Add Your Own

Responding to Matt's post about local businesses that suck, reader Mark Hurst sent me the URL for this neato site he created: Add Your Own, which is kinda like a Wiki for local restaurant reviews - that is, it allows Brooklynites (and people in other cities) to post comments on local joints and to edit others' comments. The reliance on anonymity has fired up my bullshit detector; at least a few of the comments are no doubt by people affiliated with the restaurants (see, for example, Joya and Cafe Shane) But there are enough credible reviews to make this a helpful site, especially when it comes to sorting through the new places in the 'hood.
