  28. Tucked into the Black Hills a few minutes from Mount Rushmore, K Bar S Lodge is a 96-room lodge-style hotel where a good number of rooms come with private patios or balconies looking out at the trees. A coffee bar handles mornings, a pub handles evenings, and two outdoor hot tubs plus a fire pit handle everything in between. The natural setting draws a steady stream of wedding parties, so weekends here have a certain celebratory hum.

    The awards


  29. Tall pines crowd the parking spots right outside your door, which is either charming or just the Pacific Northwest experience delivered to Montana, depending on your mood. This small, family-run motel keeps things modest: compact rooms, tidy bathrooms, comfortable beds. The owners are genuinely invested in the place, which you notice. Worth calling ahead in winter, when only a handful of rooms stay open.

    The awards


  30. A few blocks from the Yellowstone entrance, this mid-range motel puts you close enough that leaving early for the park doesn't feel like a production. Rooms are spacious by roadside standards, and the breakfast patio with its fire pit softens the drive-in energy considerably. Note that upper floors are stairs-only, the pool is seasonal, and the parking lot crowd is largely in fleece and hiking boots by seven.

  35. A two-story stone fireplace anchors the lobby of this West Yellowstone lodge, a few blocks from the park gate. Rebuilt after a fire using reclaimed wood for handrails, trim, and headboards, the place carries its history without making a fuss about it. Main building rooms run cozier and more polished; motel-side rooms are plainer and pet-friendly. Snowmobiles can ride straight in and out, which tells you everything about the clientele in winter.

    Creative Cocktail Bar

    A cocktail bar in the Mission that looks, from the outside, like it has no particular ambitions. Inside, three bartenders run a tight menu organized by spirit, with drinks that lean creative without requiring a glossary to order. Grapefruit shrubs and smoked pear bitters show up alongside draft beer and wine for anyone not in the mood to commit. The vibe is casual enough that nobody will judge your order either way.

  41. Rank 5850. Atchafalaya

    Cajun & Creole

    The crab cake Benedict comes dressed with a poached egg, hollandaise, and shrimp sauce Américaine, which is either a brunch plate or a personal statement. This cozy Creole restaurant in the Irish Channel has been a neighborhood fixture forever, drawing regulars and out-of-towners equally for a contemporary spin on Louisiana cooking. The room buzzes, the menu leans Southern without being a museum about it, and the kitchen knows exactly what it's doing.

  51. Rank 5850. Boia De

    Contemporary Italian

    A neon-pink exclamation mark glows above the door of this Michelin-starred contemporary Italian restaurant, wedged between a laundromat and a medical center in Buena Vista. The room is small and forest-green, and the staff seem to be enjoying themselves as much as anyone eating there. The menu calls itself Italian, then wanders somewhere more interesting, with house-made pastas and combinations that raise an eyebrow before they make total sense.

  57. The Standing Room, a subterranean lounge tucked under the Arts District, is the reason to come to this Los Angeles outpost of the New York cocktail institution. Death & Co keeps its speakeasy bones, dark and deliberately moody, while the menu organizes its 25 cocktails by personality rather than spirit, which is either very LA or very useful depending on your mood. Californian wines and global beers round things out for anyone who finds the taxonomy exhausting.

  58. Rank 5850. dokidoki

    Japanese

    A standing bar modeled on the Japanese tachinomi tradition, which means you're on your feet, shoulder to shoulder, and the whole room is already talking. Low-alcohol cocktails, sake, and shochu anchor the drinks list, with classics quietly reinterpreted through Japanese and Latin ingredients. The two bartenders behind the counter bring serious cocktail-bar pedigree to a room that wears it lightly, and the small bites fold Japanese technique into Puerto Rican and Salvadoran flavors.

  63. Rank 5850. Funke

    Italian

    Evan Funke's eponymous Italian restaurant occupies a three-story art deco building in Beverly Hills, where a glassed-in room lets you watch pasta being made by hand before it reaches your table. Red leather booths, stone tables, and tall ceilings set a tone that takes itself seriously without taking the fun out of dinner. The menu moves through handmade pasta and wood-fired dishes, the kind of Italian cooking where focaccia alone gets its own moment.

  68. Rank 5850. Hellbender

    Mexican

    The Jell-O of the day changes, but the wobbly whimsy is a constant at this Ridgewood bar turned Mexican restaurant from chef Yara Herrera. Reggaeton and mariachi set the mood while the menu moves between bar snacks and fine-dining technique, the same kitchen handling both with ease. The New York Times named it among New York's best new restaurants in 2025, which feels about right for a place this hard to categorize.

  72. Rank 5850. Iggy's Bar

    Dive Bar

    Pool tables, darts, foosball, and enough televisions to catch the Premier League and a Cleveland Browns meltdown simultaneously. Iggy's is a dive bar on Madison Avenue where the beer list does most of the heavy lifting, though the cocktail menu holds its own and bartenders will mix you something proper when the room quiets down. Themed specials rotate through the week, keeping the regulars from getting too comfortable with the menu.

  78. A two-dozen-seat Thai tapas room in Brookline Village where the menu reads like a love letter to northern Bangkok filtered through a genuinely curious kitchen. Small plates and creative cocktails share equal billing, the Michelin Bib Gourmand crowd sitting close enough to see what everyone else ordered. The New York Times and Boston Magazine have both circled it, which tracks for a spot this compact running this confidently.

          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.
