Abstract: A location based venue recommendation is described. A selection of a location (such as a current or destination location) provided by a user is captured. A selection of a category (such as a restaurant, a café, a bar, a market, a bakery, a park, or a retail store) provided by a user is also captured. An attribute (such as a need or a preference) of the user is also determined. A venue information provider is queried with the selected location and category and the attribute of the user. A venue recommendation is received from the venue information provider. A venue associated with the venue recommendation is in a proximity to the selected location, is within the selected category, and a feature of the venue accommodates the attribute of the user. Furthermore, the venue recommendation is displayed to the user.
