Dear members,
Below you’ll find an ever-growing list of spots that were added to the site this month. The paint just dried at some of the addresses, while others have been added because you wanted some tips in those destinations. This month we are sharing new recommendations in Australia, Copenhagen, Stockholm, France, Rotterdam, Leiden, Dordrecht, New York and Gent.
Enjoy your new month, warm wishes, Pauline
I’m experimenting with a new way of sharing the latest openings with you if there aren’t any images available yet. I’m adding to the site with an illustration especially made by Foreign Policy Design, and once I’ve been there personally or receive usable images of the owners, then I will update the post completely. This month I’m happy to share that Bar Vitrine is now open in Copenhagen, just as Cafe Vivian in Arnhem. Oh and check out the new Casa Taos in Barcelona too.
Other new places we’ve added to the site:
Lisbon – Locke de Santa Joana (stay)
Italy (lake Garda) – Borgo Tre (stay)
France (Normandy) – Namo Ryokan (yoga retreat location)
Nice – Hotel du Couvent (stay)
Portland – Soho House (work, eat)
France (Mount Ventoux) – Le Belvedere (eat)
Portugal (Algarve) – Casas da Quinta de Cima (stay)
Belgium – Pieter in Veurne (eat)
Bali – Acme Bakehouse & Coffee (eat)
There are a lot of things happening on the East Coast in Australia, Sea Sea is opening on the first of November and Il Delfino (pictured) is another great addition to check out if you’re going on a road trip and want to see more than Byron Bay.
