The guys at GOOD always keep me entertained. Always challenging you to be better informed and to live life at a timbre not echoed by the majority. They've recently announced a competition for readers to create a local guide to their home city.

You know the type, the one you scrawl on a napkin for friends {or strangers} visiting from out of town. That edgy out of the way bar, the spot that fab local musicians jam in or that museum that not every tourist frequents.

I know I LOVE making such guides for visitors. But as can be expected MY guides often rotate around eateries, as in 'See the NY skyline at night from DUMBO but pop into the Ice Cream factory for a sweet treat' or 'Stroll down St Marks to see the former Camden Town of NY but pause at Cafe Mogador for amazing falafels, followed by the most delicious Lapsong Souchong Hot Toddy at PDT'.  Yep my guides always end near or around food spots. 

So if you were to submit a local guide, what spots in your town would you highlight?
