When I moved to Boston seven years ago (having grown up in New Jersey, not far from New York City), I was struck by how small the food scene was. For a region with such a plentiful supply of produce, I was disappointed by the lack of options for getting your hands on locally grown fruits and vegetables. There have been a number of changes over the last few years and one of the most striking has been the emergence of local farms who have really made an impact on this city.

Nikaela Peters forms sentences in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Her work focuses on themes of season, religion, history and ceremony. While she and her husband are prolific with their Pentax k1000, she is confident that words, properly organized, better stir the imagination than images captured on film. The cliche is backwards. A good sentence is worth a thousand pictures any day.

One of the loveliest new places to head for home goods has just popped up in the DUMBO neighborhood of Brooklyn, along with an online arena for those who aren’t so conveniently located in New York City. West Elm has created a branch called West Elm Market, which focuses on selling specialty goods from lesser-known makers, many of them located in New York or the broader States. Market is carrying timeless, practical pieces for the kitchen, the bathroom, the garden, and the home in general, becoming something of a general store with a little taste of everything.

Americans seem to have lost the tastiest part of their yearly democratic tradition: The Hartford Election Cake. This fruit-filled, communal yeast loaf is now just novelty for the culinarily curious, but this boozy cake actually played an important role in many Colonial elections. Voters would have to make long treks into the city to cast their ballots, and political parties would welcome them with a drink and a slice of cake—often in exchange for voting a straight ticket.

For two months late last year, when the air was chilly and all the trees were burning red to yellow, my partner and I road-tripped through Europe. How lovely it was to stop by this rustic pumpkin stall in Switzerland and feel grateful for seeing new, beautiful things, like this, every day.

There is a little place in the heart of Copenhagen called Central Hotel & Café, which may be the smallest café and hotel in Denmark. There is a café on the ground floor (the coffee bar measures 12 square meters), and above the café you find the hotel’s only room with a view of Tullinsgade. Definitely a spot where a visitor would find a nice and quiet stay as well as good coffee and the day’s newspaper. Owner Leif Thingtved designed the place with Parisian café influences and style.
