iPhone/BlackBerry/Android/Palm Pre: If you’re in a new location and looking for the low-down on local haunts, mobile application Where may just come to your rescue.
Whether you’re using m.where.com or one of the native phone applications, finding a place to eat is as easy as setting your location and searching. Offering local information from Eventful, Yelp, GasBuddy, Zipcar, ShopLocal, Starbucks, Buddy Beacon, Topix, and more, there’s no need to stop someone to ask where you can grab a good cup of coffee or fill up with cheap gas.
The results are listed in order, closest to farthest, and include additional information such as star ratings (where available), address, directions, and map. You’re also able to save places for future reference.
Downloading the app gives you the benefit of additional widgets, such as State Parks, Winery Finder, Fore, and World's Largest—for the roadside attraction lovers out there. Widget availability depends upon which cell phone provider you use, unfortunately.
Your brain’s natural tendencies don’t easily accommodate international flights, all-nighters, or rotating shift work. Refusing to eat for about 16 hours before waking up, however, can help reboot your sleep cycle.
Whether you garden because you love getting into your backyard or out of a desire for fresher food, you can get the most bang for your buck by planting high-yield vegetables.
