Londonist is one of thirteen in the worldwide Gothamist network. Once a week, the editors of each site - from SFist to Shanghaiist - compile some of their most interesting posts into a neat digest. Check out what's been going on elsewhere in the ist-a-verse:

Gothamist was aghast at the cruel April Fool's Day joke where pranksters told New Yorkers that an In-N-Out Burger was coming.

Torontoist tooka brief tour of a 300-square-foot house. Yours for only $179,000.

Shanghaiist examined the problem with zoos in China—they're underfunded, underregulated and some of them are selling off their tigers to make the certainly illegal tiger bone wine.

Chicagoist got caught up in the kerfuffle over a state politician who said he "doesn't really worry about the Constitution" when it comes to health care reform.

LAist went aboard Worldfare, LA's first "bustaurant"—a double decker bus that serves everything from South African street food to high-end steakhouse eats.

Bostonist helped plan a tea party counter-protest to Sarah Palin's impending visit.

DCist took note when French President Nicolas Sarkozy and wife Carla Bruni stopped by historic local eatery Ben's Chili Bowl for a half-smoke.

Phillyist staffer Allison Krumm embraced her Jersey roots at a recent Bon Jovi concert.

Londonist was boggled by Anish Kapoor's plans to build a rival to the Eiffel Tower in London, then went to watch the Oxford versus Cambridge Goat Race.

SFist celebrated Passover with several of its almost-delicious kosher lunch options.

Seattlest waxed philosophic on the weekend's most important holiday, the Japanese Penis Festivals.
