list
A list of pleasures accumulated over the years — places I have been, places I have
been sent to by people whose taste I trust, and a few I am still working my way towards. No sponsored
entries and no aggregated reviews. Pick a city, then tap the ♥ on anything you like the look of; it
saves to your own shortlist, no sign-up needed.
