Where are we goingtonight?
The bars, bites, and plans worth putting your heels on for — curated by girlfriends, for girlfriends.
The running order
Four moves, one great night. Swap in your neighborhood's version of each stop — the format holds up anywhere.
"Low stakes, good playlist, one bottle of something sparkling split six ways."
"Ask for the corner banquette. Order the whole small plates section and share everything."
"Get there before 10 or you're standing. Their espresso martini is the whole personality."
"Cash for the coat check, comfortable shoes in your bag, no regrets in the morning."
Every kind of night, covered
Tell us the occasion. We'll tell you where to go.

Limited spots"If we wouldn't send our own best friend there, it's not going on the list."
The GNO Guide started as a running note on someone's phone — the place with the good hostess, the bar that remembers your order, the patio that's actually worth the wait. It's still that note. We just made it easier to find.
Every pick is visited, paid for, and argued about by the people who run this account. No paid placements, no algorithm deciding what you see first.
Curated by a rotating crew of locals across 18 neighborhoods.
