UYE TOS

I drafted this blog since February. Most of UYE hosts disagreed with me on writing reviews on UYE, they rather write on the biz page. I recently noticed this new category "Unofficial Yelp Events" on biz page categories. I was so excited.  I'm happy that HQ is seeing the value of such event. This also distinguish from being Yelp Events, but wasn't hosted by CM.

There are sources on the Event Terms of Service explaining about UYE and the article explaining to biz owners. 
Rules for UYE... Ooooh...

In short, I used Q&A format to summarize the idea:
Why do you need a UYE page?
It's a good idea to leave your UYE experience outside of the official biz page. A separate UYE page allows your guests to post photos and feedback on a review. If you choose not to, just be mindful how you describe the occasion.

What exactly is UYE?
According to the Event Terms and Conditions, "members of the Elite Squad and the Yelp Community organize their own meet-ups and events."

What does Yelp say about UYE?
As an UYE organizer, I encourage you to follow the guideline from Event TOS, "you agree to (a) promote it as such, and (b) not create the impression that it is sponsored or endorsed by Yelp. All terms and conditions relating to Non-Yelp Events apply equally to UYEs".

Who can sponsor UYE?
UYE's are mostly sponsored by Elite Yelpers, but any Yelpers can organize one. Just remember, as indicated on the TOS, "UYEs are Non-Yelp Events and are not sponsored or endorsed by Yelp, even when they are promoted on the Yelp website."

Foodie Adventure PGH Edition 2023

Image
Ever since my coworker Chang Shu from Northeast Division said she was interested to learn about how I host Chinatown Crawl events, I began to show her how I host these types of foodie events. But explaining in emails is very limited. I decided to do it in person. On October 29, 2023, I took a group of coworkers to a Foodie Adventure in Squirrel Hill Pittsburg Pennsylvania.  Finally meeting everyone in person as we planned virtual events during Covid Back in May, me and my foodie friend, Nahun booked our airfare to visit Pittsburgh. After chatting with Chang, I learned Squirrel Hill as the area of interest. I started to plot my plan on which restaurants to feature.  Few months later, I created a Google Map with restaurants that I thought might be a good fit for this progressive-dinner event. She started to share the event with her teammates and contacts. Meanwhile, I started to read the restaurants reviews on Yelp and get familiar with the area. For the ease of RSVP to the event, I cre

North Golden Sun Plaza

Image
Here is a newfound strip mall that resembles a strip mall in Chinatown. It's called North Golden Sun Plaza ( Google  |  Yelp ) in North Houston. The zip code should be 77014, but many still using 77068 because it's separated by a street. The street address is 3645 Cypress Creek Parkway, aka FM 1960 W, between TC Jester and Walter Road. According to an article on  Chron.com , North Golden Sun Plaza was established when Sun's Club moved in 2015 after Wal-mart moved across street (zip code 77068). Then, the lot owner expanded from one building to this horseshoe-shaped 3 buildings. Thanks to the Facebook folks who live around this area for the history and the proper street name of Cypress Creek Parkway. FM 1960 was renamed within last few years ( article on ABC13.com ). Therefore, you'll see some newer businesses are using Cypress Creek Parkway on their business cards. Either way is correct. However, not many business owners attach their suite number on their marketing
