Metrotwin.com - New York Twinned With London

The premise behind this site is a simple yet practical one: by twinning the best places in New York and London, the site visitor can use what he knows about one city to explore the other. The recommendations that can be found online come from locals that volunteer their opinions, and these include bloggers and online communities based in the concerned cities.

Every place that is recommended receives a score, as given by the users of the site. This score is updated in real time, and it goes from 0 to 100. A “Top Places Right Now” section is featured on the main page, and it serves the purpose of spotlighting the locations that attract the most attention. A “Top 5 places” section is also included to these effects.

Navigation is made smoother by a set of categories that can be accessed anytime. These include “Arts & Entertainment”, “Hotels”, “Bar, Clubs & Pubs” and “Shopping” to name just a few.

On the other hand, a link is provided for those who want to become contributing editors to the site and recommend places of note they are acquainted with both in London and the Big Apple.
