A smartphone rests on a light-colored surface next to two glasses of iced tea. The phone screen displays the Zamonos website, which allows users to search for accessible places by selecting categories like mobility, cognitive, vision, hearing, medical, dietary, and societal. The search fields show “Pizza” in New York, NY, USA. The interface uses colorful buttons and icons for each accessibility category.
Zamonos.com uses 7 access categories—Mobility, Cognitive, Vision, Hearing, Medical, Dietary, and Societal—with 175+ features. Tag places or read reviews that match your needs. It’s the most detailed platform I’ve seen. Tomorrow: how to search and add it to your phone like an app!

An accessible bathroom with a wall-mounted toilet and handrails on both sides, plus space to transfer from either side. The sink has clear leg space underneath. Issues noted include a raised flusher that may be difficult to press, a mirror that may be too high for seated users, a dryer that may be hard to reach, and the absence of a visible soap dispenser. Text overlaid on the image, with both white and red backgrounds, depicts each of the access features, or lack thereof.
Our community has the power to make real change.
