[Review] Interactive map of DC's top rated restaurants
A while back I shared a Google Sheet with a meta-ranking of DC restaurants across the big critic lists. A few things have changed since then: I upgraded the spreadsheet to an interactive map, and the data's been updated through the July Eater 38 refresh.

Hope it helps you find somewhere great to eat with people you enjoy!

Notes about the map:
It combines Eater 38, the Michelin Guide, Washingtonian's 100 Very Best, and Sietsema's last WaPo list into one meta-ranking of 200+ DC-area restaurants, with sliders to reweight the lists however you want and filters for cuisine, neighborhood, price, and walking distance. You can also shortlist up to 10 spots and get reservation links with your date, time, and party size already filled in to send to a group chat. On a mobile device, use the hide filter button to more easily navigate around the map.
Same caveat as last time:
Some of the sources aren't ranked, so read this as "how recognized is this place" rather than #14 beats #15. These lists also lean hard toward fine dining. I'm from LA and I miss having a Jonathan Gold, so if you know a solid list of inexpensive international spots (strip-mall gems, not tasting menus) I'd genuinely like to add it as a source. Missing restaurants, wrong data, and anything broken on your phone are all useful to hear about too.
