Put "Great Neighborhood Restaurants" in your Pocket : Try the LTH Forum GNR App

By Anthony Todd in Food on Apr 14, 2011 6:40PM

On Monday night, we were fortunate to attend the Great Neighborhood Restaurant awards, hosted by LTH Forum at Sun Wah BBQ. We love the GNR awards, because they are an expression of a genuine love for food and drink - mostly divorced from celebrity, media and hype. It's a chance for unsung independent spots to get their due, and the event was a great chance for nominators and forum members to meet some of the restaurant owners who serve them so much tasty food. Even better, this year there is no need to carry around a pocket guide - there's an app for that.

The app isn't downloadable, but if you go to the url on your mobile device, it loads up nicely. It has a GPS component, so you can find out which GNR recipeients are close to you. There's a map view, a list view, and the ability to sort by cuisine. If you're looking for an alternative to OpenTable, or an app that will let you find great local and/or ethnic restaurants, bookmark this immediately.

In case you missed it, take a look at this year's GNR winners.
