Coffee and restaurants

Neokondor-ING

Good day.

I have read new "Eligibility Criteria". And i have some questions.

1. There are no playgrounds in "A great place to be social with others". Are they not a great place anymore?
2. Popular restaurants. We have many popular restaurants, such as Mc.Donalds, KFC, BurgerKing. May we submit them? If in a town only one Mc.Donalds - may be. But we have many fustfood restaurants in my town.
3. Favorite coffee shops. I like "Coffee Like". But there are more than 30 coffee bars "Coffee Like" in my town. May we submit all of them? Or you talk about non chain coffee and restaurants? May we submit all restaurants and coffee shops, witch not chain or franchise?

1. They should still be

2. Thats too generic in my eyes

3. Also top generic.

If coffee shops and restautants act like a local hotspot they are ok. But not because there is only one McDonalds/etc. in your city. I more think of little non-company-chain shops. I believe, that Casey stated something about this earlier. Ill quickly search for it

1. Playgrounds are often features of parks. Parks are identified under exercise and social. Even on their own, playground undeniably promote exercise and were great places for parents and kids to socialize before COVID-19 restrictions.

2. A McDonald's could be a waystop. It would have to be hotspot where locals meet. It is the submitter's responsibility to convince the reviewers what makes this place special. This is harder to do when there are multiple McDonald's or other fast food places nearby. I see the local hotspots as a place you might take you buddy if he visits from out of town, not due to convenience, but because that place is special.

3. Same thing goes for coffee shops. Is that place special or unique? Prove it.

I also find for restaurants I see alot of people saying “this is a popular place” but they dont offer any kind of proof to it. From previous things and obviously the new criteria it would definitely help if you include tripadvisor or anythjng that makes that restaurant stand out from others. I don’t know what the stance is with restaurants but in my eyes if its a top social gathering there will be something. To go with it and prove that as most times you arent from the neighbourhood
