Info Post
It’s hot out there! So to cool off this summer, I’m heading straight to Google Places to find some much-needed relief nearby.

Forget the hot latte, I need an iced coffee, stat. So on Google Maps, I check out “iced coffee” locations near the Google San Francisco office. My friend Cass recommends Blue Bottle Coffee — famous for its iced coffee concoction, the New Orleans, according to reviews by Places users.


I’ll be sure to star that Blue Bottle location on Maps so I can have it handy whenever I need to find my way back to it.

Now I need a place to take a dip. I live in the San Francisco Bay Area, so when I search Google Maps for “beach” on my Nexus S, one of the top results is San Gregorio Beach, recommended to me by my friend Nathan:


After my trip to the beach, I’m going to need some good old fashioned froyo to top off my day. A quick search for “froyo near palo alto” on my phone again brings up a few choices. Perfect: my friend Jen recommends Lamour Frozen Yogurt, saying:


Ah, relief. How are you beating the heat this summer? Share the gems you’ve been discovering and reviewing on Google in the comments.
