confused with product types and catagories

I am planning a resturant review site, and I know reviewpost was designed for "products" and I see I have to do some tweaking to make it work, but I am confused over Product Types and Catagories

Correct me if I am wrong, but a Single Product type links to a single Catagories, but a Catagories can have more then one product type?

But you can only have custom fields in the catagories, not the produt types?
This seems backwards to me.

The layout I thought of:

Location (I guess this wold be product type, since it is the first question)
Name or Resturant (I guess this would be catagory)

But if I do this way, once I click on New York, I then have to choose a catagories or name of resturant which wouldn't exist yet!

All I want to be able to do is enter many different resturants, and have them organized by city/state

Am I missing something?

Is there a way to disable the whole "Product Type" Function? Where I can just create my locations as catagories?
