unlike.net - Alternative Online City Guides

Unlike.net is a new series of online city publications that are aimed at helping “visitors become locals.” The guides have a hip, urban feel and focus not on the main attractions in a city, but on more intimate things likely off the standard tourist radar. Content is categorized by Shop, Bar, Club, Food, Hotel, Culture, Art, Wellness, and Thrills. For example, you can find articles on the best underground record shops for vinyl, new independent clothing outlets, chic boutique hotels, or architectural highlight tours. The only unlike.net guide currently online is for Berlin, but Tokyo, Shanghai, Capetown, Los Angeles, Barcelona, and Vienna are scheduled for the next round of launches. Unlike.net boasts full mobile integration, so you can take your underground guide with you as you explore your new favorite city.
