Tell Harry what you fancy.

Ten places worth leaving the house for. Harry reads the review-site noise, spots the tourist traps, and hands over a shortlist before the kettle's boiled.

Be honest with him. He doesn't judge.

One tap. Anything good, properly nearby, open right now.

- Google's into it. Tripadvisor isn't. Locals are louder here.
- Looks promising, but the sample size is tiny. Harry is watching.
Warninggoogle's giving it 5 stars with basically no other data—could be a handful of raves or just not enough reviews to trust.

- Google is clapping. Yelp is sulking. Harry split the difference.
Warninggoogle loves it, yelp doesn't—that gap usually means the concept works better in theory than execution.
