Eating at the same restaurants over and over gets boring pretty quickly, but there are lots of ways to find new hot spots. Twitter has recently become a great place to find new stuff to eat. If you have a favorite restaurant that’s on Twitter, check out their profile to see whom they follow. Chances are, you’ll find lots of other local chefs and food fans tweeting about your local dining scene.
We made a Twitter list of food trucks and pop-up restaurants to tempt our taste buds.
If you’re looking for something more casual, the food-truck trend is also spreading quickly. Twitter is a great resource for them as well. The Roaming Hunger website (roaminghunger.com) and free iPhone app can also point you to nearby street food in a ton of U.S. cities.
Shuffle up some grub with Urbanspoon.
If you’re willing to play Russian roulette with your stomach, we’re also big fans of Urbanspoon (free for iPhone and iPad), which uses your iPhone’s GPS to produce listings and reviews of nearby restaurants. The slot machine–style shuffle mode is a great way to get new recommendations when you can’t decide what you want to eat.
Roaming Hunger can tell you where your next meal is parked.
