Love this: Last week, I wanted to go to a new restaurant that’s always packed. I used OpenTable to make a reservation, but the only openings were weeks from now. I booked one, and then I noticed a new button for Notify me, which adds you to the list in case someone cancels. Yup, we got in.
🚘 Check your car now: About one in five cars (58.1 million!) is driving around with an open recall. Check if yours is one of them on the NHTSA website. Enter your license plate or 17-digit VIN and hit Search. There are tabs for car seats, tires and other equipment recalls, too. Drive safely!
A new feature to try: Google can call businesses for you with questions about prices and availability. Go to Search Labs and hit Turn on. When you search for a store, you’ll see Ask for me under the map. Press Get Started, answer a few questions, and enter your email or phone number for updates. It’s in beta and works for nail salons and auto shops for now.
