On June 29, 2008 NYC DOT and MTA launched the Bx12 Select Bus Service (SBS). 10 years later, New York City now has 15 SBS routes citywide, providing service to about 2.5 million bus riders. SBS provides 10 - 30% faster bus services, more reliable service, & safer streets.

Taster is an interesting app that allows searching inside New York City restaurant menus for specific ingredients or dishes.

Unlike most restaurant review apps, we focus on the food. We know what it's like to be in the mood for a specific dish or ingredient, but searching the internet and going through dozens of menus was getting tiresome. So we built Taster.

Taster is currently in beta testing, but should be released on iOS in the coming months. Head over to the app page to sign up for notifications on its release.
