Toronto
It seems as though nothing is built to last in these times of mass production and squeezed profit margins. Cheap, disposable and readily-replaceable is the order of the day, but not everyone thinks this is the way forward. Walter Manning and...
Melbourne
I try to eat fairly healthily most of the time (*cough*), but I must admit to not having embraced the raw food concept quite yet. However, if anything is going to win me over, a raw Snickers bar has got a great chance — although I am very attached...
Shanghai
Bars specialising in a particular tipple have been popping up all over the shop for ages now. There's bars specialising in whisky of course, and rum is another drink that is enjoying a moment in the sun as the main attraction at certain drinking...
New York
In a city overflowing with great coffee shops, it's a bold statement to claim you have the freshest beans — not just in New York, but in the whole country. That's exactly what Botica del Café in Williamsburg is trumpeting thanks to their supplies...
Bali
Hot and colourful. Two words to describe Indonesia — and Indonesian food especially — so the folks of Seminyak, Bali, should get on great with a new restaurant called Motel Mexicola, from the same team behind Adelaide's similarly-named Africola....
Noordwijk
I'm always well disposed towards a hotel with a good bar, and Vesper doesn't waste any time presenting its guests with a beauty. The lobby-bar at this boutique place in Noordwijk, The Netherlands, is the first room one encounters when stepping...
Texas
Do you ever worry that all the electromagnetism, radio and microwaves from modern technology is frying your brain? Or perhaps you just want a bit of down time away from e-mails, Facebook and all the other attention-sapping rubbish that clogs up our...
Barcelona
Despite the sign above the door, no one is going to be wandering into OhBo confusedly looking for woodwind instruments. That's because firstly, no one else is quite as stupid as all that, and secondly, one can clearly see what's going on inside...
Miami
Right now in the silent struggle to be cool, tea is kicking coffee's ass all over the place. You might expect Miami, with all its Caribbean and Latin American influences, to be a stronghold for the energising bean, but even here tea is calmly making...
Adelaide
They don't half do some strange things with their food in Africa if Duncan Welgemoed's Africola menu is anything to go by, but with an Adelaide Chef of the Year gong on the mantelpiece, we're willing to give them a good go in the spirit of...
Los Angeles
A greenhouse restaurant, sure, but in Los Angeles? Oof. I wouldn't fancy Commissary's air conditioning bill thank you very much. Let's hope the place off-sets its carbon footprint, or that there's an ingenious cooling system at play that we aren't...
Tel Aviv
It must be a devil to find a good parking space for a food truck in Tel Aviv. The folks behind Pundak DeLuxe and Jaffa flea market food truck, Truck Deluxe, have given up life on the road, and driven their restored Grumman lorry indoors to set up...
Stuff Crush
Weirdness is a notion long entwined with the concept of creativity. Mocked by the strait-laced confined to their boxes of conformism, celebrated by the bold and the brave who pursue the outré as a means of pushing beyond the banal. In Weird...
City Notes
In Montreal’s Little Italy, a new arrival is making waves with a fresh take on Italian dining. Pasta Pooks, which opened in March 2025, is a compact five-seat takeout counter serving pasta and natural wine in a space that marries Old World charm...
City Notes
A once-forgotten 19th-century residence in Savannah’s historic district has been brought spectacularly back to life, reincarnated as The Douglas; a refined 16-room boutique hotel at 14 East Oglethorpe Avenue, where design meets old-world...
Dispatches
In a country where club floors open with Buddhist chants and Ladyboys offer dawn alms in corsets and stilettos, Elizabeth Waterman has found a world of contradictions too vivid to ignore. Over the past three years, and across four extended trips,...
Dispatches
Moving, renovating, or downsizing in a fast-growing city like Dallas can quickly become overwhelming. Between tight housing transitions, unpredictable weather, and the sheer logistics of packing up a home or office, it’s easy to feel buried under...
Dispatches
Drivers race the yellow light constantly. It's become normal behavior. Someone sees the light turn yellow and accelerates to beat it rather than slowing down. Another driver is already committed to going through. They collide in the middle of the...
Dispatches
Once upon a time, hotels were where we went to escape real life, and homes were where we returned to it. Today, that separation is disappearing. The warmth, comfort, and design sophistication that once defined boutique hotels are now finding their...
Dispatches
Moving is one of those life events that sits somewhere between chaos and reinvention. It’s stressful, yes — but it’s also a rare opportunity to start over. To touch every object you own, question its purpose, and decide what kind of person...
