Don’t want to eat in a restaurant that shouldn’t really be open at all? UseDon’t Eat At.
Don’t Eat At was developed byMax Stollera NYU student, for theNYC BigApps competition, a competition to help New York City become more “transparent, accessible, and accountable.”
This app is very simple;
“Get a text message when you check into a restaurant that is at risk of being closed for health code violations”.
Don’t Eat At logs in using Foursquare and is unfortunately only currently available in New York.

It’s an interesting use of the Foursquare API, the app is able to detect your current location and sends you a text message if the restaurant has any violations.
Personally, I like the risk.
