  1. Rank 1. Hey Kiddo

    Korean Cocktail Bar

    A cocktail lounge called Ok Yeah tucked into the back tells you everything about the vibe here. Hey Kiddo is a playful, Asian-inflected restaurant and bar on the third floor of a Tennyson Street building, with a rooftop deck most people don't find on the first visit. The menu runs on shareable plates, and the team behind it earned a James Beard Outstanding Restaurateur semifinalist nod. The room skews young and loud in the best way.

  4. Rank 4. Glo Noodle House

    Japanese Noodle Shop

    The strip mall on 38th Ave gives nothing away, but inside this ramen shop, charcoal walls, dark wood, and a ceiling full of mismatched colored lanterns set a tone the exterior has no interest in hinting at. The menu runs from miso bacon broth to brothless noodles to a spice-forward bowl called Death Wish, which commits to the bit. The Michelin Guide has given it a Bib Gourmand, and the room fills up fast enough to make that feel predictable.

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.
