Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): JapanLegal

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Great eateries

If you would like to go with a less literal translation but with a feeling of casualness, here is another possibility for「見どころ」「遊びどころ」「食べどころ]

Sites to See! Fun Spots to Visit! and Great Eateries!

places to eat

That list in the brackets would probably read:
"places to see, things to do, places to eat"
Peer comment(s):

agree seika : I think this is widely used... (though 'Great Eateries' sounds good, too)

Yeah, I will admit it has a nice ring to it. I was thinking of the more common phrase though.
