Need a personal trainer, babysitter, or home improvement help? Romio, a new start-up based right here in Tribeca, helps you find services recommended by friends and local experts. Romio ranks results based on the recommenders’ industry expertise, so your recommendations are always from the people who know best. Because a recommendation is only as good as the source.

Founder Tarik Sansal lives on Greenwich Street, so it’s obviously important to him that Tribeca be well represented on the site. This is where you come in: While you can browse Romio for recommendations now, the site is still bulking up, and it needs your input. Who would you recommend? You’re not just helping Romio users—you’re really helping the service providers, too. These are folks who depend on your good word for their livelihood, so do them a big favor and write a quick testimonial about what they’ve done for you. I did! And it felt nice!

••• Dog walker Will Lee
••• Asphalt Green Battery Park City swim instructor Erin Merritt
••• Hairstylist Tomohiro Nakamoto of Pas de Deux Salon

Of course, your recommendations don’t have to be only for Tribeca. Mine were because I rarely leave the neighborhood.

Try it! And I’ll run best Tribeca contributions in a subsequent post.

P.S. If you are a service provider, have your friends and clients recommend you!
