Foursquare has just announced the launch of their new foursquare Explore feature, which makes it easy to find personalized places to eat, shop and play, based on your and your friends’ past check-ins.

It’s a pretty cool way to explore your area by entering a type of cuisine or activity, and finding out what’s nearby to satisfy your craving. We especially like the “I haven’t been to yet” check-box which allows you to eliminate places with which you’re already familiar.

Check it out and let us know what you think!
