TripAdvisor has become our first choice when looking for a place to stay, eat, or go to in Asheville or any city we end up in. Urbanspoon was a close second, but since they have sold out to Zomato, things just have not been the same. We rarely visit Yelp anymore, but I have to say that they are putting a lot of effort into building a local review community lately.
