- A redesigned home and Discover feed that is faster to browse.
- Plans and a dining journal. Forward any reservation to plans@dimhour.com and it lands on your trip. Keep a log of where you've been, and share your week as a PDF.
- Sharper filters by neighborhood, price, and vibe.
- A refreshed look and hundreds of new spots across 20 cities.

NEW IN NEW YORK
139 venues added since the last update across all five boroughs — Goodnight Sonny in the East
Village, Barely Disfigured in Carroll Gardens, Bar Americano in Greenpoint, Cote 550, Bar
Chimera, Undercote, plus 80+ neighborhood cafes from Williamsburg to the Upper West Side.
CONCIERGE, FASTER TO USE
The chat now opens with three verb-led starting points — Find, Compare, Plan — and a rotating
prompt placeholder so you see what to ask. Same Claude model underneath; the entrance is
cleaner.
RECENTLY VIEWED
Discover remembers the last spots you tapped through to and surfaces them at the top of the
page. No more retyping a search to get back to that wine bar you were eyeing yesterday.
HAPTICS
Subtle taps when you save, share, or hit Reserve. Small thing, big difference.
QUIET CLEANUP
About 50 venues confirmed permanently closed have been removed — Max's Wine Dive at the San
Antonio Quarry, Lamb's Grill on Main Street SLC, and others. Over 1,000 phone numbers, hours,
and Instagram handles were pulled from venue websites and filled in across all 16 cities. Fewer
"no contact info" gaps when you open a card.
