How to Make a List on Musey That Your Friends Will Actually Use

You know that feeling when a friend visits your city and asks, “Where should I go?”

And suddenly your brain short-circuits even though you have a million ideas?

Musey was built to fix that.

Lists are one of the most powerful (and fun) features on Musey — and when done right, they’re gold. Whether it’s a curated guide for your bestie’s weekend trip or a running log of late-night eats, a good Musey list is like giving someone your personal cheat code to life.

Here’s how to make a list that people actually use — and maybe even share back.

✨ Step 1: Start With a Real-Life Use Case

The best lists solve a specific vibe or moment — not just a location.

Try these formats:

• “Solo Date Spots in Oakland” → For when you want to eat alone but feel cute about it
• “Rainy Day Favorites” → Cozy, indoor places to ride out the gloom
• “Late-Night Bites That Hit Every Time” → 10pm and up only, please
• “Spots That Made Me Feel Something” → Peak main-character energy
• “My LA Starter Pack” → If your city was a mixtape, what’s on Side A?

📍 Step 2: Add Entries With Context

A good list entry has more than a pin. Add:

• What to order / do
• Why it matters to you
• Any quirks or pro tips
• Ex: “Get the miso latte and sit in the window. It’s the best people-watching spot in the city.”

Keep it real — you’re not writing for Yelp. You’re helping a friend experience it the way you did.

🎨 Step 3: Make It Yours

Give your list a name with personality. You don’t need to sound like a travel guidebook. Be you.

Instead of “Best Restaurants in SF” →

Try “Places I’d Take You If I Loved You”

Or “Spots That Kept Me Fed During My Quarter-Life Crisis”

You can also:

• Add a short intro to your list
• Choose if it’s public, private, or shared with just a few friends
• Use emoji in list names (obviously)

🔗 Step 4: Share It Like a Friend

Musey makes it easy to send your list as a link — no app download required. So the next time someone says, “Got any recs?”

Boom. You’ve got a curated list ready to go.

They get the goods, you look like a genius, and you don’t have to dig through old texts or Notes app chaos.

🎁 Bonus: Some List Prompts to Try Today

• “Brunch Without the Waitlist”
• “Outdoor Spots I Love That No One Talks About”
• “Coffee Shops That Don’t Feel Like Work”
• “First Date Ideas I’ve Actually Tested”
• “Places That Felt Like a Hug”

The best lists don’t just tell people where to go.

They tell them why it’s worth it.

So go ahead — start that list you’ve been meaning to make. Share it. Add to it. Make it feel like you.

Your friends (and future self) will thank you.
