A neat app for you who loves to travel, and do a little adventure around new unknown towns. This free app for your iPhone/iPod Touch, with v2.0 software or above, called Places from CRiMSONJET. The explanation of the app is as following:"Find nearby restaurants, stores, coffee shops, and bars based on your current location. See ratings, reviews, and pictures from Yelp for thousands of business. Easily get phone numbers, and directions to and from each place. Not sure where to go for lunch? Pick a cuisine and it will show you what's nearby. Traveling in a new city and don't know where all the hot spots are? Just tap the Nightlife section and find the closest bars, lounges, and dance clubs. You can also save businesses in your Contacts for quick retrieval when ordering out."
A very good review is pointed out by Ben Boychuk from Macworld: "Places is a clever, free application for the iPhone and iPod Touch that exploits the devices’ locator feature to find nearby businesses, restaurants, bars and shops. ... A couple of other drawbacks with Places: First, the search can be a bit temperamental. Touch “No results” and sometimes the expanded search snaps back to where you began at “0-1 miles.” And sometimes the app will just shut down on you, like a haughty French maitre’d. Second, Places won’t let you save favorites, but it will let you add contacts to your address book. Whether you want to clutter your address book with one-stop locales is entirely up to you."
