Makes a lot of sense. Thanks for the feedback. I have the luxury of a full 1080p when I do design... I'll update this :P
Yep it's somewhat of a curse for those developing on high resolutions screens - I have a dual 1600x2560 and 1200x1920 setup but keep my trusty 1024x768 X61 around for testing and the occasional couch surfing ;)
Wow, this is an awesome looking site - wish I lived in one of those cities.
I am running on a resource-constrained computer right now - my only complaint is the JavaScript seems a bit slow - scrolling on the main page is choppy. Might be worth profiling on lower-end machines a bit to smooth some of that out.

Thanks for the feedback! Where do you live? I'll work hard to get whichever city it is!
This looks awesome. Really pretty, and definitely a service I would use if I lived in one of the available cities, especially if you can maintain the quality of the recommendations.
How did you get the seed data (i.e. the initial set of recommendations)?

BTW layout is seriously screwed up on http://upout.com/nyc/do/date-night-kafana-seriouseats, FF 5 on Mac.
We aggregate and curate from a set of RSS feeds. Curation is primarily manual
Very cool site, I've been thinking about something like this for a while now. It might be helpful to view the events on a calendar so you can plan things out or easily check out what's going on over a few weekends.
Yeap. Calendar view is definitely on our list of things to do. In the mean time, you can click "This Weekend" in the filters section to get things available for this weeekend.
I love it! It would help if I can edit the fonts when describing the event/place, to make it more reader friendly.
it is a cool site only one bug i saw is when you click on the city to change city, there is no cancel button and i had to reload the page to get out of it, otherwise a cool site which it had more things then just restaurants and night clubs, but i do like the free section very nice touch
Thanks! We'll be adding more stuff on the site as we go along
AWESOME
I'll be on this thread all day. I would love some feedback too!
"It's 4:24pm, get up and go out." Best call to action of life
Unfortunately for you, it has prompted me to go find some dinner and stop giving you more feedback ;-)

Haha! Thanks for the feedback on the CTA.
Keep your RESTful readable: www.upout.com/tor -> www.upout.com/toronto
If you want short URLs, try using the airport 3 letter tag (tor -> yyz)

When I click 'sign up' it takes me to an 'about page' with the sign up form in the middle below a little explanation of the site.
On my notebook with a resolution of 1024x768 the form is actually below the fold in Chrome (I have a double row task bar).
I'd put the sign up form above the fold as the main focus of that page as that is what users normally expect from clicking on the 'sign up' link.
