Similar restaurants

In the last exercise, you generated pairs between restaurants and restaurants_new in an effort to cleanly merge both DataFrames using record linkage.

When performing record linkage, there are different types of matching you can perform between different columns of your DataFrames, including exact matches, string similarities, and more.

Now that your pairs have been generated and stored in pairs, you will find exact matches in the city and cuisine_type columns between each pair, and similar strings for each pair in the rest_name column. Both DataFrames, pandas and recordlinkage are in your environment.
