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.
- Almost nobody's been. The ones who have can't shut up about it. Worth getting in before the crowd finds it.
Warninggoogle's 4.9 is probably inflated by a small sample size; yelp's more honest at 4.7.
