Take Your Taste Buds on a Journey With These June Must Haves

The next time you dine out with a group of your girlfriends, eliminate the frustration of check splitting (and calculating the tip) by downloading Cover (free) and inputting your credit card info. Currently available at restaurants like Momofuku Ko, Northern Spy Co., and Charlie Bird in NYC and Dosa, State Bird Provisions, and dozens others in San Francisco, this app simplifies matters dramatically. Once you and your group are seated, check in to your table through Cover, dig into your meal, and let it calculate and pay the bill for you and your friends; no more waiting for your waiter to drop off the check.
