Guides
Your city, the way you'd tell a friend.
Have you ever walked past a place and thought “I have to try that,” then forgotten it?
Jot it down. Junior finds it among 67,000 New York places and puts it on Want to go when you say so.
The places you love and the ones you want to try, sorted by kind and neighborhood, with your own ratings beside everyone else's.
A guide is the places you've saved in one city, one borough or one neighborhood, sorted into what they are.
Somewhere new
From “try it someday” to Want to go
Jot a place on a post-it and send it where it belongs: Want to go, or Favorites. Junior looks through your own places first, and in New York through its own catalog of places.
Or paste a link to the place's page, or add it by name.
By kind
Restaurants, bars, happy hours, the lot
Your places sort themselves into food and drink, live, culture, out and about, and seasonal, and into restaurants, bars, cafes and happy hours inside those. Anything sorted wrong can be moved by hand.
The same shape works for a whole city, a borough or one neighborhood. Favorites sit at the top of the list.
Restaurants
Your ratings beside Junior's
Open Restaurants and every place carries your stars and, once enough people have rated it, Junior's. Filter to favorites, or to dinner, brunch or a quick bite when your own notes say so.
The Junior score
Your rating, and everyone else's
Rate a place by what matters for its kind: for a restaurant, the food, service, atmosphere, noise and value, in half stars. Your notes stay yours.
The Junior score appears once five other people have rated a place, and it leaves out the highest and lowest few so nobody's all 1s or all 5s decides it. Your own rating is never part of it.
What it connects to
Level one, more of you. Each room hands off to the others.
