I'm a New Yorker who loves exploring this city, one meal at a time.
I'd be walking around during Restaurant Week with no idea which restaurants nearby were even participating. Too many options, no easy way to tell if a prix fixe was actually worth it before committing to a table.
CraveLista is what I wanted instead: see what's participating near you, right now, with real prices and real reviews, so you're not gambling on a deal that isn't one. I built it so I could keep a running list of every place worth trying — my own Restaurant Week bucket list — instead of losing track from one week to the next.
I started with NYC Restaurant Week because that's where I felt this most. The same idea works anywhere — your own neighborhood, a new city, any food event worth showing up for.
