Moving to a new city (or even just relocating across College Station!) can leave you in an unfamiliar situation. You may not know anyone in your new neighborhood, let alone know the best places to eat, see live music, or where enjoy a night out on the town.
After your local moving company has unloaded the last of your boxes, and you’ve started to unpack, you’re left wondering where it is you should order in from-after all, moving can make you hungry!
Here are five apps that can help you adjust once you move to your new place!
Not only a place to leave reviews of the businesses you love, YELP! can help you find new places to eat, local events, laundromats, pharmacies, carwashes, and more! Using the YELP! app on your phone and using the location services can come in handy when you’re searching for something in your new neighborhood.
Whether you’re into raw foods, sports, gaming, or your dog, MeetUp is filled with tons of people who share your interests. By using this handy app, you can make new friends and meet people in your new town-not to mention learn where some really cool things are!
A great app for learning where the fun is in your town (as well as claiming deals and specials!) FourSquare can be a great help if you’re trying to get a feel for a place before you check it out. You can see who checks in at places near you, and once you start to make friends in your new place, you can keep up with them by using the FourSquare app!
So your all moved in and have decided to go out and explore your new city, but you’ve found yourself running low on gas-and famished! AroundMe is an app that uses your exact location to let you know what’s closest to you and you can find that gas station (and something to eat!) as fast as possible!
So we all know Twitter is a place for watching celebrity gossip unfold in real-time, but did you know you can use Twitter to find out what’s going on in your local area? Your movers in Plano just relocated your whole life across town-and now it’s time to dive in! You can sign up for Twitter and use the “What’s Trending” feature to find out what the big news is in your locality-including festivals, current events, news, and anything else that people near you are talking about!
Discovering your new surroundings after moving across town can be fun-and with the help of modern technology, now it’s easier than ever to figure out exactly where you want to go, all at the push of a button.
