Chicago Restaurants at Night

We saw this on Gothamist a few days ago and realized that Urban Spoon also has a mashup for Chicago.

Each of Chicago's 7,895 restaurants are shown as a point on the map. Roll over the map or the names below to highlight a neighborhood. Click the map or the name to see a list of that neighborhood's restaurants. Bon appetit!

Question: Urban Spoon says New York has 23,602 restaurants. Can Chicago really only have 7,895 restaurants? They're including everywhere from Evanston to Portage Park to Pullman. No way there are less than 8,000.

Anyway, it's still kind of a fun map. Click on one of the highlighted neighborhoods and you can zoom in — here, for example, are the restaurants in Lincoln Square.
