I am surprised the map for 'hipster' and 'pbr' is not almost identical.

#52This is actually a good way to figure out where to stay when visiting a city. Click tourist and avoid, click hipster and go there. Maybe go to the slightly less red areas for a more low key night. At least that's how you'd have fun if you were a 20-30 something in NYC.
Not many hotels in those areas of NYC.
not as many as in midtown or uptown maybe but williamsburg and the LES have plenty of hotels nowadays.

It's high quality content that people want to share. Some of those people will inevitably share it on their blogs, with links pointing at the site. As a result, Yelp's pagerank improves and they stay ahead of their competition for things like "best restaurants in San Francisco".
A ton (I'd guess 80%+) of Yelp's traffic comes from Google / Bing search. Maintaining / growing that traffic is probably a substantial driver of their decisions.

Indeed. My guess is that people who are using the word "hipster" in a review are using it pejoratively to describe a place that they think hipsters would frequent, whereas the actual hipsters who are mapping out sources of PBR have long since moved on to places that aren't cool yet.

Is PBR still cool? I'd think most of everyone has moved on to craft beer.

#59In London, "cheap" and "pricey" tend to stay around the same sort of area.
