I’ve been a bad, bad blogger. As some of you know, a few months back I took a job at Facebook and since then my focus has shifted from this site. All my time has been spent working and I’ve done very little travel and so there’s not been a lot to share here.
That’s where Mingle San Francisco and New York come in!
My husband Dan and his friend have just today (hot off the presses) launched their first free iPhone and iPad app for San Francisco and New York. Mingle is pretty special. It pulls near real-time social data about bars and restaurants and let’s you find cool spots while you’re out on the town.
It’s got nifty sorting options so you can decide to see information on places that are
- Popular with tourists or locals
- Drink or food focused
- Frequented by men or women
Best of all, you can see which places are popular right now – or quiet, in case you’re looking for a more intimate spot.
Enough prattle! It’s awesome, it’s free and you should definitely go and download it right now!

I have an app that uses the GPS to map your route and upload it, the only problem is it doesn’t upload the route to dailymile. It can post a workout with time/distance/pace, but no map of your route. Can Mingle post maps of your route to dailymile? Thanks before.

I have tried this app and some other similar apps but i really can’t get used to them. It’s a probably because of lack of functionality, because i like to leave a note for each destination and would love to see it on my PC for easier navigation as well and there is always some unexpected things with those apps like need for heavy data, drains battery and so on
