  2. Rank 82. Mad Cheese Vegan Cheese

    A vegan cheese shop born out of one founder's frustration that everything else about going plant-based was fine, but the cheese was terrible. She started making her own, and now the Madisonville shop carries nearly thirty varieties, built on cashew, almond, and pea protein bases and ranging from Gouda to ranch dressing. Products also turn up at Findlay Market and Nosh if you're not heading to Bramble Ave.

  6. Rank 82. The Big G Cereal Bowl Band—Jungle Jim’s Fairfield

    Lucky the Leprechaun sings lead, the Trix Rabbit covers keys, and BuzzBee holds down the drums, all from a stage called the S.S. Minnow, inside a grocery store. Jungle Jim's in Fairfield has several animatronic acts scattered through the aisles, but General Mills had this cereal mascot band built specifically for the store, and it draws the biggest crowd, which tells you something about Cincinnati.

  8. Rank 82. The Sticker Shop

    Scratch-and-sniff stickers, Oilies, washi tape, and journals fill this small Wyoming storefront that a mom opened as an antidote to screen fatigue and a reason to sit down with her kids. It's a specialty sticker and stationery shop, the kind of place that triggers an involuntary memory of your childhood sticker album within about thirty seconds of walking in.

Metros

Eat Score

The score comes from the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin star outweighs a listicle. When you sort by what's nearby, distance changes the order, never the score.

      Stay Score

      Four fifths of the score is the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin Key outweighs a listicle. The last fifth is where it is: the ranked places to eat and things to do around it, and how safe the country is. When you sort by what's nearby, distance from you changes the order, never the score.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. The places are 60% of it: the best of what's within reach, weighed by distance. The setting is the other 40%: how life goes in that country (how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are) and what it's like right there (the air, and the weather). If the score looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
