Have you heard of 313rd.com?

I did not until I read about it in metromedia.com

Raji Bedi a Southfield/Farmington resident has a
entertainment website 313rd.com He launched the website three years ago after graduating from the University of Michigan, where successfully promoted parties for four years at school. And he thinks facilitating social connections between 20- and 30-somethings might just help save Detroit. As he looked into the local social scene, he found that it was pretty difficult to uncover good, unbiased information about the restaurant and club scene. "It was hard to find basic information on what there is to do, so I decided to put it together myself," he says.

And 313rd was born.
So what exactly is 313rd.com about
The site provides everything from basic listings and maps to local hotspots to reviews, event ticketing and directions. There's a search function that allows users to enter cross streets or even to type in the name of a street and a nearby landmark so that you can find what you need. For example, let's say you're thinking of checking out a restaurant you once saw but can't remember its name. All you know is that it's near the Taco Bell on Woodward in Ferndale. 313rd.com allows you to type "Taco Bell", "Woodward" and "restaurant" and then generate a list of nearby eateries.

"The site is constantly evolving – it gets smarter as people use it," Bedi says. "We can tell if everyone is looking at specific nightclub and know that's the hot nightclub we should be promoting."
