Elsewhere in the Ist-a-Verse
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.

- Chicagoist stepped back into yesteryear and then stepped into Chef Rick Bayless’s garden.
- LAist explored the issue of immigration reform and deportations—and the fact that California is home to one quarter of the nation’s illegal immigrant population.
- SFist visited Dore Alley, the city’s annual hardcore fetish street fair.
- Londonist travelled back in time a century to discover that their city was bombed
from giant airships. Back on terra firma, they gave London’s new cycle hire bikes a spin. - Seattlest toasted a legendary local mixologist for bringing home “best bartender in America” honors from the Tales of the Cocktail festival in New Orleans.
- DCist spent its week watching the city clean up from a massive thunderstorm. (But no power outage was going to stop this guy from making sure we all heard his thoughts on the Washington Post‘s editorial board.)
- Gothamist found out that a judge feels wearing saggy pants is not a crime (though it may be foolish). Shockingly, Mayor Bloomberg, who has proscribed how New Yorkers should eat, drink, and inhale, agrees!
