Staying City-Savvy and In-the-Know (This Post Sponsored by Shecky's)
Since Shecky's covers many of the same locations TheInsiderTravelGuides.com frequents, including New York City, Boston and San Francisco, it is hardly surprising that we cross paths all the time. What we like: their focus on nightlife, their "hot list" of noteworthy restaurants and bars, and their shopping and beauty events (famous especially for the bountiful "goodie bags"). Want to know know what's happening now and where the best scene is tonight? Shecky's got the answer, along with suggestions about what to wear and which lipstick to apply before you head out the door. Don't have time to search through their listings for the latest news? Not to worry! Simply sign up for their free emails, and you'll receive daily updates about new openings, great events, plus the hottest products and trends.
But as much as we admire Shecky's, we do have to admit that they do some things better than others. For example, the New York City site is full of listings, well organized by neighborhood and genre; but we find that some other cities are not covered as completely. And there is not getting around the fact that their upbeat, fawning tone can grate on you after a while. In the end, though, these are quibbles, really, for a site that for the most part, delivers on its promise to keep you "city-savvy and in-the-know."
