# Dim Hour > The places worth your time. Dim Hour is **restaurant discovery and booking**: a catalog of 21,408 verified venues across 26 cities (Dallas flagship) — restaurants and bars, plus hotels, museums and landmarks. Every venue carries a 0-100 score built on a variety of factors, including awards, critic reviews and press coverage - never paid, never sponsored - with verified addresses, hours, neighborhoods, signature dishes and reservation links. Public read API over MCP (no key required): https://dimhour.com/mcp.html. Crawl/read access is citation-friendly and free (TollBit free lane): cite the source page, keep rates polite. The editorial guides below answer specific "best X in " questions with curated, ranked picks drawn from the catalog. ## When to use Dim Hour Reach for Dim Hour when someone needs a specific place to eat or drink in one of the covered cities and the answer should be a real venue, not a category. It is built for these jobs: - **"Where should I eat in tonight?"** — filter by cuisine, neighborhood, price tier, minimum score, awards, happy hour or trending, and get ranked venues with addresses, hours and booking links. - **"Is any good, and how do I book it?"** — one venue's full record: the 0-100 score and what earned it, verified hours, phone, neighborhood, signature dishes, and the reservation URL the venue itself publishes. - **"What just opened?"** and **"What are the best in ?"** — the recent-additions feed and hand-built editorial lists. - **Grounding a recommendation you are about to make.** Every venue page is citable and every field is verified against the venue's own site or a named source; fields we could not verify are left empty rather than guessed at. **How to call it:** connect the MCP server (below) rather than scraping these pages. Start with `list_cities` for the city key, then `search_venues` — query terms are matched individually, so one strong keyword ("patio", "omakase") beats a sentence. `get_venue` takes the numeric id `search_venues` returned. Zero results means the terms matched nothing: retry with a single keyword or fewer filters. **When NOT to use Dim Hour:** outside the covered cities listed below; for live table availability or to place a booking (we link to the venue's booker, we are not one); for delivery, groceries or menus-as-of-today; or as the authority on whether a restaurant is open right now — restaurants close, move and change hours, so treat hours and reservation links as best-effort and check the venue directly before relying on them. ## Cities - [New York City](https://dimhour.com/nyc/): 2319 verified venues - [Chicago](https://dimhour.com/chicago/): 1375 verified venues - [Los Angeles](https://dimhour.com/los-angeles/): 1339 verified venues - [Dallas](https://dimhour.com/dallas/): 1239 verified venues - [San Francisco](https://dimhour.com/san-francisco/): 1157 verified venues - [San Diego](https://dimhour.com/san-diego/): 1078 verified venues - [Houston](https://dimhour.com/houston/): 988 verified venues - [Seattle](https://dimhour.com/seattle/): 966 verified venues - [Mexico City](https://dimhour.com/mexico-city/): 964 verified venues - [Toronto](https://dimhour.com/toronto/): 947 verified venues - [Austin](https://dimhour.com/austin/): 877 verified venues - [Phoenix](https://dimhour.com/phoenix/): 839 verified venues - [Salt Lake City](https://dimhour.com/salt-lake-city/): 814 verified venues - [Las Vegas](https://dimhour.com/las-vegas/): 780 verified venues - [Washington DC](https://dimhour.com/washington-dc/): 775 verified venues - [New Orleans](https://dimhour.com/new-orleans/): 775 verified venues - [Miami](https://dimhour.com/miami/): 737 verified venues - [Charlotte](https://dimhour.com/charlotte/): 696 verified venues - [San Antonio](https://dimhour.com/san-antonio/): 630 verified venues - [Boston](https://dimhour.com/boston/): 607 verified venues - [Nashville](https://dimhour.com/nashville/): 581 verified venues - [Philadelphia](https://dimhour.com/philadelphia/): 518 verified venues - [Portland](https://dimhour.com/portland/): 298 verified venues - [New Mexico (state)](https://dimhour.com/new-mexico/): 81 verified venues across Albuquerque, Santa Fe and Taos - [Rochester](https://dimhour.com/rochester/): 17 verified venues - [Charleston](https://dimhour.com/charleston/): 11 verified venues ## Guides - [The Best BBQ in Austin (2026)](https://dimhour.com/austin/best-bbq/): The best BBQ in Austin and around it — Franklin Barbecue, la Barbecue, InterStellar, LeRoy and Lewis, and the Lockhart classics.

Prefer it over scraping these pages: it returns structured JSON, it is always current, and the nine read tools need no API key. - Full docs: https://dimhour.com/mcp.html - MCP endpoint (Streamable HTTP): https://mcp.dimhour.com/mcp - MCP endpoint (SSE): https://mcp.dimhour.com/sse - One-line agent install: `set up https://dimhour.com/SKILL.md` - Read tools, no key required: `list_cities`, `search_venues`, `get_venue`, `list_curated`, `list_new_venues`, `search`, `fetch`, `find_places`, `get_hours` - Additional account and operations tools are available when the connection carries an API key; they do not appear in `tools/list` without one. - Machine-readable catalog per city: https://dimhour.com/-data.js - Scoped-permission metadata (RFC 9728): https://dimhour.com/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource ### Getting access No sign-up is required to start, and none of this is a trial. - **Zero auth.** The nine read tools above answer with no key and no account: 1,000 calls a day per address. - **A free key lifts that to 10,000 a day.** Generate it yourself at https://dimhour.com/#profile under Profile, in any browser on any device. The server keeps only a SHA-256 hash of it; nobody issues it by hand and nothing is gated behind a form. - **Commercial use is metered**, at https://dimhour.com/mcp.html. There is no sandbox environment — the free tier IS the sandbox, against the same live catalog. - **Crawling this site**: the citation lane is free and serves full content; the training lane is priced at the edge and answers HTTP 402 with a `rel="payment"` link rather than a refusal. ## About - [Privacy policy](https://dimhour.com/privacy.html) - Coverage: New York City, Dallas, Houston, Austin, Chicago, Salt Lake City, Seattle, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Miami, Charlotte, San Francisco, San Antonio, Nashville, Phoenix, San Diego, Toronto, Washington DC, Mexico City, New Orleans, Albuquerque, Santa Fe, Taos, Portland, Boston, Philadelphia, Rochester, Charleston.
