Tip: iPhone - Where Should We Go for Dinner?

Tired of Thanksgiving leftovers? Let's go out to eat. But where? Urbanspoon, a free download available from the iTunes Store, can help you decide.

Urbanspoon determines your location using the 3G's GPS or by triangulating position on the First Generation iPhone. It then spins a wheel, much like a slot machine.

If you don't like the restaurant suggested, give your iPhone a shake and the wheels roll again. Shake again for another suggestion.

You can set the wheels so that only restaurants serving one kind of cuisine, or in a certain neighborhood, or in a certain price range are suggested.

Once urbanspoon suggests a restaurant that you'd like to go to, tap on the restaurant's name and address, phone numbers, even reviews - from newspapers and former customers are available.

Bon Appetit!
