Today, I wanna share some critical information in case you are starving and looking for a place to eat.

YELP

Honestly, this application works best in US but in case you wanna search it up something you can use this application no matter where but it may not be useful if you are out of US. As you know there are many useful application or platforms you can use as well. So, don't be sad because you are not in US.

To see how Yelp works, check out the link below:

Google and Foursquare

For instance, I am not in US right now and in case I wanna go some vegan restaurant in any city I am, I use Google Maps, Google or Foursquare. My personal favorite is always Google because the open-close times are much more accurate compare to Foursquare but actually, the main part you should be focusing on is that which application Local people use.

Local People know the Best

Personally, when I go to any city I always look for traditional or special food the country has because I believe that you can eat the best where it is found. For instance, you eat Focaccia Pizza in Italy, macaron in France, Baklava in Turkey. However, when you type "The best Baklava in Istanbul, you may end up with a place which is not that traditional and original. So, Google may know something but not everything. On the other hand, local people may not know much but everyone knows the famous traditional restaurant in their town. In addition to that, talking to locals is quite fun because you learn the way they see and they think. Honestly, we do not only travel for places but people as well.
