Clean UI Design, UX needs some work

The design is clean and easy to use. However, it is hard for me to find something in NY that I would explore because the location settings default to current location and the search radius is too broad. If I go to change the location, it still defaults to current which is somewhere else in NY. It would be nice if there were a settings section where I could set the location and a search for a smaller radius than 25mi, especially for places like Brooklyn or Manhattan. There is just way too much to filter through and with the location defaulting to my location elsewhere in New York, it makes it impossible to get a suggestion that is relevant to my location and preferences. You can live in NY your whole life and never know everything it has to offer. A lot of locals would love to explore more, but this app would need to be more customizable in its search options. Maybe an option to search by date for festivals too? (is there one already?) Anyway, great app, but I think the user needs more control to get to a suggestion that they would actually explore.
