Do you care about which Michelin-starred restaurants to try in Paris? Want to know about the hot, new bakery in Berlin? Where the good newsstands are in San Francisco? Then urbane, urban blog Gridskipper.com is strictly for discerning city slickers like you.

What's hot: The smart entries make you feel like a resident, not a tourist. And the site has lots of lists and themed itineraries with detailed maps showing the locations.

What's not: Beyond the top six cities, it's not easy to find entries geographically, although the search field works pretty well.
