Urban Spoon (iPhone)

Winner of: Fourth Best Free iPhone App (non games)

Why it's a best pick:
Fun and useful app that uses the iPhone’s GPS and a large database of restaurant listings to find restaurants in your area. Looking for a wine bar in your area? Sushi? Smoothies? Just give your iPhone a shake and Urban Spoon will find it for you. Recommendations are sorted by price, area, or food type, all of which are user selectable. Or if you have no idea what to eat, Urban Spoon will select a restaurant randomly. Once you find a restaurant, you can find more details, read user reviews, and see what percentage of users recommend it. Connect with friends to share opinions on restaurants and get recommendations. Especially useful for frequent travelers.
