Google is testing more local search features and sections including a section in the local finder named "Discover more places" and a local search box in web search named "Explore places nearby."

These were both spotted by Claudia Tomina who posted these examples on X over the past week or so.

Here is a screenshot of the "Discover more places" section in the local finder:
