Companion site to Cities Ranked and Rated. Interesting article on cities ranked by incidence of respiratory illness.

FindYourSpot.com

Offers a quiz that results in a custom list of places "that fit you". The quiz is great in concept, and nicely constructed. However, I found that the results were heavily weighted toward smaller towns, and changing the priority settings did little to improve the results.

CitySearch.com

Dig into a city's culture, cuisine and more. Decent search options, and occasional articles on topics such as "Best Places for Singles" or "Non-smoking Night Clubs".
