Yelp's Top Ten Restaurants of 2010

We thought that perhaps maybe the year-end listicles would end now that 2010 is officially over, but no: Yelp presents their list of the top ten reviewed restaurants nationally and in some of their top cities (Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York, Chicago). By using some sort of formula involving "how many people in the Yelp community have bookmarked the business in 2010, combined with average star rating, total review count, and total checkins," they determined that Ippudo NY in New York is the top restaurant in America. The rest are in California; we guess people are more Yelp-obsessed there?
