Our handy pocket guides make all your pocketship dreams come true!

We are working on creating crowd-sourced pocket guides to cities around the world. If you have favorite pocket food in mind, please share below, along with a short description of where they can be found. We'll include them in our roundup when we launch this section of our site.
