Travel Guide: New York City

This 2022 update to our original travel guide now includes Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Montauk.

To us, what’s most exciting about New York is its diversity and concentration of people, food, and art. There’s always something delicious to eat or drink close by; always an exciting new place to check out, or a new exhibit at one of the many great museums. And the ease by which one can move around the city—by foot and train, no less—is enough to bring a tear to an Angeleno’s eye.

Whether New York is the kind of place you could live in or not, we feel everyone can find an appreciation for all it has to offer. If you’ve never been, save our recommendations in your maps app and use them as guideposts to walk and commute around town.

By 2024, Berlin’s reputation as a cheap place for artists and students has matured into something a little more complex. For visitors, as young people and artists have moved to new parts of the city over the years, this in many ways means there are more fun areas to explore.

If there’s one thing we felt stood out about Berlin, especially as coffee people, it’s the bakery café scene. So many spots we went to for our morning cup had fresh- baked pastries coming from within the same walls. It was really special.

We’ve listed a few of our favorites, along with other recommendations pulled from a spring trip our founders Ally & Casey took (along with their toddler, Sonny).

London is a city that never stops inspiring us; with its rich history, charming neighborhoods, and a coffee scene as vibrant as its culture. From cozy cafés tucked along cobblestone streets to beautifully designed spaces serving some of the best pour-overs, every cup tells a story. Pair that with incredible dining, from bustling markets to intimate restaurants, and you have a city that always feels alive with discovery. We love getting lost in London’s energy, one café (and one meal) at a time.

There is so much more to Italy than could be contained in one vacation. On our most recent trip, we split our time between exploring Rome by foot and road tripping north to south along the Adriatic Sea through Puglia.

To move through these places is to be absorbed; by the history, the depth, the allure of what could be around the next corner or down the next alley. To be mesmerized by the sun reflecting off the Mediterranean as it rises and falls along jagged coastline and the ruins of people who built here before. From ancient city to ancient olive tree groves, we hope this guide gives you inspiration for your next visit to Italy.
