High Hat Cafe in New Orleans, Louisiana

May 22, 2025

Despite only being around since 2009, High Hat Cafe exudes a timeless charm and feels wiser than its years. The trick may be in its honest approach to food and hospitality—the meals here are Southern comfort food at its finest, and you’re likely to be greeted as an old friend when you walk through the door. Blame this on Ryan Iriarte, who has been working here since the beginning, and recently purchased the restaurant with another business partner when,...

Bargain Stone in West Midlands, England

May 21, 2025

St. Peter’s Collegiate Church, by far the oldest in England‘s Wolverhampton, has shrouded origins in the Anglo-Saxon era. Even more mysterious than the church itself are some of the ancient objects lying in its churchyard. The Bargain Stone, located on the south side of the church just inside the railings surrounding it, is one of the only standing stones to have a hole in it. Its name comes from the old practice of merchants shaking hands through its hole...

Ernst Thälmann Monument in Berlin, Germany

May 21, 2025

The Ernst Thälmann Monument is one of the last artistic remnants in Berlin that recalls the “good old days” of the Geman Democratic Republic (GDR), as most other statues and sculptures have been removed. The monument is part of Ernst Thälmann Park, a protected historical site created in 1987 on the grounds of a former gasworks.

The Appetite Repair Shop in New Orleans

May 21, 2025

Peter Vazquez might be the best chef in New Orleans you’ve never heard of. And he probably likes it that way. Once upon a time, he ran Marisol, a restaurant much loved and much ahead of its time. After Hurricane Katrina forced its closure, he served Sunday meals outside Bacchanal Wine Shop to those desperate for comfort and community in a newly-unknown landscape—a stint that eventually inspired a character arc on the New Orleans-based TV show, Treme. There were other...

Ōmori Nori Vending Machine in Tokyo, Japan

May 21, 2025

One could easily overlook a vending machine in a nation full of them, particularly one tucked into the entrance of a nondescript shopping mall. However, this particular vending machine specializes in nori: sheets of chopped, dried Pyropia seaweed that has become a staple in Japanese cuisine. The district of Ōmori is considered by some to be the birthplace of nori processing, beginning in the Edo period. Nori cultivation in the area came to an end in the 1960s with...

Statue of the Prophet Daniel on the...

May 21, 2025

This statue on the Metz Cathedral has a story that reflects the town’s tumultuous political history. It forms part of the grand, gothic West Portal, which is covered in dozens of statues of saints, prophets, and angels. At first glance, it looks—like the rest of the cathedral—to date from the High Middle Ages. But the portal was actually built in 1903, during the period that Metz was part of the German Empire. The original medieval doorway had been destroyed...

Parkway Bakery and Tavern in New Orleans,...

May 21, 2025

The humble sandwich has been lifted to legendary status around the world, but perhaps nowhere more so than in New Orleans, where the po’ boy has taken on a life much larger than itself, and acts as a fitting entrée into the city’s vast and storied dining scene. With a history that dates back to the early 20th century, the po’ boy as a symbol of New Orleans has gained traction across generations, and its limitations are bound only...

President Lincoln’s Cottage in Washington, D.C.

May 21, 2025

Once known as Anderson Cottage, this Gothic Revival-style residence was the setting where Abraham Lincoln penned the first draft of the Emancipation Proclamation. Built between 1842-1843, the cottage first served as home to George Washington Riggs, founder of Riggs National Bank. It was later used as a seasonal getaway for several U.S. Presidents, including James Buchanan (1857-1861), Abraham Lincoln (1862-1864), Rutherford B. Hayes (1877-1881), and Chester Arthur (1881-1885). The cottage stands on the same 251-acre complex as the Soldier’s...

Sabbathday Lake Shaker Village in New Gloucester,...

May 21, 2025

The United Society of Believers in Christ’s Second Appearing, better known as the Shakers, are an offshoot of the Quakers that originated in 18th-century England. The group got its nickname from its physical expressions of worship, which resembles dancing and shaking. The Shakers also became distinguished in their communal, egalitarian lifestyles that mandated celibacy and gender equality. Under the leadership of Ann Lee, they moved to the Northeastern United States, where they became known for their furniture, music, and...

Parkside Plum Juice in Taipei, Taiwan

May 20, 2025

Taiwan is known as the birthplace of bubble tea, but there’s much more to the beverage scene here. Take this shop, for example. It has been selling just one drink, plum juice (suanmeitang), for over 60 years, and it’s still a favorite for both locals and visitors. Parkside is definitely one of the most famous among shops dedicated to the specialty drink of plum juice, and the namesake comes from its location right next to the 228 Memorial Park....

Sanctuary of Nossa Senhora da Conceição da...

May 20, 2025

Look at this church alone and one would be forgiven for thinking it is in Portugal. Zoom out, however, and it becomes apparent that this is Africa. More specifically, it is Angola, a former Portuguese colony and one of Africa’s most Catholic countries. As such, this Marian shrine holds special importance to many in this country, and it is considered the most important one in Sub-Saharan Africa. Like many colonial settlements, Muxima (meaning “heart” in Kimbundu) has an unfortunately...

The Historical Center of Pune in Pune,...

May 20, 2025

The area of Kasba Peth next to Shaniwar Wada is considered to be the oldest part of Pune. It was from Kasba Peth that the city originated and expanded.

Before the fort was built, this area had a settlement of houses. Historically, human settlements have always preferred to...
