  7. Peanut milk in your latte is either a bold call or an obvious one, depending on how you feel about Charleston. This counter-service cafe on Meeting Street leans casual: pastries, sandwiches, salads, and a small market stocked with cheese, wine, and specialty goods worth a slow browse. The patio is easy to settle into. Caviar is, in fact, on the menu if the morning calls for it. Two other downtown locations run the same show.

  20. Rank 12798. Bigham Tavern

    American

    A neighborhood wing-and-beer bar on Mount Washington where game day is less an event than a baseline condition. The patio fills up when the weather cooperates, and the crowd skews toward regulars who know the beer list without looking. The wings are the reason people make the trip up from other parts of Pittsburgh, and the pub menu around them is solid enough that nobody's leaving hungry.

  36. Weekend lines snake out the door of this casual taco-and-burrito cantina in NoDa, Charlotte's arts-district neighborhood, which says most of what you need to know. The move is a fish taco, beer-battered or blackened, stuffed past any reasonable architectural limit with tuna, mahi mahi, shrimp, or salmon. Steak and chicken show up for anyone not in a seafood mood, and taco bowls handle the vegetarians without making them feel like an afterthought.

  51. The brick building alone tells you Ybor City's story, and Carmine's Italian restaurant leans into all of it: cigar-factory heritage, a rowdy bar, vintage décor, and the particular hum of a room that has seen several generations of regulars. Longtime locals who never bother with a menu mix with first-timers trying to figure out the neighborhood. Come hungry for red-sauce Italian and comfortable with a little noise.

  72. A tidal creek runs right alongside the patio, which tells you most of what you need to know about the vibe. Cuda Co. is a casual seafood market and restaurant in one: you can eat fried fish and raw bar snacks outside, then pick up something fresh to cook at home. The indoor seating is limited, so the outdoor tables fill up fast when the weather cooperates. A sister spot next door handles drinks and cold preparations like crudo and ceviche.

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.
