Who doesn’t love food?! 

I grew up in a household where my parents did not tolerate picky eaters. I ate anything and everything AND enjoyed it. Besides liver and some certain Filipino delicacies (balut being one of them--comment if you have no idea what that is!), there is nothing that I wouldn’t try. Naturally, it became second nature for me to start a Yelp account. I started off by writing a few reviews here and there of places that I would go to eat with friends. Then, I started to explore on my own and look for cool new places to try. It’s become second nature for me to look to Yelp for reviews of new restaurants and businesses to see if it is worth trying out. It makes searching for date nights easier so we can look up the type of food and pictures as well. I also like to explore different places in the different cities I tend to visit. This came in handy when  I was in Europe last fall when looking for the best restaurant and dessert places. Yelp also includes other businesses as well, such as shopping centers, gyms, and parks to name a few.

I started my Yelp account in 2013 because I wanted to “check in” to places like the rest of my friends. It’s become so much more than that now. In early 2014, I received a message from the Hampton Roads Community Manager to consider applying for Yelp Elite, and I graciously accepted. The perks of being an Elite member is that I get invited to special Yelp Elite events that are held at various new establishments. Unfortunately, I have only been able to attend a couple events due to my work schedule. I hope to renew my status in 2016 and be able to be a more active Yelp Elite member! 

Google any restaurant you can think of. I guarantee that you will see the Yelp page within the first few results. I enjoy being part of the Yelp community because it helps make my life easier. The reviews come from every day people, and I’ve trusted a majority of the reviews I have seen. Don’t forget to check Yelp the next time you’re in a rut and have no idea where to go!
