Edinburgh's Cat-Like Tread Theater Company Launched the "111 Places Challenge"
It all started in Edinburgh. As a lead-up to their show in the Fringe Festival, a wonderful theater company called Cat-Like Tread set out to visit all 111 places in "111 Places in Edinburgh" within 111 days. They are the very first 111 Places Challenge Champions! And they launched the whole idea behind what we now call the "111 Places Challenge"!
Since then, we have had several fearless people take on the challenge!

Brant Duncan - 111 Places in New York That You Must Not Miss
Big City Brant is visiting all 111 places in the Big Apple! At this time, he's up to #63, and we are loving every one of his postings! Do read them on Instagram because he takes the time learn the stories behind the places he's visiting, and he shares them in his postings. Hopefully his insights and his great photos will inspire locals to step out of their own neighborhoods, and visitors to venture beyond Times Square and really see the hidden gems and secret places all over New York City!
