What Sights in Your City Should You Visit Instead of Chain Restaurants?
If you live in a city that attracts a steady stream of tourists, you already know (and are oblivious to) the chain restaurants they tend to gravitate towards, even when there are downright delectable local options instead for them to eat in – such as Visitors.

So, what local establishments should newcomers eat in your city, rather than chain restaurants?
One thing to note: people visiting another city or country can often find familiar cuisine comforting, so it’s okay if people don’t want to sample local delicacies for that. However, there are still plenty of non-chain restaurants worth visiting for travelers. In San Francisco, the St. Francis Fountain and True Blue Dottie’s are much better choices than Mel’s Drive-in or Denny’s. Or brothers Lanza and Yang Chow in Los Angeles, instead of Metro and Panda Express.
