We all know how easy it is for vegans to dine out, with options popping up everywhere from five-star resorts to Chipotle. But people who are just coming around to the vegan way of eating or are thinking about making the switch could probably use some helpful hints about which restaurant dishes are vegan or could easily be made so.
Enter foursquare, an app for iPhone, Android, and more that allows users to “check in” when they are at restaurants or other public places and leave helpful comments.
How can you use foursquare to help animals? Simply share vegan tips with prospective patrons—comments such as “The vegan chicken fajitas rock” or “The faux-sausage and vegan-cheese pizza is awesome.”
Got a good recommendation? Then share it!
It’s easy. Just check in on the restaurant’s foursquare page:
Leave your tips:
And other users can see your tip when they check in:
It’s handy for seasoned vegans, too, when we’re traveling or just trying out a new restaurant. And if you check in at your favorite place often enough, you can become the “mayor” of the venue on foursquare. Some restaurants give discounts and freebies to their mayors. Who doesn’t love free food?

Too long to explain here, it's long enough for a novel.
Father loves to farm, be self sustainable, loves to read, he's a antiques/vintage auctioneer, art student, and looks like mr. Rogers. My mother is a Montessori teacher and is amazing with children, all about local organic foods, loves gardening, cooking etc. my sister who is nine years older than me was into indie music and introduced me to all sorts of things at a young age. This all rubbed of on me and from that base I grew into similar things. I'm an INFJ
I'm tall, a geek, nacho - obsessed, I love sewing and Cath Kidston, also I'm vegetarian (wannabe vegan.)
Well let's just say life ain't always beautiful but it's a beautiful ride. I love all my pets and would do anything for them. I have one dog, two cats, a ferret and my babygirl shaymin,(the cutest hedgehog alive) I'm into all different kinds of music. I'm a singer myself and love art.
I love animals about as much as rock, heavy metal, tea, and coffee. Hoping to make a difference and help animals through PETA!!!
I want to get into marketing but not have to rely on people which have different morals and worldviews than I do to hire me. While I'm figuring this out, I want to show everyone what I believe in and spur them into action against injustices.

I am Angela. When I am not helping animals I am listening to music, reading, or playing video games. My spirit animal is a fox and I love nature. What else is there to know? Want to know anything about me, need advice or anything message me :)
