Find a Great Lunch

I believe I've posted about Yelp before, but if not let me give a quick rundown.

Yelp is a website that allows users to review any place. It leans heavily toward restaurants, but there are plenty of reviews for other establishments. The fun part is that you can create a group of friends that have similar tastes and learn about new places to visit. It is a lot of fun.

Well, Lunchbox is a new site that unites Yelp with Google Maps to quickly give you Yelp reviews based on a zip code. So now I can type in my work zip code and quickly find a place to eat nearby. I can quickly look at the number of stars Yelp reviewers have given it or even read the full reviews. It is better than other restaurant searches, because I get better reviews from people I trust. Yes, I've developed a trust in Yelper's opinions.

I've been waiting for something like this to come along. And to tell you the truth I had been kicking around putting something together myself. But now I don't have to. Excellent!
