What’s better than TripAdvisor for finding sights and experiences?

Very much not a rhetorical question.

Buy a guidebook on Amazon. It’s worth it before a significant trip and saves time compared to sifting through dreck on the Web.

But if you’re in town for business and you happen to have a few extra minutes and you think “hey, what is there to see around here,” TripAdvisor works well enough.

Yelp, Google, Facebook, Foursquare, are all alive and well, as is a lot of local journalism. Subreddits about specific cities also hit well sometimes.

Now if i could just aggregate all their results into one listing per event/location.

Almost like...TripAdvisor
The Google Maps app.
