Tops on hot spots in London and Los Angeles
SITE thepurplepassport.com
DESCRIPTION Quick takes on London and Los Angeles
TARGET AUDIENCE Travelers to Merry Olde England or La La Land
BOTTOM LINE We want more
If Yelp had a CliffsNotes, thepurplepassport.com would be it.
You get the no-frills lowdown on what's hip and cool in Los Angeles and London. Browse the collection of hotels, spas, restaurants and shops. Register to create a "passport" of your list of faves as you read through the recommendations. The quick, irreverent descriptions were spot-on when we found hot spots we'd already frequented. Co-founders Emily T. Chang and Jennifer Garcia-Alonso and their staff say they pay their own way when reviewing venues.
Only two cities are included, and although the site posts many reviews, we wanted more.
Beijing, New York, Paris, Palm Beach, Fla., Chicago and other cities are coming soon, the site says, but who wants to wait?
