The Best Places to Eat and Stay in the United States

  1. Rank 10086. Letena

    Ethiopian

    Lentil samosas so popular they now ship frozen from this Columbia Heights Ethiopian cafe tell you something about how this place operates. The injera-lined platters arrive loaded with lamb wat that falls apart on contact, fiery red lentils, and earthy beets doing the cooling work. The vegetarian spread holds its own against anything on the menu with meat in it, which is saying something.

  9. Rank 10086. Martha Dear

    Greek Pizzeria

    A sliver of a room on Mt. Pleasant Street where the bar fills up fast and wood-oven pizzas share the menu with Greek-leaning small plates. The team came up through Tail Up Goat, and the cooking has that same instinct for herbs, brightness, and a little crunch. Pizzas run from a classic red-sauce cheese to halloumi-and-squash combinations that have no business being as compelling as they are. Bring an appetite for the whole menu.

  14. Rank 10086. Namak

    Mediterranean

    Moroccan tile and cozy alcoves set the mood at this upscale-casual Mediterranean and Persian restaurant in Adams Morgan. The kitchen draws from Greek, North African, Turkish, and Persian traditions without treating any of them as fixed texts, so gigante beans might arrive tossed in tahini and sumac instead of the expected tomato. Braised lamb shoulder and walnut-marinated kebabs anchor the menu, and the baked rice pudding with saffron syrup lands as a genuine closer.




  15. Rank 10086. Noble Hops

    Contemporary Gastropub

    A 30-foot mesquite bar that stretches indoors and out sets the tone at this Oro Valley gastropub. The patio comes rigged with misters, a gas fire pit, and heaters, so the Santa Catalina views are on offer year-round. Rotating taps keep the beer side moving, and the kitchen leans into crowd-pleasing pub food. Comfortable in the way a place is when it's thought through rather than just decorated.

  22. Rank 10086. Piazza Gavi

    Italian

    Exposed brick, wooden beams, white tablecloths, and soft lighting put this Foothills Italian restaurant somewhere between a neighborhood trattoria and a special-occasion dinner, which seems to suit everyone just fine. The enclosed patio runs quieter than the main room if you want to actually hear each other. The menu leans toward the kind of stuffed-and-sauced Italian-American comfort food that makes you immediately loosen your belt.

  29. Rank 10086. Revel

    Wine Bar

    A black-and-white mural anchors the room at this dim, cozy wine bar on Ninth Street, where the vibe leans more European side street than desert Southwest. The wine list pulls from around the world, the staff will happily talk you through it, and the meat and cheese boards give you something to do with your hands while they do. The kind of place you walk into for one glass and leave two hours later.

  37. Rank 10086. Sidecar

    Cocktail Bar

    A backlit bar lined with spirits sets the mood at this mid-century modern cocktail bar tucked into Broadway Village. The namesake sidecar anchors the menu, but the house originals are where things get interesting, and the kitchen next door at Falora handles food duty. Warm wood, polished concrete, and a mix of high-tops and booths make it cozy without trying too hard.

  39. Rank 10086. Sky Bar

    Cocktail Bar

    Telescopes on the patio, solar panels on the roof, and a ginger bitters program that takes itself seriously: Sky Bar is an astronomy-themed bar on Fourth Avenue that lets the night sky do the decorating. The kitchen is Brooklyn Pizza Company next door, so you're eating well. Day drinkers can pull breakfast calzones and pastries into the rotation, which is a fine way to study the cosmos before dark.

  41. Rank 10086. Southeast Impression

    Southeast Asian

    A strip mall in Fairfax with walls of actual greenery sets the scene for this casual Southeast Asian restaurant covering Thai, Malaysian, and Singaporean ground with real range. Chili crab comes with soft-shells in a red sauce and sweet buns for mopping, and a fried rice pyramid topped with lump crab closes the loop nicely. The pandan castella cake keeps dessert from being an afterthought.

  51. Rank 10086. The Cork Tucson

    Steakhouse

    Adobe fireplaces, dark wood beams, and exposed brick set the mood at this old-school steakhouse that's been around forever in Tucson's east side. The menu runs from steakhouse classics into stranger territory, kangaroo tenderloin among them, and the surf and turf gets a hit of Tajín that signals exactly where you are. Classic martinis arrive loaded with ice chips, and happy hour has clearly had regulars for decades.

  52. Picnic tables under string lights, bocce ball on the lawn, and the Santa Catalinas sitting out there like they're part of the decor. This is a casual, all-outdoor spot inside a native botanical garden, the kind of place where kids vanish into a gemstone dig pit and adults happily let them. The menu leans comfort food, with scoop fries and Irish nachos doing the heavy lifting.

  53. Rank 10086. The Monica

    Mexican

    String lights turn a downtown alley into a courtyard, and that outdoor patio is reason enough to seek this place out on a warm Tucson evening. The Monica is a casual Mexican restaurant where the kitchen plays with familiar forms, running tamale dough through a eggs Benedict riff that shouldn't work as well as it does. The room reads urban but unfussy, the kind of spot that pulls in a mixed downtown crowd without trying too hard.

          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.
