Four World Cities Make the Cut for New Foursquare Badges

December 28, 2011 at 10:12 AM | by | Comments (0)

London, Paris and Istanbul only just their own Foursquare badges, and now the location-based social networking app has gone even further afield with an additional four badges for more world cities. If you're traveling to New Orleans, Atlanta, Singapore or Sao Paulo, you're going to want to make sure you're not only hitting the top spots in the city, but that you're checking into them as well.

How to get the badges: First, follow 4sqCities, and just to be safe, it wouldn't hurt to also follow the individual city lists here: New Orleans, Atlanta, Singapore, Sao Paulo. Then travel to one or all of the cities and clickety-click to check-in to the places on the recommended lists. Five places earns the badge.

Now with a total of 8 city badges (a Chicago "Windy City" one has existed for a little longer than all the rest), Foursquare is still looking for more cities that deserve the creation of a badge and must-visit list. Suggest another city here.

SPOILER ALERT! Here's the unlock text for each of the 4 newest badges:

The Big Easy:
From po'boys on Bourbon Street to jazz at d.b.a., you've got N’awlins covered like steamboats on the Mississippi. We bet you live every day like Fat Tuesday. Or in the words of Weezy, you got cake every day like it’s yo birthday. Now go eat some pralines!

ATL:
You get sick to your stomach when you hear the word ‘Hotlanta,’ your city is also a forest, and you drive the Perimeter daily. Whether you call 404, the 770 or the 678 your turf, it’s always the home of the Braves. Start poppin’ those (Coke) bottles!

Lion City:
You know Singapore from the top of the Sands Skypark to the beaches of Sentosa! When you’re not shopping up a storm on Orchard Road, you’re zipping over on the squeaky clean SMRT to sample some BBQ Sambal Stingray at Chomp Chomp. You're so Tzai one.

Sampa:
You’ve got the looks of a real Paulistano! Que legal! The concrete jungle doesn’t intimidate you, nor do the crowds at the Praça da Liberdade. And just like this busy metropolis, you’re always setting the trends. Non dvcor, dvco!

Yea, we're still addicted to Foursquare; follow us for tips here!
