People steer visitors in Istanbul to Topkapı Palace for its art and Ottoman history (arrive at opening to beat the queues), the Basilica Cistern, which they call unique, the beautiful Blue Mosque, free outside prayer times, Dolmabahçe Palace for its gardens and Bosphorus setting, Süleymaniye Mosque for its views, and Greek and Roman statues at the Istanbul Archaeology Museums.
Kathmandu eating, as people tell it, runs on thakali and momo: dal bhat at Mantra Thakali, the chicken gravy thakali at ThakKhola, momo at Shandar Momo, jhol momo at Mahabharat Momo, Tibetan momo and thukpa at Tashi Delek, and Newari snacks like bara and chhoela at Honacha. Some feel Mantra Thakali and Honacha have slipped.
People eating out in Kuala Lumpur send friends to Village Park for nasi lemak with spiced fried chicken, Oriental Kopi for kaya toast and egg tarts, Nasi Kandar Pelita for roti tisu, Hameediyah for nasi kandar and MTR for crisp ghee dosa. Kin Kin's dry chilli pan mee wins praise too, though its heat builds afterwards.
In Kuala Lumpur, people suggest Batu Caves for its blend of nature and faith, though the stairs wear some out, the Petronas Twin Towers to admire at night and KL Tower for the view. They pair KL Bird Park with a morning walk in Perdana Botanical Garden and save time for the mosque models at the Islamic Arts Museum.
How people suggest seeing Kyoto: Fushimi Inari on a night walk up the mountain, Kiyomizu-dera for its wooden architecture and views, the view over the city from Iwatayama Monkey Park, Nijo Castle's architecture, the bamboo grove at Adashino Nenbutsu-ji and Kodai-ji under its night illuminations. Daytime crowds are the common warning, so many say go early.
Las Vegas, as people tell it: a concert at the Sphere for the sound, the Mob Museum, which turns out better than expected, the trippy Omega Mart, vintage games at the Pinball Hall of Fame, the Neon Museum at sunset or after dark, and the Bellagio fountain show at night with the conservatory's garden displays. The Sphere's film alone gets a split verdict.
People's Vegas short list: the burger and chocolate pie at Bavette's, steaks, cocktails and happy hour at Herbs and Rye, bread and dips at Esther's Kitchen, Beef Wellington at Hell's Kitchen, cotton-candy foie gras at Bazaar Meat and Detroit and grandma-style pies at Good Pie. Some find Hell's Kitchen and Bazaar Meat expensive for what you get.

Where people in Los Angeles send friends to eat: Quarter Sheets for square and Sicilian-style pies, Langer's Delicatessen for pastrami, Apollonia's for Detroit-style pie, BCD Tofu House late at night, Pizzeria Sei for Tokyo-style Neapolitan pies, Santouka for tonkotsu ramen and Holbox for an octopus taco.
Ask about Los Angeles and people point to the Getty for its views and gardens, the Broad's Infinity Room with timed tickets booked ahead, Griffith Observatory after dark, people-watching on the Venice Beach boardwalk, jazz nights at LACMA and the Petersen Automotive Museum's collector vault, worth it even if cars aren't your thing. Parts of the Venice boardwalk feel run-down to some.

What people steer visitors to in Melbourne: exhibitions at the National Gallery of Victoria, dinosaur displays at Melbourne Museum, hot jam doughnuts at Queen Victoria Market, a stroll through the Royal Botanic Gardens, the reading room and Ned Kelly armour at State Library Victoria, and oysters at South Melbourne Market. Expect crowds at the gallery and both markets.
Where people send friends to eat in Melbourne: Gimlet for its burger and prawn toast, Gippsland produce at Farmer's Daughters, tonkotsu at Hakata Gensuke, noodle refills at Mr Ramen San, red lentil dumplings at Maha, buffalo ricotta gnocchi at Cumulus Inc and kangaroo parma at the Napier Hotel.

Nashville, the way people eat it: hot chicken and sides at Hattie B's, hummus and pita at Lyra, the chef's selection at Butcher & Bee, tortilla soup and fried avocado tacos at Más Tacos, brisket at Martin's Bar-B-Que Joint and the PB&J burger at Brown's Diner. Some prefer other hot chicken or find Hattie B's too mild.

Where New Yorkers send friends: the Met, Central Park, and quiet walks with skyline views at Green-Wood Cemetery. Many also point to the Bronx Zoo and the Botanical Garden side by side, and to museums they call underrated, like the Cloisters, the Museum of the City of New York and the Museum of the Moving Image.
Where New Yorkers send people to eat: Katz's pastrami, al pastor at Los Tacos No. 1, the mutton chop at Keens, slices at Joe's and L'Industrie, and Italian sandwiches from Defonte's to All'Antico Vinaio. Katz's prices and Joe's reputation get plenty of pushback too.

Paris favourites people pass along: budget-friendly Bouillon Chartier, steak frites at Le Relais de l'Entrecôte, steak au poivre at Bistrot Paul Bert, ramen at Kodawari Ramen, Lebanese food at Kubri and the mustard sauce pork fillet at La Jacobine. Expect long waits at Chartier and Kodawari, and a few call the Entrecôte a tourist trap.
In Paris, people point to picnics and chess-watching in the Jardin du Luxembourg, the Eiffel Tower after dark when it sparkles, Impressionists at the Musée d'Orsay, the hills and cafés of Parc des Buttes-Chaumont, and Sainte-Chapelle's stained glass in evening light. The Louvre divides them, and some would take d'Orsay instead.
Pattaya meals people stand behind: the roast at Robin Hood, steak at Beefeater, Peaky Blinders or Patrick's Steakhouse, a full English at Kung's, the Sunday carvery at The Sportsman, and pad thai right by the ocean at Oxygen in Pratumnak, with a wide pick of craft beers.
