  48. Rank 14958. Le Monde

    French

    A three-meals-a-day French brasserie on Upper Broadway, close enough to Columbia that the booth next to you is probably arguing philosophy. The room pulls in Francophiles, rumpled academics, and students from everywhere, giving it a genuine Left Bank café energy without anyone having to board a plane. Classic French cooking, a lively corner of the neighborhood, and no particular need to dress up.

  50. Rank 14958. Legasea

    Seafood

    The awards


  51. The tavern name comes from Henry Lee, whose riding so impressed George Washington that he earned the nickname Light Horse Harry. Centuries later, the beautifully restored dining room and street terrace in downtown Jersey City draw a neighborhood crowd for lobster rolls, shrimp po boys, crab cakes, and fried clam baskets, plus burgers when the mood calls for it. A casual American tavern that takes its history seriously but not its dress code.

  60. Rank 14958. Lucia Pasta Bar

    Neapolitan Pizzeria

    Seats at the pasta bar put you close enough to watch the handmade work up close, which is either charming or pressure-inducing depending on your relationship with eye contact. This rustic Italian spot on Bull Street runs wood-fired Neapolitan pizzas alongside handmade pastas, and the squid ink bucatini tends to be the one people mention afterward. Italian wines and cocktails round it out, and the patio is a nice option when Savannah cooperates.

  81. Iced towers of oysters roll through the dining room at a pace that suggests the kitchen has a tide chart. This is a big, loud seafood restaurant a short walk from the Broadway theaters, so the crowd swings from pre-curtain nervous energy to post-curtain relief, and the staff somehow keep both waves moving. Clam chowder, lobster rolls, and fried calamari hold down the menu alongside the raw bar.

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.
