HappyCow

Adopting a vegetarian diet may not work for everyone. But those who have tried these types of diets know too well about their health benefits. Some of these diets can help you lose weight and build a leaner and meaner body. Vegetarian diets can be quite strict so eating at every restaurant won’t always be an option. HappyCow is a useful tool that shows you where you can get your hands on vegetarian foods.

HappyCow is specially useful for those of you planning to travel to new cities without having to scramble to get your hands on vegetarian foods. It lets you find vegetarian and vegan foods all around you. You can view listings on a map and gain access to website and phone information for each business in HappyCow.

As you can see in the above screenshot, HappyCow listings clearly show you which businesses have foods that are compatible with your diet (even if you are on one of those strict diets). Users have the option to share the places they have visited and liked via Twitter, Facebook, E-mail, or SMS.

We would love to see more businesses added to this app’s listings. It is not a grand slam hit yet but has a lot of potential.
