A first-time visit to San Francisco can be overwhelming for food lovers, given the city’s myriad of both top-flight Michelin restaurants and iconic hole-in-the-wall eateries. Getting a sense of the city’s food scene could take a lifetime — but if you only have a few days, this selection will get you going.

First Time in San Francisco? Here’s Exactly Where to Eat.

Washington, DC

In the last days before cherry blossom madness fully overtakes the city, we vote for checking out this handful of high-profile restaurant openings. Across town, D.C. sees new spots from stalwart groups like Atlas and José Andrés as well as small-but-still-mighty operations like an H Street cheese counter and a 17th Street cafe.

Dallas, TX

Austin, TX

Just when you think you’ve seen it all across this diverse dining landscape, Texas restaurateurs keep serving up hits. It’s not just that a lauded San Antonio chef has brought his cured meat sorcery to Austin, or that a couple of Houston’s best chefs have teamed up to create a compelling new Asian restaurant. It’s also that live-fire ovens are taking center stage to flame-kiss and char everything in sight, while tacos get the 24 karat-gold treatment.

Brooklyn, NY

Back during the beginning of the Covid pandemic in the spring of 2020, our household was having a familiar sounding problem: It was hard to get food. Going to the supermarkets involved crowds, health/safety issues and being met with barren shelves. Meat was particularly difficult to come by, particularly in the grocery wasteland of our area of Brooklyn.

Hollywood, FL

Just imagine the scene: you’re out on the water, your boat anchored, enjoying a tasty meal and warm weather. You hear the rumble of an engine making its way down the channel. You look over, expecting to see a jet ski or powerboat heading your way. Instead, what catches your eye appears to be a Corvette C8 powering its way through the water.

Chicago, IL

With longer days and brighter skies comes the siren call of the grill. But these days, we’re focusing our attention not on burgers and steaks, but on far-more sustainable pork. With an estimated one-seventh the climate impact of beef, pork isn’t just good for the environment, it’s also just plain good. Outgrowing its rep as “the other white meat,” heritage pork has become the protein of choice for a whole host of the nation’s top chefs, including Chris Thompson of New American gem Union in Logan Square.

Phoenix, AZ

Phoenix might not be the oldest desert city in the country, but there’s still a shimmer of nostalgia lurking around the remnants of old Route 66 hotspots and hangouts. Luckily, the recent roadside inn revival — plus a wave of hoteliers resurrecting old motels — have transformed a bevy of these historic hotels. Such is the case with the newly (re)opened Egyptian Motor Hotel. Established in 1958, the historic motor hotel has been completely reimagined, with plenty of quirky nods to its past.

Georgia State

Dublin, GA

According to one report, fewer than three percent of commercial pilots are Black, which makes the story of Captain John Curry and his son Chris Curry, exceptional. John Curry grew up in the small town of Dublin, Georgia, deciding at the age of six that he wanted to fly. He’s now flown with American Airlines for over two decades, working as a check pilot for the airline on the Boeing 777 aircraft — the only Black check pilot at American currently serving that fleet type. His son Chris followed in his father’s footsteps and is now a captain for Envoy, an American Airlines regional carrier. We talked to the Miami-based duo about their careers, how they stay sane on the road and their favorite routes out of Miami.

Spring ushers in new allergies and new tours from all your favorite musicians. Lucky for you, most of these concerts are indoors.
