The Underrated Guide began with a vision to illuminate the outstanding music, arts, food, drink, and culture scenes in Second and Third cities. The cities that have a plethora of offerings that often go unnoticed. We are talking cities overshadowed by the overrated monoliths that we have come to love, revere, and at times dread due to the overpriced eats, costs of travel, and those other tourists that ruin it for the rest of us, and so on. You know what I’m talking about.

At times, the guide will explore additional facets of popular culture, mainstream content, and engagement through travel and exploration, the main focus will be on highlighting the underdogs, the roads less traveled, and the underrated places that go unfeatured.

Welcome to the Underrated Guide.
