pubwalk.com

website of the month: pubwalk.com. mashes up Google Maps and Citysearch to show all boozing establishments near a specified address and allows you to build a customized pub crawl route with directions from each joint to the next and estimated walking and drinking times. there's even a streamlined interface for getting the directions on your phone. brilliant.

here's an example crawl of the Lower Haight bars nearest my house.

a few bars are missing - most notably Zeitgeist and Mad Dog in the Fog, dunno what's up with that - but the developer says he's working on it. i also want a permalink feature so that i can bookmark a map with my home address as the starting location. but that stuff is minor. i gotta call a bender to try this out!
