You've been invited to contribute to an IRL City Guide — a niche cultural guide told through your personal lens, published on Substack and amplified across Refraction ᛥ IRL's audience of 76,000+ culture leaders.

What Is a City Guide?

A short, opinionated guide to 3–5 spots in your city, tied together by a unifying theme that reflects your scene, taste, and POV.

Title Examples

• 13 Queer-Friendly Dancefloors in New York, Chosen By Kim Anh
• 9 Spots to Drink the Best Sake in Tokyo with Shingo
• Patta's Guide to Black-Owned Businesses in Amsterdam

Not a generic city overview; but a deeply personal, niche cultural guide.
