We didn’t think it possible, but it seems Gridskipper may have tired of the city. For the last few years, the veteran travel blog from Gawker media has been known for its slick and often pleasingly snarky missives about the world’s most frequented urban destinations. But now that the blog has been acquired by Curbed and merged with The Beach blog, Gridskipper has announced its plans to switch gears and hole up in the Hamptons. At least, the announcement says, until fall, when it will reroute to Miami. There’s a theme here - and it’s sand and sun over sidewalks and subways. We really liked the old Gridskipper, but we’ll stick around long enough to give the new version a chance. One thing’s for certain, the Gridskipper folks are likely to end up with the best tans in the travel blogosphere.
