Over the past year I have been an avid Yelp user. Originally I started using it so that I could remember places I ate out in the city. Yelp was good to be, I found some great places that I can now call some of my favorites because of Yelp.
And when I moved to Philadelphia there was no doubt in my mind that I was going to need Yelp more than ever now.
That being said I have noticed some things that I really wish Yelp did that would be especially helpful when visiting, or moving to a new city.
Recommendations!
There are a lot of places that I love in NYC but I have not been able to easily find their “Philly counterparts”. If Yelp had a way to show you places you might like in a new city based on places you have reviewed and liked before, I think it would be very helpful.
Also if there was a Yelp feature similar to Urban Spoon for the iPhone, but using the data that Yelp already knows about me and places I like to eat. For example if I could select a radius on a map, and just press a button that would give me some suggestions, that would be awesome.
But unlike Urban Spoon, these suggestions would not merely be random, but would be tailored to me.
