The 7:30 showing of American Psycho is sold out. (And you’re hungry!)

Your twenty-minute table wait at Pastis has been extended till, pardonnez-moi, further notice.

You’re craving moo shu, and you don’t want to walk more than an egg roll’s toss for it.

Maybe you’re just bored.

Enter Vindigo, the latest in Palm Pilot applications, a free personal navigation tool designed to shepherd you through such dire straits. The cyber analogue to a trusty (yet savvy) tour guide, Vindigo’s extensive database?composed of some 5000 listings and reviews?can tell you where and how to find almost anything in NYC. (For the geographically impaired, Vindigo also comes with detailed directions).

And as a nod to our best interests, the listings are broken down into the three essential imperatives in life: eat, shop, and play.

If only.
