The Best Places in the United States

Eat + Drink + Do, change section
  1. A lobster shack on a Maine island with no indoor plumbing and, somehow, a blueberry bread pudding that the New York Times put on its short list of the year's best desserts in the country. Wild blueberries from up the coast, white chocolate chips tucked in without apology, and the obligatory vanilla custard sauce. The rest of the menu operates as expected: lobster rolls, saltwater air, paper plates. The dessert is the plot twist.

  4. Nine seats, seventeen courses, and Johnny Cash on the speakers: No Relation is a sushi omakase tucked inside the South End's tropical bar Shore Leave, which you pass through to get here. The team behind it takes the fish seriously, mapping each source on the wall, while keeping the room loose enough that smiling-cat sake cups feel completely right. A caviar supplement exists for those who want to go further.

  6. The sourdough under the roasted chicken isn't an afterthought; it sits in the pan and drinks up every drop of stock and butter until it becomes the point. Nancy Silverton's Georgetown Italian restaurant is a Stephen Starr co-production that landed as a full-blown scene, the kind where former presidents apparently just show up for dinner. The room runs loud and the pastas are homey, but the chicken alla diavola is the dish people are still talking about.

  18. Rank 14720. Saigon Babylon

    Modern Vietnamese

    Five floors above Central Square, this modern Vietnamese restaurant rewards the climb with vintage furniture the team refurbished themselves and a room that feels like someone's very stylish living room went rogue. The cooking runs to turmeric rice with squab and lemongrass carpaccio, and the cocktail list has a gin drink with salted lime and tingly pepper that earns its place on the bill.

  21. Rank 14720. Table

    Italian

    A server once warned a full room of strangers, "It's a marathon, not a sprint," and they were not wrong. This tiny North End prix-fixe seats guests at two long communal tables for six courses of Italian comfort, the kind that leans into abundance rather than elegance. Staff T-shirts reading "Come hungry, be friendly" set the tone before the focaccia even lands.

  51. Rank 14775. Agora

    Mediterranean

    Mosaic lanterns cut through the Tysons corporate blur the moment you walk in, and the room stays loud and kinetic from there. Agora is a lively Mediterranean restaurant where mezze plates arrive fast and tables turn on a two-hour clock, which somehow adds to the fun rather than the stress. The Ottoman rice, fragrant with currants and crowned with fried shallots, tends to be the dish people talk about on the way to the car.

      Four fifths of the score is the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin Key outweighs a listicle.

          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.
