I’m sure many of you are familiar with web-based mapping services. Mapquest was one of the first, and as with a lot of their services, Google is coming on strong. Their Google Maps service allows something that people call mashups. A “mash-up” allows you to take a set of data and plot it out on a map.
Restaurantica provides this sort of mapping for restaurants across North America:
Restaurantica is your interactive online guide to the restaurants in your local community. This website features listings for over 12,000 restaurants and thousands of informative restaurant reviews contributed by our community. If you are planning on dining out sometime soon, you’ll want to see what the Restaurantica community has to say first!
It’s a neat service. They even have a page for Niagara Falls restaurants!
