I don’t mean Pittsburgh. Though maybe in some very indirect way I am benefiting the Pittsburgh community by reviewing its fine dining (and other) establishments. (Like maybe as a city becomes more popular on Yelp, the internet elite will flock here, naming it a technologically savvy mecca for the young thus infusing the city with fresh new yuppie-hipster blood) I have used Yelp for quite a while, probably a few years, to help me find places to go, especially while traveling. On the roadtrip last summer Yelp decided most of our food choices and even occasionally how we should spend our evenings.
Two weeks ago while I was in Houston visiting Amy and for Kelli’s wedding I actually broke down and (finally!) created myself a Yelp account. I then proceeded to review a number of the places Amy & I liked on the road trip, as well as a bunch of the places I commonly eat around Pittsburgh.
So, head over to http://pgage.yelp.com and read about what I like to eat, or even better become an active web citizen and sign up for your own account. I am sure you have opinions about food; and what better way is there to force your own tastes onto others than by participating in content creation on the internet.
