Your check-ins. Your tips. The best places across the U.S. ranked by the millions of you who actually went there.

Jan 30th

There are plenty of lists of great places out there – some are curated by editors, some by food critics, and others by people with really strong opinions about brisket. Here at Foursquare, our approach to figuring out the best places is a little different: we’ve analyzed our billions of check-ins and put together lists of places that people love most, based on where they’ve actually been.

These best of lists are based on the ratings we give to millions of places on Foursquare. We use signals like tips, likes, dislikes, popularity, local expertise, and nearly 3 billion check-ins from over 30 million people worldwide to determine how much people love a place. The Best of Foursquare pulls together lists of the places people love most in cities across the U.S., from cafés and pizzerias to museums and bookstores.

One of the things our data shows is how each city is unique: Bostonians love seafood, Portland is a veggie paradise, and Philly may be the city of brotherly love, but what they really love is a good sandwich. Since no two cities are the same, each page is customized to help you get a feel for the local flavor.

So take a look at the lists, and don’t forget to save the places you want to go so you’ll be ready the next time you have a craving.
