  2. 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.

  5. Rank 17957. The Yorkshire Deli

    British Café

    The Yorkshire Deli is a British tea room in Kingston Springs, about half an hour from downtown Nashville, and it commits to the woodland-fairy bit with seasonal blooms everywhere you look. You email ahead to book one of four tea experiences, which come with scones, clotted cream, and finger sandwiches. There's a Mad Hatter tea party for kids, dress-up props included, and Nashville Scene named it a Best Worth-the-Drive Treat.

  13. A wing shop that keeps the menu short by design, Valley Wings puts its energy into texture: the skin cracks, the meat stays juicy, and the honey hot flavor threads sweet and heat together without either one winning. The Phoenix New Times named it Best Chicken Wings in 2024. Three metro Phoenix locations means it's rarely far away, which is convenient, because once you know the order, the craving has a very specific address.

  18. The jollof rice arrives with a fried turkey quarter, crisp-skinned and juicy, habanero sauce on the side. This no-frills West African restaurant in north Phoenix carries a largely Liberian menu with a few wider regional dishes folded in, including egusi soup thick with smoked fish and goat pepper soup that brings genuine heat without quite crossing the line. The room is modest, the cooking is not, and Phoenix is richer for having it.

  41. Rank 18332. Underdog

    Korean Cocktail Bar


  42. Rank 18332. Wild Cumin

    Uyghur

    A live-coal grill, the kind you'd see on a street corner in Xinjiang, sits in the kitchen of this Uyghur restaurant tucked into a Kent strip mall. The lamb skewers come off it cumin-crusted and properly smoky, the sort of thing that makes a food writer ask to see the back of the house. The menu covers the northwest Chinese canon: hand-pulled noodles, flatbreads, big plates of spiced meat.

  45. The server who silently tops off your bowl with consommé from a water pitcher, without being asked, tells you everything about this birrieria. Braised goat has been the one thing on the menu here since forever, and the New York Times named the birria among the best dishes eaten anywhere in the U.S. in 2024. It's a South Chicago institution, cash and early mornings, crumbled chile de árbol on the side.


  46. Rank 18375. Bread Head

    Italian

    The focaccia here bakes thin with a crackling golden crust, and that alone makes Bread Head worth finding on Montana Ave. It's a sandwich shop, counter service, the kind you'd walk to on a Saturday. The mozzarella sandwich landed on the New York Times list of best dishes eaten across the country in 2024, which is a strange thing for a $14 half-sandwich to do, and yet here we are.

  47. Rank 18375. Casa Madai

    Japanese



  48. A prix-fixe dinner party where strangers share a table and, apparently, an extraordinary chocolate cake. The cake alone landed on the New York Times list of top dishes of 2024: dark cocoa crumb, pink-peppercorn buttercream, and the kind of thing that makes you rethink everything you assumed about the format. Communal seating and a tasting menu in the $60 to $75 range make this feel more like a good dinner at a friend's place than a restaurant.

  50. The ham sandwich here landed on the New York Times list of the 26 best dishes eaten across the U.S. in 2024, which is a lot of glory for a poppy-seed roll packed with thick-cut ham, a slice of cheese, yellow mustard, and pickles. This old-school counter spot on Michigan Avenue has been doing exactly this for decades, and the new owners kept the recipe intact. Some things shouldn't be a project.

  55. Rank 18375. Sofreh Cafe

    Persian

    Nasim Alikhani's minimalist Persian cafe on Flatbush is the kind of place you visit for one thing and leave thinking about it for weeks. That thing is the latifeh, a traditional confection the New York Times flagged as one of 2024's top New York dishes: two rounds of soft, rose-scented cream sandwiched between pastry and rolled in salted pistachios. Made fresh constantly so they never turn soggy, each one disappears faster than you planned.

  56. Rank 18375. Sugarpine Drive-In

    Seasonal Dessert

    A roadside soft-serve stand on the Historic Columbia River Highway, Sugarpine has been stopping Gorge-bound traffic for a long time, the building's past lives as a gas station and bait shop still faintly readable in its bones. The Cherries Jubilee Sundae landed on the New York Times list of the year's standout dishes: sour-cherry sauce, almond brittle, cherry almond baba rhum, and vanilla soft-serve doing a lot of quiet work together for nine dollars.

          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.
