What you can do

What Places Atlas does

  1. Map and ranked list

    A heat map shows where the talk concentrates. Beside it, the places in view are ranked from #1 down by how many redditors mentioned them.

  2. Search a place

    Look up a city or a single place by name, or choose a country and a city to start from.

  3. Food, Coffee & drinks, Nightlife and more

    Filter by type: Food, Coffee & drinks, Landmarks, Parks & outdoors, Nightlife, Stay, Shops and Areas.

  4. Hide chains

    On by default, so local places aren't buried under chain branches. A chain is counted across its whole state, not branch by branch.

  5. City pages

    Best food in Seattle, according to Reddit, and the same for every other category: a city's top 10 places, each with a quote, and tabs for the rest.

  6. Place pages

    What redditors say, sorted by usefulness; Who points here, the subreddits whose members mention the place most; and Nearby on the map.

How it works

How Places Atlas works

  1. Pick a city

    Search for it, or choose a country and then a city. The map and the ranked list fill in together.

  2. Narrow it down

    Choose a type such as Food or Coffee & drinks, and keep Hide chains on to see local places first.

  3. Read why

    Open a place to read what redditors said about it, which subreddits point to it and what else is nearby.

Honest limits

What Places Atlas doesn't do

Here is what it won't do, so you know before you start.

  • Mentions, not endorsements: complaints count the same as praise, and the rank is not a quality score.
  • Food, drink, nightlife, sights, parks, shops, places to stay and neighborhoods only. Services such as plumbers, dentists or lawyers aren't in it.
  • No month-by-month trend: each number is a total over about six years.
  • No alerts, no exports and no side-by-side comparison with competitors.
  • Place names are matched to a public places database automatically, so some matches are wrong, and a few city lists still include streets or common phrases.
