Search for Places 
Alexa can search for places like restaurants and stores near you. 
To start, make sure you address is setup. 

Here’s how to do that: 
In the Alexa app,
go to the left navigation panel and select Settings. 
Select your device, then go to the Device Location section. 
Select Edit, then enter the complete address (including street name, city, state, zip). 
Select Save.

Once that is done, here are the command you can use to find places of interest: 
“Alexa, what {businesses/ restaurants} are nearby?” 
“Alexa, find me a nearby {businesses/ restaurants}.” 
“Alexa, what {businesses/ restaurants} are close by?” 

If you want to narrow you search to places that are highly rated on Yelp, try this: 
“Alexa, what are some top-rate {businesses/ restaurants}?” 

Once you find a place of interest, here’s how to get more information: 
“Alexa, find the address for a nearby {name of business/ restaurant}.” 
“Alexa, find the phone number for a nearby {name of business/ restaurant}.” 
“Alexa, find the hours for a nearby {name of business/ restaurant}.”

If Alexa has provided you with information about a specific restaurant or business, 
you can get additional details about it this way: 
“Alexa, what is the phone number?” or 
“Alexa, how far is it?” or 
“Alexa, they open?”
