NYC Inspiration & Events Guide for Spring 2022

Spring in New York City is the loveliest time of the year when the air smells fresh, rent gets more expensive, and already active New Yorkers become even more adventurous. We can thankfully spend this Spring (mostly) maskless, but keep in mind that you do have to wear a mask on the subway and inside…

Berets, Baguettes and Bikes in Paris!

It’s not exactly the Tour de France, but introduced in 2009 and inspired by London’s Tweed Run, Paris has its very own “Beret Baguette” ride celebrating French flair for fashion, gastronomy and the trusty two-wheeled transporters. The annual group ride is attended by up to 500 Parisians and fixie enthusiasts are encouraged to don the…

And Finally, the Miniature Mouse Village of Your Dreams

Welcome to Mouseland, an adventurously cosy town where frogs take tea on lily-pads, mice set sail on miniature sailboats, and there are zero effs to give about anything in the real world that’s larger than a peanut. It’s the brainchild of Portland, Oregon-based author Maggie Rudy, who’s been making the mice for her children’s books…

New York Spring Guide 2020

After a long and frosty winter, Springtime rolls around to pull New Yorkers out of hibernation and into the sun – which won’t stop from shining, no matter what news headlines arrive. But as we gear up to enjoy the unfurling al fresco cafes and new exhibits, New Yorkers are being asked to work together,…

Drop Everything, and Let’s Run Away with Ernst Kreidolf’s Flower Fairies

Some stories deserve to be told in a whisper. Tales of hidden flower kingdoms on the edge of a river bank, where caterpillars dance with apple blossoms and fairies fly on butterfly wings. Such are the tales woven by 19th century children’s book pioneer Ernst Kreidolf, whose meticulous watercolours fleshed out the richest fantasy worlds…

Paris in the Springtime: How to Avoid Everyone

This is how I like my outdoor terraces: deserted, tourist-free and preferably childless (sorry parents but screaming kids are just not part of my vision for an al fresco paradise). But since we’re coming out of what seems like the longest winter yet, at the first hint of sun, you can bet everyone and their…

I Have This Thing with Topiaries

Maybe it’s because, in truth, they’re completely unnecessary but so utterly gratifying when trimmed with precision. Maybe it’s because they transport us to the fantasies of our childhood, both romantic and slightly eerie (we’ve all seen how things end for Jack Nicholson in The Shining), but whatever the reason, we can’t stop staring at topiaries, so…

Some very, very Serious Thoughts on Paris and Hemingway

I finally read Ernest Hemingway’s A Moveable Feast this summer. Only 126 pages and one of literature’s classics; absorbing his narratives of the Paris quais and cafés, I felt an unavoidable sense of failure that it had taken me more than a quarter of a century to find the book. At the same time, I…
