24 alternatives to HotspotRobot.com - Discover the best restaurants
Hey HN Community, This is my first submission, so go easy on me. I'm launching Hotspot Robot (www.hotspotrobot.com) which provides a new way to find the best restaurants/bars near you. Right now, we're launching in NYC, Philly, DC, LA and San Fran. Here is a 60 second video intro which hopefully makes it clear how Hotspot Robot is different than alternatives like Yelp: http://www.vimeo.com/18023901 For those of you who can't watch the video, basically Hotspot Robot works by aggregating professional content - specifically "best of" & "top 10" lists - from trusted sources (e.g. Zagat, the…
