Cocktails, Parties, Concerts: Interview with Lyon CityCrunch

Hello! Can you introduce yourselves? Who are the people on the Lyon CityCrunch team? 

Hi! First of all, many thanks for giving us the opportunity to introduce ourselves! Lyon CityCrunch is a group of 10 dynamic and hedonistic bloggers who love their hometown and have shared its best features for quite a while - 8 years to be precise. Everyday at 5 PM, a brand new idea is published on our website: restaurants, bars, gigs, exhibitions, shops, etc. Although we are all genuine music lovers, we are specialized in trendy burger restaurants and cocktail bars! 

Can you give us a little background on living in Lyon? If we go out there, what is there to do? 

Life in Lyon? Come to visit us and you’ll see! So many things to do, so little time to enjoy everything… We are happy to live in a human-sized city which offers many possibilities: venues (Transbordeur, Sucrière, Periscope, just to mention our favorite ones), major music festivals, street art performances, alternative lifestyle events… The choice is yours. 

Living in Lyon is like putting together old fashioned smooth jazz and ambient/electronica in the same mixtape and enjoy both an eclectic and harmonious jam session. 

You guys also organize your own parties. Who should come to them? 

Indeed, we started organizing our own events last spring. We select a place we like and send last-minute invitations to share a pint with a dual objective: finding the best bars to make them known and helping our followers meet each other and make new friends. As a large part of our followers are young people who have just settled down in Lyon, the concept has been quite successful so far! 

You have other projects too, a spirit that we at Whyd appreciate, what else can we look forward to from Lyon CityCrunch

We are about to launch themed Whyd playlists to be attached to our next posts. For example, the “Torino” playlist for those who would like to read our Italian Week posts with an accurate background music.
