Emailed to Boston: Born To Purple
With a name that pays homage to the days of purple-cloaked royalty, this Boston-based online street wear boutique gives you a chance to climb the sartorial ladder by only offering what they consider the best of the best in sneaker and t-shirt labels, which are purposefully kept limited, like girl babies in China.
Become the purple one

Emailed to Miami: WorstPizza
From a guy who grew up touring Long Island's mother lode of pizza joints with his grandpa, and later became haunted by the question, "why do some pizza places suck?", deceptively-named WP sojourns South Florida to tirelessly critiques slice spots great and small, so you don't have to, breaking down each pie's experience with a tongue for detail and an eight-wedge rating format that's astoundingly similar to how Kirstie Alley home-scores the Olympics (they all win!).
See, LA doesn't have the worst pizza!
Emailed to Philly: Parse.ly
