Your preferences & how this page adapts

Your choices shape your invitation. SparkleTree can adapt the introduction using your occasion, selected neighborhood, cuisine, local time and, when available, observed weather. Restaurant matches come from NARA’s directory. Exact location stays in memory on your device; coordinates rounded to roughly a kilometer fetch National Weather Service observations. SparkleTree receives only the city, timezone, weather and explicit choices. We never use an IP address to decide what is nearby.

Saved restaurants stay on this device until you clear them. Filters last for this tab. Search text and your saved list are not sent to SparkleTree.
