Info Post
Editor’s Note: Now and then we'll spotlight one of our amazing Google Places reviewers. Both so you guys can start to get to know one another and so we can pull together and share our favorite local places. This week we introduce you to Tom Critchlow of Brooklyn.

To find out more about our community activities in New York, follow us on Twitter or Facebook


Tom moved here 6 months ago for work and absolutely loves it. A former Londoner, he “can definitely say that NYC is better than London,” (No offense to our teammates across the pond, of course!). A resident of Boerum Hill, Brooklyn, Tom likes to hang out in Union Square and Greenwich Village in Manhattan, as well as in Park Slope and Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

What do you like to do in your spare time?
Being new to the city I spend a lot of time going out to new places I've not been to yet. As winter draws in I'm excited about spending more time indoors at art galleries and museums. Since moving to NYC I've started rock climbing at the Brooklyn Boulders too which is an excellent way to get in shape, have fun and meet awesome people.

What's your favorite thing about sharing reviews on Places?
 Helping other people find great places and giving more business to places that deserve recognition.
 

If you could see any celebrity's reviews on Places, who would you choose and why?
I think Woody Allen's reviews would be pretty funny.

What would your superpower be?
Flight. Obviously. Though that apparently says much about me.

What's your ultimate guilty pleasure?
Brunch and scotch. Not usually together.

Ah, his movies include some of our favorite spots! Speaking of great places, how about sharing some local favorites with us?

The Brooklyn Inn - Amazing atmosphere, open late - great old school feel to the place with great beers and a pool table. Opens late so a real regular hangout.

Brooklyn Boulders - Excellent rock climbing gym. It's massive, lots of great facilities and amazing atmosphere and community.

Smalls - Excellent jazz venue. Awesome atmosphere. $20 entry but you can stay all night. Opens late.

High Dive - Good beers, free popcorn and a wide array of board games. Awesome.

Rucola - Wonderful food, excellent service and lovely intimate atmosphere.
