  9. Tucked into the ground floor of the Drake hotel in Oak Brook, COA is a Spanish restaurant where the kitchen splits its attention between tapas, paella, and prime cuts for anyone who wandered in expecting a steakhouse. The vibe shifts noticeably after dark, when the music climbs, the cocktails multiply, and the dining room starts feeling more like a party someone forgot to end.

  15. Barrels and wine bottles line the walls here, and the shop and tasting bar out front make clear that wine is the whole point. Cooper's Hawk is a full-service American restaurant with a globally roaming menu, the kind of place suburban date-nighters discover and then return to every few weeks. The food swings from Asian-inflected starters to churrasco and braised short ribs, with pasta filling the middle ground for anyone who can't decide.

  18. Afternoon tea inside the Boston Public Library, served in a courtyard ringed by marble arcades and a fountain that makes the city feel very far away. Scones, clotted cream, and a curated tea list arrive with the kind of unhurried service that suits the setting. It draws a pleasingly mixed crowd of locals playing tourist for an afternoon and actual tourists doing the same thing, which makes it hard to feel self-conscious.

    The awards


  19. Coastal American food inside a Galleria shopping mall is a proposition that sounds like a dare, but the cocktail list alone gives this casual dinner spot some credibility. The signature Old Fashioned and an espresso martini anchor a wide beverage menu, and the room catches the sunset at exactly the right angle. Boutique retail is a few steps away, which explains the after-shopping crowd settling in for something more than a snack.

  35. There's an enigmatic clock mounted across from the bar that has puzzled guests for decades, and the staff aren't telling. Dobson's is a French restaurant with old-school gravitas, the kind of place where business lunches stretch longer than planned and the mussel bisque is treated as a point of civic pride. Duck à l'orange and grilled lamb chops round out a menu that hasn't chased trends and seems quietly satisfied about it.

  40. Dress code enforced, portions sized for sharing, and a dining room that leans into Old World Spanish formality with enough commitment to make Newark feel briefly far away. This is a long-running Spanish restaurant where seafood paella and shellfish casserole anchor a menu built around generous plates of fresh seafood and steak. The kind of place where the garlic shrimp arrives without irony and regulars know better than to show up in sneakers.

  60. Rank 11557. Eventide Fenway

    New England Seafood

    The lobster roll comes on a bao bun, which tells you pretty much everything about what this casual seafood spot near Fenway is up to. Fresh shellfish arrives daily, and the kitchen folds in Asian flavors in ways that feel considered rather than gimmicky. Oysters finished with kimchi ice are a recurring reason to show up. It draws a crowd before and after games, but the food holds up without the excuse.

  95. Rank 11557. Grange

    American

    High ceilings and a curved shelf of stacked liquor bottles set the scene at Grange, the farm-focused American restaurant inside the Citizen Hotel. Wood tables, orange leather banquettes, and a lively bar crowd make it feel less like a hotel dining room and more like a place people actually choose. The menu leans rustic and seasonal, the kind of cooking Sacramento's agricultural sprawl makes it hard to argue with.

      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.
