With restaurants and cafes in New York, you’ve always had to compromise. Maybe the food is good but it’s always too crowded. Or it’s near your apartment, but it’s not open when you leave for work. Maybe they make incredible coffee, but there’s no wifi. Or if they do have wifi maybe there’s only one […]

Like most people besotted with this charming city, one of my favourite features of Amsterdam is it’s crooked canal houses. Their mis-matched frames, those unnervingly narrow doorways, and the way they lean over, almost as if to peer down and say ”˜hello’, as you cycle by. So, when an animated buzz outside the archetypal canal […]

HIGASHIYA shops are all over the city, but the blink-and-you’ll-miss-it hole in the wall HIGASHIYA Man is worth finding. The size of some walk-in closets, here you’ll find some of the city’s most delicious Japanese sweets. Fresh ManjÅ« (steamed buns filled with bean jam) are the headliner taking center stage as they’re freshly steamed in […]
