Just when you thought your credit card was safe from the incredibly addictive Gilt Groupe, the company launches Gilt City, a new leg of the site that offers deals on restaurants, salons and other lifestyle businesses throughout New York City.Gilt City is being compared by techies to Groupon, a very popular sales site that offers discounts on products if a certain amount of people sign up. But it’s different because, while there’s a limited quantity available in each deal, it doesn’t require a minimal amount of participants. And of course, the offers are a bit more high end. Initial deals have included 50% off dinner at Rouge Tomate and 50% off packages at Vartali Salon. If Gilt City is successful in New York, it’ll expand to other metropolises.
