These are the top 12. 2328 more work too, ranked the same way.
Sorted by time sitting down. Anything that outlasts the last train goes to the bottom, not away: you
can still do those, you’re just getting a cab.
What this can’t tell you
Whether there’s a table. Whether the kitchen’s still on. Whether the second place has a line at nine
on a Friday. None of that is in any record we can fetch, so none of it is claimed here. A place we
can’t put on the map is left out too, because the walk between two stops is the whole trick and a
guessed one would still print as minutes.
How a deal earns a light.
