Pastures new
Celebrated chefs throw open their doors in Porto and Tokyo, a hi-fi bar turns things up in Zürich, and a New York restaurateur wins big with a riviera feel.
Perfect fix
Cows on the loose? Canals used as dumps? Urban life can throw up some unique – and bizarre – challenges. Meet the people charged with fixing gritty problems in our cities.
Going up
Rome finally gets its own grand department store: a €250m gamble by Thailand’s Central Group that turns archaeology, ambition and 800 brands into the city’s newest must-visit address.
Work flow
The Netherlands’ fourth-largest city is attracting young entrepreneurs in droves. They come for a slower pace of life and to work in one of Europe’s friendliest and best-connected mini hubs.
Food
This month’s culinary spree includes a Tokyo carpenter-turned-roaster, a French grocer with a literary history and a Japanese deli backed by a fashion label. It’s a world of creative crossovers.
