I stumbled upon Thrillist thanks in part to URB’s blast recommending that new new, and since it’s URB, and they’ve never steered me wrong (and because I’m slightly biased since I was a short-lived intern), I went ahead and sold my soul and subscribed to the list.
With witty remarks to help you get through your day and give you an ego boost such as “your manhood is stupendous,” “you’re just too handsome” or “you’re getting laid tonight,” on top of recommending the freshest digs and good eats in your respective area, what more can you ask for in a blast?
If you don’t believe me, here’s what the site has to say:
“Each weekday, we’ll drop you a must-have recommendation, from the best of what’s new, to deeply under-the-radar goodness. We’re talking absinthe-only cocktail spots, eateries that dish up BBQ Rattlesnake Salad and Reindeer in Bourbon Sauce, and ATMs whose currency is marijuana — handy, although after making a withdrawal, you’ll feel even more paranoid about the stocking repercussions of consuming Santa’s only friend.
We only cover what we like.
We’re not going to waste our time or yours with things that suck — you already have your job for that. So we don’t write reviews, just recommendations, and because we painstakingly wade through the crap to unearth greatness, you get exclusively the best of your city’s food, drinks, gear, services, entertainment, travel options, and events, like booze cruises, and a divine concept surely birthed on a booze cruise — stripper cruises. “
Nuff said.
