Guides from people
who actually live there.
Short, opinionated lists from baristas, designers, writers and bookshop owners. The spots they’d send a friend to on a weekend.
A long, slow weekend in Lisbon
Three days of tiled cafés, viewpoints with a beer, and one pastel de nata too many.
More local lists.
9 guides so far.
Coffee crawl through Tokyo
Eight neighborhoods, twelve hours, and the only espresso route I'd defend to a Roman.
Bookshops & bakeries of Paris
The morning route I do when I have a manuscript to read.
Slow Sundays in Copenhagen
A list for anyone tired. Quiet cafés, one museum, a long walk by the water, and an early dinner.
Brooklyn for first-timers
Skip the obvious. Here's where I take my parents when they finally come visit.
After dark in Berlin
Not the obvious clubs. Wine bars with no signs, a piano room above a kebab shop.
Three days, Barcelona, no Sagrada Família
Yes really. The city beneath the tourist city.
Porto on a wine writer's budget
Where to drink, where to sleep cheaply, and the single bakery worth setting an alarm for.
Rainy Edinburgh, on purpose
The case for going in October. Cosy bars, dim cafés.
