New Yelp Feature Claims JP Eateries are ‘Yuppie’ and ‘Hipster’

Yelp has created a clickable word cloud feature using terms which are most often used to describe restaurants in the neighborhood.

According to Yelp, the Jamaica Plain restaurant scene is “yuppie” and “hipster” friendly, but would you believe it’s "romantic" or particularly fond of bacon?

The popular restaurant review site has created a clickable word cloud feature using terms that most often appear in reviews localized to neighborhoods around major cities.

Under the “Boston” tab, when clicking the words “yuppie” or “hipster,” a faint red dot appears over Jamaica Plain, somewhat unsurprisingly.  However, clicking on the words “bacon” or “romantic” causes the red to appear over JP as well – (perhaps this, too, is unsurprising).
