Methodology
How this is ranked.
Plain English, no formula. The integrity of The 12 lives or dies here.
Verified visits weigh most. A spot only enters the list once 5+ people have logged a verified visit in the period.
Helpful tags lift a spot. When the community marks a tag as accurate (cozy, late-night, anniversary, …) that signal counts.
Recent reviews count more. A review from this month is worth more than the same review from last year.
Cost data presence is a small bonus. A spot whose community has reported a real cost, not a tier, earns a small lift in confidence.
Nothing else moves a spot up or down. Editor input, business tier, paid placement, manual promotion: all weighted at zero.
