Uber Restaurant Guide
- tdb7893 10y agoIt worked for Michelin I guess. I'm just imagining "Uber 4 star restaurant"
- buckhx 10y agoThe rankings are a bit more objective than Michelin in the sense that they are generated based on trip data. That being said, check out some of them in cities you are familiar with and see how you feel about them.
- ethanbond 10y agoNot really "more objective." They measure different things. Michelin is a rating of quality, these are mere popularity. And not even general popularity... all the ones I saw seemed to trend a bit on the pricier side which makes sense given the bias towards people who Uber to dinner. So the Uber rankings are basically "trendy restaurants on the pricier side near you."
- buckhx 10y agoAt least in the cities I'm familiar with they all seem to be in either clubbing areas or difficult places to get to.
- ethanbond 10y agoYeah, a lot of the NYC ones are in Meatpacking which... is exactly the type of place that you'd Uber to dinner. Tip: When most of your "top rated restaurants" also have DJ/club components to them, your rating system is fucked up.
- yalogin 10y agoI cannot help but think about Stallman's blog about privacy and Uber. I wish they resist these unnecessary steps to delve into data like this.
