Google Now is starting to give Foursquare place recommendations whether you have the Foursquare app installed or not. Foursquare cards will now show you tips about restaurants, public parks, coffee shops, and more.

Currently, Foursquare isn't listed as a supported Google Now integrations card, but is, somehow, still working. Foursquare has not commented, but it's looking like they will be working with Google in the future.

With the Foursquare cards you can do things like walk past a park and a Foursquare card will pop up suggesting things like “have a picnic”. At this time, not everyone will be able to see Foursquare cards, but we would imagine they will be rolling out to everyone shortly.
