Street Foodies Unite!

This has been posted and sent around, but just for my reference, I also wanted to give some space to Platial. It was noted initially for its ability to generate a street food map (I suppose I should submit the obvious oversight of the Dosa Guy in Washington Square Park), but I like that it is simply a democratic way for people to mark their favorite vernacular places. All Google Maps carry an element of that, but the purpose behind the site says more. I like that it does so in a sensible way, less W. Benjamin-y than glowlab, though I like that technique too.

I for one can't wait until someone with enough time and energy and tech know-how maps these great places, since the descriptions that people send in are so fun.
