Torontoist is one of thirteen cities in the worldwide Gothamist network. Each Sunday, the editors of every site—from LAist to Londonist—choose their most interesting article, a list that is compiled into the network-wide feature Elsewhere In The Ist-a-Verse.

• LAist was just getting over Coachella when they found this video of a naked would-be wizard getting tasered by cops at the concert.
• DCist wasn’t crazy about a local magazine cover that featured a Photoshopped, shirtless President Obama.
• Shanghaiist explored one of the city’s largest Muslim markets and stuffed themselves with lamb and pilaf.
• Bostonist drooled over delicious (Southern) food and drink, from chicken bourbon to cheddar grits.
• Chicagoist hopes former governor Rod Blagojevich took note of their suggestions for other reality shows because a judge declined Blago’s request to go to Costa Rica to participate in I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Outta Here (though that didn’t stop Blagojevich from filming a promo for the show).
• Gothamist spoke to MSNBC host Rachel Maddow about her show, the gift of the populist tea bag protests and pre-prohibition cocktails.
• Phillyist ran away with the circus.
• Londonist went dragon-spotting to celebrate St George’s day.
• Seattlest visited the 1960s this week, with John Steinbeck’s visit to the Pike Place Market and the car that goes with the Space Needle, the never-built 1962 Ford Seattle-ite XXI.
• SFist was surprised to hear SF Mayor and California Gubernatorial candidate Gavin Newsom defend Miss California.
