⚡ ABOUT KICKLIKE
NO LIKES. JUST KICKS.
Founded in 2026. Born from boredom and bad recommendations.
OUR VISION
We believe the best things in life aren't optimized, reviewed, or rated. They're just... done. Kicklike is the anti-influencer. No likes, no followers, no clout. Just 500 real plans across 45 cities that actually deliver.
THE PROBLEM
Every travel site shows you the same 10 attractions. Every "local guide" is sponsored. Every listicle is written by someone who visited for 48 hours. We got tired of pretending that walking across the Brooklyn Bridge at noon is a "secret local tip".
THE SOLUTION
We spent 18 months talking to bartenders, superintendents, postal workers, and retired professors. We found the hole-in-the-wall jazz club that doesn't have a website. The taco truck that only appears after midnight. The bookstore where the owner remembers your name. We verified every single plan. No filler. No pay-to-play. Just kicks.
OUR PROMISE
Real places. We visited every location. If it's on Kicklike, it exists.
Real variety. From $2 slice joints to Michelin-starred tasting menus. From tourist traps that are actually worth it to hidden spots only 12 people know.
Zero algorithm. We don't optimize for engagement. We optimize for that feeling when you find something you weren't looking for.
THE TEAM
We're two designers, one developer, and a photographer who drove 14,000 miles across the US to shoot these places. We don't have investors. We don't have a monetization plan. We just have 500 kicks and a belief that discovery shouldn't feel like work.
Kicklike.com — No likes. Just kicks.
⚡ PRIVACY POLICY
YOUR DATA. YOUR RULES.
Last updated: February 11, 2026
THE SHORT VERSION
We don't track you. We don't sell your data. We don't have advertisers. We don't want to know who you are. We just want you to find cool stuff to do.
WHAT WE COLLECT
Almost nothing. When you visit Kicklike, your browser automatically sends a request to our server. This includes your IP address, which we immediately anonymize and never store. We don't use cookies, tracking pixels, fingerprinting, or any of that creepy stuff.
If you contact us via email, we receive your email address and message. We delete these conversations after 30 days. We never add you to a newsletter.
WHAT WE DON'T COLLECT
We don't know your name (unless you tell us).
We don't know your location (we don't ask for permissions).
We don't know what you click on (except to show you kicks).
We don't have accounts, so we don't have passwords to leak.
THIRD PARTIES
Our hosting provider (Netlify) has access to anonymized server logs. They're GDPR compliant and don't sell data. We don't use Google Analytics, Facebook pixels, or any ad networks. The only external service is the font CDN for Google Fonts, which doesn't set cookies.
YOUR RIGHTS
Because we store almost no personal data, there's almost nothing to request. But if you emailed us and want it deleted, just ask. We'll do it within 48 hours. No bureaucracy.
CHANGES
If we ever change this policy (unlikely), we'll update the date at the top. We won't retroactively change how we handle your data.
Kicklike doesn't need to know who you are to show you a good taco spot. That's the point.
⚡ TERMS OF USE
BE COOL. DON'T SUE US.
Effective: February 11, 2026
1. THIS IS A WEBSITE
Kicklike is a collection of suggestions. We think these places are great. You might disagree. That's fine. We're not responsible if you don't like the burrito, if the jazz band has an off night, or if the speakeasy is too crowded. The world is imperfect. So are we.
2. NO WARRANTIES
We verify every kick, but places close, menus change, and owners retire. We do our best to keep things updated, but we make no guarantees that everything is 100% accurate at this exact moment. Call ahead if it matters.
3. YOUR BEHAVIOR
Don't be a jerk. Don't use this site for anything illegal. Don't scrape our data. Don't harass the people at these establishments because you saw them on Kicklike. They're just trying to do their jobs.
4. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
The text descriptions, photography, and design are ours. You can share links, screenshot for your friends, and talk about us on social media. You can't republish our entire database or claim our work as your own.
5. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Kicklike and its operators are not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of this site. In plain English: if you try the spicy wings because we recommended them and you regret it the next morning, that's on you. (But also, worth it?)
6. CHANGES
We might update these terms. We'll change the date at the top. Your continued use means you accept the new terms.
7. GOVERNING LAW
We operate from New York. If lawyers get involved (please don't), New York law applies.
We don't have a PR team. It's just us. But we're happy to chat: press@kicklike.com
⚡ HELP CENTER
YOU GOT QUESTIONS?
We got (probably) answers.
🤔 What is a "kick"?
A kick is our word for a plan, an activity, a place to go. Could be a restaurant, a museum, a hidden viewpoint, a dive bar, a record store, or a weird roadside attraction. If it's worth leaving your house for, it's a kick.
🔍 How do I search for specific kicks?
Use the search bar at the top. Type anything — "pizza", "jazz", "museum", "tacos", "bookstore". We'll show you every kick that matches. You can also filter by region (Northeast, South, etc.) or click on any city in the city bar.
📱 The city list is huge on mobile. Help?
On mobile, the 45 cities collapse into a dropdown menu. Just tap the select box and scroll to your city. Same functionality, less scrolling.
✅ Are these really "real plans"?
Yes. We personally visited every single location. Some we've been going to for years. Some we discovered during our 18-month research trip. If it's on Kicklike, it exists and we think it's worth your time.
💰 Is this free? No catch?
Zero catch. No premium tier. No "unlock 5 more kicks" nonsense. We built this because we were tired of the internet feeling like a vending machine. It's free. It stays free.
🗺️ How do I add a kick?
You can't — yet. But we're working on a contributor system. For now, if you know an amazing spot we missed, use the Contact page and tell us. We might go check it out.
🐞 Found a bug / incorrect info?
Sorry about that! Let us know via the Contact form and we'll fix it ASAP. We update the database every two weeks.
❤️ How can I support Kicklike?
Tell a friend. Share a kick on social media. That's it. We don't take donations (yet) and we don't have merchandise. Just word of mouth.
STILL NEED HELP?
We're humans, not a knowledge base. If your question isn't answered here, just ask us directly.
