Whether you want to hit the town and check out the coolest nightspots, or you’re looking for a quiet way to spend the day with your kids, every major city has a long list of attractions and venues that promise to suit your purposes. There are often so many, in fact, that staying on top of things is next to impossible!
If you’re planning to head out on the town in the near future, here are five tools for going out that will help you to make the very most of your day or night:
1. Facebook

When it comes to connecting with friends, even in real life, there is no better tool at your disposal than Facebook. No matter what you’re doing, there is a good chance that you’ll be wanting to include a friend or two in on the action, and Facebook will allow you to easily plot and plan not only via simple messages and chat, but through their advanced event planning pages, as well. These pages take only a moment to create, and give you the space that you need to divulge information like time and place based around any event you like, whether it is one of your making or not.
Besides making connecting and event planning easy, Facebook is also home to many businesses and groups that use the social media network to promote their own presence. This means that you’ll often be able to find information and intimate details on potential targets for a day or night of fun straight from the source, alerting your friends to the same as you go. Besides being a great source of information, these Facebook pages also sometimes feature coupons and other ways to save, helping to make your time out cheaper than you had planned!
2. Twitter

While it may rank a distant second in the social media sphere as far as connecting with friends goes, Twitter is a favorite spot for restaurants, events, bars, clubs, and other venues to offer up information and deals, making it a great place to look for new things to do – or new ways to enjoy favorite haunts!
3. Classifieds

While they may be considered outdated in the age of digital media, the classifieds section of your local newspaper is still sure to be a great way to keep tabs on the latest happenings in your town or city, giving you advance notice when it comes to everything from kid-friendly events like parades, to adult-themed venues like concerts and nightclubs.
4. Local Entertainment Websites

Just like local classifieds, most cities will have a website or two dedicated to nothing but local events and venues, and these can prove to be the most valuable sources for tips on having a good time when going out! Whether you live in a relatively small town or a major urban center, you can bet that there is at least one personal website or blog aiming to provide information on happenings around town, giving you a heads up when cool new events are coming up, while also providing you with a place from which to retrieve the details that you need to make the very most of them.
5. Nightlife Apps

Given just how popular enjoying a taste of the nightlife is, there are thousands of apps that have sprung up in order to make the task an easier and more enjoyable one, instantly turning your smartphone itself into the ultimate tool for going out! Wine List Finder is a good example of websites like that.
There are far too many event-oriented apps to discuss each individually here, but rest assured that, no matter where you live, the app store associated with your particular brand of mobile is sure to have a wide selection of apps that help to keep you in the loop as far as entertainment is concerned!
