I got tired of trying to pick a date spot with my girlfriend, so I made this website to randomly pick an restaurant/date activity for me based on OpenStreetMap data.

I've also used the data corrections submitted by users to contribute over 3,000 edits back into OSM!

As an avid mapper (and liking to go on dinner-dates with my wife) I absolutely love this. Very slick and quick search, congratulations! Do you also parse the `opening_hours` tag to filter for currently open restaurants?
Currently I don't check the opening_hours, because I've found it's missing for many (most?) restaurants, so I felt it wouldn't be a very useful filter
