Introduction

People travels for different reasons mainly for work, family or leisure. It helps to broaden one's horizon while maintaining the inner balance. In fact, travel to a new place brings unfamiliarity about the culture, food or even traditions of the place. Hence, Yelp Eat comes up to connects people with recommended local eateries or even based on their preferred choices in Ontario.
