"Where Do You Want To Go Eat?"

The All-Too Familiar Complicated Question


"I'm hungry." "Me too. Where do you want to go?" "I don't care. Where do you want to go?""I don't care."



Does this conversation sound too familiar? Personally, I have this conversation all too frequently with my friends and family. It seems impossible to decide what kind of food everyone is in the mood for-- nonetheless which restaurant would be the best to go to. 


The Urbanspoon application continues to be dissatisfying for me when I try to find restaurants that people actually want to go to. It doesn't sort them by any type of popularity or based on reviews. Instead, it simply gives you a list of places that are near you and in the price range that you select. This is where Google Maps steps in. Using the wiki platform, you can locate businesses on Google Maps and provide reviews and other useful information so others can view it. What a great way to spread the word of the great drink specials you found or some of the best dishes in town!

Take a look at the Jacksonville Hidden Locales Google map below to read some local reviews by a few students at the University of North Florida.
