There was more than just aircrafts and space shuttles to experience at the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum last night.

Urbantag has launched its website and iPhone app today

Hi fellow foodie followers,

I’ve been featured as one of the tastemakers for New York City on this really cool new site called Urbantag which has launched its website and iphone app today.

I’m using urbantag to bookmark and share places I love. I’ve built a great map NYC Hot Spots that you can view here: http://urbant.ag/7TFqq.

We’ve all shared emails and recycled lists of recommended spots – either for an insider’s travel tips to a city, or simply where to eat a good meal in a specific neighborhood. Urbantag gives you a single platform and a beautiful way to share and bookmark places with your trusted network, and discover the world around you.

Check out my map on urbantag at http://urbant.ag/7TFqq

Let me know what you think. Once you follow my map, you can also access on the go by downloading the iPhone app here.

What kind of urbantag maps do you think I should make next?
