Foursquare helps identify great places (restaurants, bars, pubs, shows, etc.) in a localized vicinity. Based on the things the user has previously liked, and other users’ endorsements, the app provides personalized recommendations for spots that suit the users' interests.
Interestingly, the most frequented places in America are all airports, though a look at the most popular venues by city illustrates a wider array of users' interests.
