Very often, it means going to a place you (or anyone else except the natives) ever heard of. Sally was there last fall, and our friends took her to a Thai restaurant that she was really scared of (she's from Atlanta and sort of reacts negatively to anything that's not boiled until it's soft) until she tried the food. She's been raving about it ever since. This was a little (but not dumpy) neighborhood restaurant that attracts locals from all over the City. (Note my capitalization)
