Meta-Reviews

Have you ever wished that you could look up a whole bunch of reviews for a restaurant at one location? Well, now you can. Urbanspoon acts as a Meta-Review site for restaurants, collecting reviews from various sites like New York Magazine, the New York Times, Time Out New York, New York Sun, CitySearch, even Michelin. Plus bloggers can even link reviews from their blogs to the site (as we are working to do now with our restaurant reviews).

Of course there is also the requisite spot for user reviews as well. Currently UrbanSpoon is available for most US cities and, of course, the more you participate in the site, the more definitive it becomes and the more useful as a tool. What is clearly missing are the Zagat’s reviews.
