Gridskipper - Urban Travel Guide Launches

Hello and Welcome to Gridskipper, your decadent travel guide to urban destinations around the world. I'm Andrew Krucoff and you may remember me from house guest stints on Gawker and Fleshbot. I didn't trash the place on either of those sites so they've decided to let me out of my room and set me loose on the world. Fueled by my attraction to the trashy (PBR and KFC picture above at NYC's Village Idiot R.I.P.) and the sophisticated (sure, I read the Economist and own a Comme des Garcons jacket) I hope to fill a gap in travel coverage by offering interesting and timely city guide info that isn't afraid to get dirty where others might hide in the shower of a Ramada Inn. A big part of this site will be reader tips, since we all know the best travel advice you'll ever receive is from a friend. Please send all tips, links, stories, photos, comments, site glitches, corrections, or anything you can think of to tips@gridskipper.com.. Thanks for reading, please check out the FAQ when you get a chance and feel free to smoke in the lavatory whenever you want.
