Urbanspoon is a restaurant information and recommendation service.
Via its apps and webpage [1], Urbanspoon offers a restaurant search utility, with filtering by price, type of food, neighborhood, nearby businesses (movie theaters, sports venues, etc.), and special features (gluten-free fare, child-friendliness, BYOB-service, etc.).[citation needed] Users could then participate in the simple "like" or "don’t like" rating system to review restaurants, and share restaurant information with friends via email, Facebook, Google+, Twitter, and Pinterest,[citation needed] and by photo pages.[clarification needed][citation needed] Users who create an account could track dining experiences (menu items, price of meal, and photos),[citation needed] and could create a "Wishlist" to save restaurants for future use and a "Guide" to share personal lists of dining favorites.[citation needed]
In addition, the Urbanspoon app featured a "Shake and Spin," allowing users to "Spin" (or shake their device) to randomly see a new eating establishment based on neighborhood, cuisine, or price.
Urbanspoon also operates Instagram [2], Facebook[3] and Twitter[4] accounts to keep it's audience up to date.
