Hi,
we’re four guys, and we’ve put together Westminster’s restaurant scene in an app called Vota. The concept is simple: you see two places side by side (for example Famille vs. Kachina Southwestern Grill), you choose the place you’d rather go to, and the ranking updates instantly. The more people vote, the more accurate the list gets over time. There are still a few duplicates here and there, but I’m continuously cleaning up the data.

Here’s the iPhone version, with categories that actually fit Westminster’s food scene:

And here’s the Android version (finally live):

P.S. I’m not from Westminster (I live in Gothenburg). I’m not collecting data, not selling anything, and the app does not use AI-generated content. I’m posting in a few different subreddits because we now support more regions, and I genuinely want honest feedback from people who actually know the area.

Verpackungsteuer nun auch auf Alu Folie beim Döner

50 cent mehr weil die Stadt 40 Millionen+ Defizit hat. Kann mir doch keiner sagen das diese Steuer für die Umwelt ist wenn sowas auf Alu-Folie kommt. Dafür verschwendet man mehr Wasser beim sauber machen von Mehrwegbehältern und diese gehen dann evtl. kaputt oder verloren und liegen dann irgend wo rum. Und die sind sicherlich schwieriger zu recyclen wenn aus hart Plastik.

Help with historical research needed (grave search, Bornestedt)

Hi there! I was wondering if anyone were able to help with my historical research which has now taken me (virtually) to Potsdam. I have been looking into the story of the final resting place of the family that owned the village I grew up in (Bestendorf, now Dobrocin). The two couples, Siegfried and Helene (both died and 1945) and Otto and Paula (died in 1989 and 1994 respectively) von der Goltz-Domhardt were buried in Berlin and Aumühle respectively, but in March 2024 they were reinterred in Potsdam. I am trying to find out where. I was told by the Potsdam town hall it's not in any of the municipal cemeteries. It appears that the Bornestedt cemetery is the most likely one, but they haven't responded to my emails. I was wondering if anyone would be willing and able to check if they can find them there? I'm London-based so it's not so easy. Vielen Dank!

People to go to the carnival with

I saw this carnival near Potsdam Hbf and am looking for people to go there with (I recently moved to Potsdam and don't know anyone here). DM me if you'd like to go together!

Edit: About me: I [M26] recently moved here from India for work. I was also in Singapore for ~ 3.5 years where I did my PhD. I really enjoy talking to people from different backgrounds, getting to know their cultures, and try different cuisines 😋 (hence also my interest in the carnival!), although being vegetarian doesn't take me very far on that front 🥲
