    To go along with the healthy food guide,City Maps is a great tool to use for finding those healthy restaurants. I love it because it is a virtual map of the city, and you can click on any business, like a restaurant, and find out everything from user reviews to happy hour specials… its so much info in one website and it really helps me stay on track with a healthy lifestyle.
