At the top of a hill on Cathedral street downtown, we find the central branch of the Enoch Pratt Free Library, Baltimore's public library system. Always open to the public, even without a library pass, it is like a great and beautiful sanctuary. Some of my best thinking has taken place in the humanities wing reading room. It is, after all, one of the few places in the city devoted exclusively, and uninhibitedly, to thinking.

For fast, good ramen! Their black sesame ice cream is super good.

I discovered the Frick my first week in New York, during a heat wave in August. The galleries were surprisingly empty, with only the occasional visitor strolling through the rooms, gently creaking the floorboards. I stood for a while in front of the Bronzino, a portrait of a boy standing against a background of green drapery, and then sat in the courtyard for a long, cool hour.

If you are visiting Mexico City you must use the metro to get a true insight into daily life in the capital city, but be prepared as it is hectic as! Sometimes feels like the entire Mexico City population is in your carriage during rush hour. Used by around 4.4 million passengers on an average weekday, it has 195 stations and more than 226km of track on 12 lines. Trains arrive every two to three minutes during rush hours. At M$5 a ride, it’s one of the world’s cheapest subways and will get you across the entire city. Best option for people watching and striking up conversation with people you may not otherwise talk to.

My favorite restaurant in Manhattan, it's super fresh, vegan/vegetarian and tasty and the staff is wonderful.

This huge natural rock formation shaped as swirls is an amazing place to go for swimming or just contemplating. 

The Odeon of Herodes Atticus is an ancient amphitheater located on the southwestern slope of the Acropolis in Athens, Greece. It was built in 161 AD by the wealthy Roman Herodes Atticus in memory of his wife, and it was used for music concerts, theatrical performances, and other cultural events. The Odeon of Herodes Atticus is a beautiful and well-preserved example of Roman-era architecture. It has a semi-circular shape with a diameter of 80 meters, and it could seat up to 5,000 spectators. The theater was built using white Pentelic marble, and it was covered by a wooden roof that has since been lost to time. In ancient times, the Odeon of Herodes Atticus was one of the most prestigious venues for musical and theatrical performances in Athens. It hosted many famous performers, including the Greek composer Mikis Theodorakis, the Spanish tenor Placido Domingo, and the American singer Frank Sinatra. Today, the Odeon of Herodes Atticus is still used as a venue for cultural events, especially during the summer months when the Athens Festival takes place. The theater's impressive acoustics and beautiful setting make it a popular destination for music and theater lovers from all over the world.
