Cureight is where you list and share the eight places you'd actually send a friend to in a city, and see the eight from people you follow. Not a star rating. Just the top places you must go. HOW IT WORKS • Pick a city and add your eight: the restaurant, the bar, the walk, the shop you always tell people about. • Eight is a hard limit. When you find something better, it has to knock something off. That's the point. • Follow friends and see a city ranked by their eights, not by strangers. • Text your list to a friend who's about to travel. No account needed to read it. • Add a short note to any place: why it's on the list, what to order, when to go. WHAT IT ISN'T No ratings. No reviews. No ads. A place is on someone's list or it isn't. Private accounts, blocking, and account deletion are built in.
