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. We’ve started the month with new places in Rotterdam, Lisbon, New York and the Pyrenees. You can also find more recommendations for where to go in January here and the latest openings in Paris here.

 

Warm wishes, Pauline
