Londonist is one of thirteen sites 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:

  • Londonist checked out a new Banksy mural that had the Brit press engrossed, but spotted it was a fake.
  • Phillyist followed up on the story regarding a controversial play about a pedophile by posting a review. Verdict: no child abusers were glorified in the making of this production.
  • Torontoist is pawsitive you'll want to see their photos of dogs made up to look like celebrities from Heidi Klum to Billy Joel.
  • Shanghaiist found amazing videos of the Danish and United Kingdom pavilions at our world fair.
  • Bostonist saw lightning strike the top of the Prudential building and put Big Baby into gear.
  • Gothamist found that people go gaga when Lady Gaga goes to her sister's high school graduation or a Mets game where she flips off the papa-paparazzi (and somehow involving Jerry Seinfeld).
  • LAist wondered if fake chicken and other meats will become a trend in big chain restaurants.
  • Houstonist reflected upon this past weekend's Free Press Summer Fest, including finding a slew of videos from the two-day party in Tinsley Park.
  • SFist wept after hearing that the Muni Fast Pass will soon be a thing of the past.
  • Chicagoist celebrated (and celebrated and celebrated) the Blackhawks' Stanley Cup victory while a local man chose instead to celebrate former governor Rod Blagojevich with a tattoo.
