Are you talking travel or moving?

Moving: I find I do a lot of research online first. I look at the areas of the city that tend to be younger and vegan friendly. I try to find tech meetups/groups as a way to meet new people, get friends, and make business contacts. I explore a lot. Try new restaurants and businesses regularly, go out of my way to meet new people.

Actually I am talking in both of the case. In case of travel we generally take help of google or any of our friends, relative familiar with that place. But the process is really time consuming. I am seeking for a one place solution which can provide nice and relevant information regarding that place. As you replied in case of moving, when we have some narrow timeliness for our work then above solution is like a fail. but practically most of us like to go with this way only.
