Foodies swarm the South End and its many, many restaurants on a regular basis. To find out the best spots in the neighborhood for a great meal, we looked at data provided by Foursquare, the location-based app that helps you discover new places using recommendations from a community you trust.To come up with the rankings, Foursquare used a proprietary algorithm that utilizes three factors: Visit Popularity (how popular a place is), Tip Sentiment (whether someone using the app describes a place using positive or negative language), and Explicit Ratings (whether someone gives the place a like, dislike, or neutral rating using the app).With that in mind, here is Foursquare’s list of the best eateries in the South End as of November 18.1.
