Don’t try this in Chicago.
The dreaded surface lots in the background are about 70% full, so most of these were shot during weekday business hours.

In the major cities of North America, the ‘net-savvy (which includes most people under 50) consult Yelp.com, perhaps the internet’s leading user-review website, before getting a haircut, installing a set of tires, finding a cup of coffee, and certainly before dining out.
