Urbanspoon for Android makes picking a restaurant easy

The folks behind the popular Urbanspoon iPhone app (oh yeah, and web site), have launched an app for Google Android devices. Here's how it works. You want to pick a place to eat? Just fire up the Urbanspoon app, give your phone a good shake, and Urbanspoon will find a restaurant in your area.

Not looking for a completely random surprise? You can choose the neighborhood you're looking to dine in, hit the lock button, and Urbanspoon will randomly select a style of cuisine and a price level. Or you can lock in those categories, if say, you're looking for cheap vegetarian food in Old City Philadelphia.

If you don't actually want to shake your phone, you can also just hit the shake button.

One Urbanspoon finds a restaurant, you can call to make a reservation by tapping the phone number, read reviews by clicking the button at the bottom of the screen, or just read more about the restaurant by clicking the name.
