NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Gilt City, the leading online lifestyle site, announced that Ben Widdicombe has joined the team as Editor-in-Chief of a new editorial site, www.cityunlisted.com. CityUnlisted.com will provide compelling editorial content for those seeking premium experiences, insider access and a trusted reference source in major cities nationwide.
“It’s a vision of the city as you want it to be,” says Widdicombe. “In a career writing about fashion, entertainment and culture I have been lucky enough to experience the best of what New York and other cities have to offer, and I want to show the readers of Unlisted how they can live that life, too. I hope Unlisted will also entertain as much as it informs, providing smart advice with a light touch.”
Unlisted will be a discovery guide for readers and will include such sections as “Breakfast Epiphanies,” a wry take on the day’s must-know news; “HiLo,” outlining high-value city experiences at all price points for readers; “Buy Curious,” showcasing one Gilt Groupe offer each day; as well as daily features of topical interest.
