300+ PLACES TO EAT: Consider this post your first resource when you need to feed a craving, are looking for a brunch spot or a place to celebrate.

While the majority of these restaurants I recommend, this is not a list of recommendations, but a restaurant guide, as there are restaurants listed here that I have not visited in years. The restaurants are categorized based off their offerings and type (cuisine, food truck, food hall, etc.) to make it easier to navigate.

Recommendations will not be accepted for this list as it is based solely on places I’ve eaten at. If a restaurant is not on this list, it is because I have not eaten there or it is an oversight. This list will be updated on an annual basis.
