Despite the changes that have swept the neighborhood over the last thirty years, East Village clings to it’s alternative past and longtime residents still march to … Continue reading East Village: NYC Neighborhood Guide

Wide boulevards, elegant stone buildings with gun-metal grey roofs and few buildings more than five or six stories tall. This is how we tend to think of Paris.

Free of height restrictions, skyscrapers grow … Continue reading La Defense Neighbourhood Guide, Paris
