>>[Background music] Stumped about where to get some lunch? I'm Jessica Dolcourt from cnetdownload.com and I'm going to show you Urbanspoon. Urbanspoon is a dining discovery app. for iPhone and iPod Touch 2.0 that helps you find a lot of restaurants in your area. Let's go get some grub. Let's open her up. This is the pane I like to call dining roulette. There are three variables, your neighborhood, the type of cuisine and the price range. And what you do is you just click on shake and the wheels will spin and it will land on a neighborhood near you, a type of cuisine randomly and the price range. Using these padlocks here let's make it a little bit cheaper and let's keep this in the neighborhood. Let's try again. Urbanspoon recommends Salt House. I can click in to read a combination of user reviews and also critic's reviews from local periodicals and you can click to view it on a map inside the browser. Now if you're looking for a specific restaurant you can always search by name or you can also browse by category. Here's what's popular on Urbanspoon and here are other neighborhoods you can choose from. Or you can simply find what's near you by clicking the button. Urbanspoon found us a lot of really great restaurants in the area based on our criteria although it really does need to have a hyperlink for every website that it lists and some of the newspaper reviews were really slow to load. However, this is a really fun app. and I highly recommend it. It will help you find a lot of great restaurants in your area. I'm Jessica Dolcourt for cnetdownload.com. This has been Urbanspoon for iPhone and iPod Touch 2.0. ^M00:01:37 [ Music ]
