An urbanista is an urban fashionista. An urbanista is (typically) a woman who is interested in fashion, especially high end and non-mainstream fashion and who also has an in-depth knowledge of the best people, places, and things her city has to offer. She knows where to find those stylish Italian boots noone else wears yet, who to call to get the best table at the trendiest restaurant in town and what gallery to contact if your are an up-and-coming artist. An urbanista is selective, but never snobbish, intellectual, but also street smart. She is a living "insider's guide" to the city.
- This is an amazing restaurant! I can't believe I've never heard of it before. How did you find it?
- My friend recommended it. She is a real urbanista. I always call her to get tips on the best places, people and shops in town.

Get the urbanist mug.An Urbanist is a former inner city inhabitant who aspires to live the life of suburbia, yet retaining many of his or her original customs, manners and beliefs much to the chagrin of their established neighbors. The clues that you are living near an Urbanist would be: the presence of used condoms in the parking lot; the placing of the telephone in the open kitchen window so that all neighbors hear it; screaming and yelling at multiple sex partners (on different days, of course). Also, a variant of the Urbanist is the far worst Urbanista, who will sign an apartment lease for 1 or 2 people, but we really know that their new dwelling is nothing more than a way station for their 20 and more friends, extended family and other terrorist cell members. You know an Urbanista is nearby when: roaches and other vermin suddenly appear; sandals are piled up outside their door; no furniture, but plenty of floor mats inside; the building starts to stink of food or human waste (what's the difference here, eh?).
Urbanist: That chicken head in apartment 11 is a real urbanist, never cleaning up the condoms in the parking lot.
Urbanista: Damn, tripped over those damn urbanista sandals again.
