Actually I could improve Yelp

Can Yelp Help Independent Restaurants Drive Chains Out of Business? - Business - GOOD: "More often than not, if you want to find a good restaurant, you’re going to Yelp it. While the individual reviewers may not be the most charming, in aggregate, they’re changing the restaurant market, creating new business for well-reviewed companies and cutting into the market share of chains."

Turns out I was schmoozing for loyal restaurants just yesterday. But Yelp was no help in actually doing what I needed, which was to find out the exact mileage (I walk). To do this I used GrubHub. Much better for actually enabling a search. Try it you will agree. But once you get the restaurant you want Yelp because it gets you to the menu quicker. Raising the question why either one of these sites cannot incorporate the capability of the other. And reminding us all that decent usable programming trumps everything else.
