Publico as best restaurant? Ki Ki Ki
A friendly observation: the utility of articles like this would be vastly improved if the legitimate websites of the businesses were linked rather than Instagram. Pretty pictures aside, Instagram is quite useless for finding out any of the information you may want to know before visiting these places.
Maybe I’m being lazy, or I’m bitter because my work network blocks all social media sites :), or maybe there’s a good reason I’m missing, but I’ve been thinking it for years about so many of the posts on this site so I’m betting others agree. All in all, I think you guys do a great job though! :)
