How do you organize restaurants you want to try before a trip?

Hey everyone 👋

How do you all organize restaurants, cafés, street food spots, or local food recommendations before a trip?

My wife and I save a ton of TikToks, Reels, Shorts, and videos of places we want to try when visiting a new city, but by the time we’re actually there, everything is scattered across texts, screenshots, saved posts, and random links.

Then when we’re hungry, we either dig through messages or just end up choosing whatever is nearby.

I’ve been working on a small tool called NomNomad that helps turn food videos into actual saved places for a trip list.

The flow is basically:

food video → find the real restaurant → save it to a list → use it when traveling

It’s still early, so I’m mostly trying to understand whether other travelers have this problem too.

Curious what system you use now: Google Maps lists, Notes app, screenshots, spreadsheets, saved posts, or something else?

How do you keep track of all your places and decide???

Hey everyone 👋

Curious how people here organize restaurant videos they get from TikTok, Reels, Shorts, or friends.

My wife sends me tons of places we should try, but when it’s time to actually pick somewhere, everything is buried in messages, screenshots, and saved posts.

I started building NomNomad to solve that.

You paste/share a food video, it helps find the actual restaurant, and then you can save it to a list so you can actually go later.

It’s still early and free to try, with usage limited while I improve it.

Would love to know if this is a problem other people have too:

My wife sends me hundreds of restaurant videos, so I built an app to organize them

My wife sends me hundreds of restaurant videos from TikTok, Reels, and Shorts.

The problem is that when it’s actually time to pick somewhere to eat, all those videos are buried in messages, saved posts, screenshots, and random links — so we end up going to the same few places again.

So I built NomNomad.

The idea is simple:

See a restaurant in a video → find the actual spot → save it to a list → go eat.

NomNomad identifies restaurants from food videos and gives you the real name, address, hours, ratings, and a way to save spots into lists.

It’s still early, so I’m not charging for it right now. Usage is limited while I collect feedback, find what breaks, and improve the app.

Would this solve a real problem for you, or is this just a me-and-my-wife problem?
