Answers & Discussion
I avoid restaurants where someone is outside pushing you to come in. That has rarely led to a good meal in my experience.
Check recent reviews, not just the overall score. A place can look popular online but still be coasting on old ratings.
Markets are great for lunch. You can try local food without committing to an expensive sit-down meal near a landmark.
