I've been using
Vindigo under FreeBSD to do essentially the same thing, when I travel or speak in popular US cities. The city I currently live in, New London CT. has several
hundred great restaurants and other activities (such as the
Garde Arts Center, the
Hygenic Art Gallery, and other museums, events, art galleries, and so on).
I've often wished someone would catalog New London and put it in Vindigo.. maybe I'll get some local area businesses together to fund such a venture.
Has anyone else contributed to Vindigo or Zagat before? Any tips or hints?
