I am thinking about Urbanspoon

“@socialfulcrum uploads menus and content for restaurants and nightlife venues on UrbanSpoon ”

Check-in to Urbanspoon on GetGlue.com

BiteHunter Chomp Chomp Chomp

Where am I going to get Jason chicken and matzah ball soup?

You can order online, for more money, through AOL Seamless Web; you can find out where your friends are eating and drinking on FourSquare; you can read what patrons and owners feel about their establishments on Yelp; and you can use UrbanSpoon when you have no idea what to eat, when you are in Brooklyn far from the Upper West Side, and only have $10 in cash. 

UrbanSpoon’s application has major glitches.  The iPhone application doesn’t change locations quickly; FourSquare does provide menus and dining hours for businesses that create their own check-in location- but many find this option to be cumbersome: they can’t delete what people have wrote about their businesses; Yelp has outdated menus online, with broken links to canceled take-out ordering forms; AOL Seamless Web is enormous, 27 cities strong…but Seamless Web doesn’t crawl the news as a dining aggregator. 

BiteHunter is the only dining site that is in NYC real time.  Each listing on their site is as up to date as the menus they are linked to.  When restaurants update their websites, BiteHunter instantaneously infiltrates the new information into their databases, retroactively.  BiteHunter is the HuffingtonPost of social media sites solely dedicated to the dining industry.  BiteHunter is the only site in NYC that offers information on Daily Deals, Daily Events within the dining bubble, Happy Hour specials, Prix Fixed specials and Restaurant Week incentives. 

New York City media outlets do provide content and event listings- but no one is as comprehensive as BiteHunter.
