To get to know a city

The best way to get to know a city is to read about it, everything from fiction, to magazines, to articles, to watching movies etc. All major cities have their own magazine dedicated to providing information on the city, its culture, attractions, hotels, restaurants, real estate etc. Denver will soon have it's own online version of the Denver Magazine as well; the site is currently under maintenance and has only a basic listing of information though and will be up in full soon. I personally find these magazines, online or offline as great tools in moving and setting up home in a new city.
