angela gets yelped.

On Wednesday, we went to another Elite Yelp event and brought Angela along to get her Yelp on. The event was at MyxMedia, a sustainable gallery in Uptown Phoenix that we'd never been to before. The space was super cool, plus a live DJ, all kinds of tasty fall food & drink, burlesque dancers and more. Nice work, Fosse... and Happy Birthday!

After the event we decided to take advantage of the beautiful weather and walked over to Bomberos Wine Bar for a nightcap on the patio. 

Angela's sold on Yelp - have you signed up yet?

Last night, Danny and I went to our first "Elite Yelp Event" at Blancos Tacos y Tequila (love Sam Fox) in Scottsdale. We didn't really know what to expect but had a fantastic time and just added to the long list of reasons why we love Yelp!

Make fun of us all you want, but the event brought together people who like to get out, try new places and then tell people about them. We had a night of fantastic food, drinks, tequila tasting and fun... all on the house. Simply for writing reviews. Can't beat that, right?

We've said it here before and we'll say it again... if you're not using Yelp you're missing out. This could be you, in your city. Do it.

Do you Yelp? If you don’t, you should. Yelp is a fabulous & free online review source for just about anything. Looking for a $-$$ Mexican restaurant for a date night in Phoenix? Need a wedding make-up artist in San Diego (how I found mine)? Want a wine bar downtown? Yelp reviews will provide you with real and honest overviews and photos based on a 1-5 Star consumer rating. We use it all the time both at home and on vacation. When you only have a couple nights in a new city, it's great to know you're going to the best spots.

Hint: Look out for the "Tips" section in the review... this is where you'll get info like "it's valet only so bring cash, lunch not served until 2pm, live music on Tuesday nights, etc."

We love Yelp. And we see it as a give-take relationship. I know there are some of you out there who turn to Yelp but don’t post your own reviews – tisk tisk. It’s easy (once you get the hang of it), it’s free & it’s fun. Plus, the iPhone app let's you add photos and tips on the go.  

Quite the Yelper, Danny has established his own Trifecta Rating System and takes the average of his ratings of the Food, Service & Ambiance... See his reviews here. Or my photos & reviews here.

Happy Yelping!
