Birdie was founded by Lauren Rosenthal, a serial efficiency aficionado obsessed with food, travel and streamlining. She loves a good meal, and hates wasting time! After spending way too much of it searching foodie sites and struggling to keep all her personal restaurant recommendations organized, she came up with the idea for Birdie.
Never before has there been a quick and simple place to share, rate and explore restaurants and bars. Less time researching, more time experiencing.
