, I guess you are worried that that would require too much moderation?

How can you add a new place? If you want to avoid spam you could maybe ask for a Yelp link or something which you could scrape. There's plenty of really good restaurants which…

Didn't see a way to add new ones... RIP Snacky. Oh how I loved my weekly pilgrimage to you. The spice in the air, the steam rising off the Bibim Bop, and the warm glow of anime…

I'm confused by the cities. Most of the restaurants under San Jose weren't in San Jose. And many of those were in San Francisco. But there's a San Francisco section.

Sorry, you're right! My geo math is a bit wrong, especially for cities that are nearby i.e. SF and San Jose (vs New York) I'll definitely investigate.

When a restaurant closes that is functionally identical to every other franchisee, like an Applebees, Olive Garden, Burger King, etc., it doesn't need a remembrance because you…

info@restaurants.rip to add a new place right now, but I’ll definitely add a “submit” form today, thank you! I’m also in NYC, so I’d love to hear what you find.

Too bad they don't have Toronto listed. There was a place called Il Gato Nero on College St that had been in a couple locations in the area for about 50 years. The family has a…

Awesome stories and writing that gave me intense second-hand nostalgia if that makes sense. I'm always pleasantly surprised to read about places I'm familiar with on HN. Thank…

I would love to see one where somebody has added a remembrance, but all the restaurants I click on are empty.

Any chance to add a map? I ate a great pasta in NYC when visiting with my girlfriend (2018=. Two years later (January 2020) I went to the same place with my dad and he liked it…

How were they able to get this data? I’ve had lots of similar idea bur no idea on how I can get all data on restaurants in my city.

OpenStreetMap is for currently existing features (or currently existing remains, ruins can be mapped). So if for example sign remains, it can be mapped. But once fully gone: it…

That’s really interesting to learn, thanks. If it were up to me, I’d recommend keeping it with a flag that notes it as closed, rather than deleting it. (Just as you can mark a…

As long as there are traces - it can be kept `disused:amenity=restaurant` rather than `amenity=restaurant` etc. But once fully gone it should be removed - this way OSM data can…

It would be cool to have a feature like that, similar to how you could see previous years in Street View. Closed restaurants are preserved on Yelp, maybe there might be a way to…

Reminds me of https://killedbygoogle.com/ Makes me wonder. Is there a market for something like Upvoty (to gauge interested) + Kickstarter (to get commitment) for dead projects?…
