Locus

Describe the place you want in plain English; get five real ones back, each with a reason.

Locus does one thing: you describe a place in plain English, and it finds real ones. A daily research pass — grounded in live search, not guesswork — builds a running list of trending spots across Seattle, LA, and New York; your query gets matched against whatever it's found, then a second pass ranks the top five and writes a line on why each fits. It's not perfect. Coverage is only as good as the last research run, and a rating or price sometimes goes missing rather than get guessed — better an honest gap than a made-up number. But it beats panning around a map, most of the time.
