Every city has
a local side.

For example: skip Times Square, take the G to Greenpoint.

Day plans built around where locals actually go. Like a friend in every city.

Made by Emma Berry in [city]. Why I’m building it

Neighbourhoods LocalSide can plan around include Greenpoint in New York, Alfama in Lisbon, Shimokitazawa in Tokyo, Roma Norte in Mexico City, Canal Saint-Martin in Paris, Peckham in London, Kreuzberg in Berlin and Trastevere in Rome.

The local side

Same city. Better day.

The tourist version

Seen it on a fridge magnet.

  • Noon in the main square
  • 90-minute queue, one photo
  • Dinner on the tourist strip

The local side

Seen it on a friend’s story.

  • Coffee with the regulars
  • The market, on market day
  • The park everyone picnics in

Every city has one.

New York is just our example.

    Coffee, thrifting, food, adventure.

  2. Pick a place.

    Any city, any dates, any budget.

  3. Get your days.

    Timed, mapped, yours to edit.
