Love maps? Like to travel? Then cybershuffle on over to our Gawker Media sister (brother?) blog, Gridskipper, and check out the launch of the site's new Gridskipper Maps feature. Maps, in fact, are what Gridskipper is all about now, the better to focus on the "chic hotels, hot restaurants, sweet nightlife and pretty people" in six core cities (New York, L.A., San Francisco, Sydney, Paris, Berlin). What can you expect? Well, in addition to the best places to smoke in L.A., you can find out where to sip Bloody Marys in Williamsburg, eat steak frites in Paris, and the nicest outdoor dining spots in San Francisco. Go forth and eat, drink, and be merry.
