Lost in Tokyo
Tokyo. The world's largest metropolis is startlingly creative and rigorously traditional, spotlessly organized and crazily confusing, soaked in ancient history and perpetually on the cusp. Everything imaginable is collected in one vertiginous metropolis: from a galaxy of Michelin stars to stellar street food, cosplay wackiness to catwalk winners, and pleasure services so left field they've even left the field. But the dense metropolis has a quieter side in its alleyways and hidden corners. Its interiors hold a million surprises: a classy piano bar can be on the 8th floor above a fetish club, and heavenly yakiniku three floors below ground. In a city with more than 80,000 restaurants a complete guide is impossible. But an insider's introduction will begin to unlock the wild mysteries of the Japanese capital. This second edition of the Tokyo city guide maintains all of our best interviews and stories from our first edition, while adding updated recommendations, additional interview content, and a new, original short story from celebrated British author and Tokyo resident Pip Murphy.

Lost in Amsterdam
Amsterdam. Paved into its streets is an artistic heritage centuries old. And though its liberal laws and relaxed environment have pulled in tourists in recent decades, the city offers much more than canals and coffee shops. The legacy of the Dutch Masters lives on, trans- formed, in a new generation of innovative artists and designers. The docks and wharfs of the Noord are examples of abandoned corners that have been reclaimed and reinvigorated. Even the architecture has been reinterpreted, with a modern spin on the classic canal house. Visitors today can travel to pop-up restaurants on abandoned islands or dine in 300-year-old green houses. Despite its rich history, Amsterdam is constantly evolving. But it's the people who shape the city's atmosphere. In Amsterdam we spoke to gifted personalities: the local denim king, an urban artist, a celebrated chef... Our recommendations are complemented by photographic showcases and in-depth stories from global and local talents. It's all about original minds and the creative vibe.

Lost in Brooklyn
Brooklyn. Once the scrappy sibling in New York's borough family, it has long since shrugged off any inferiority complex. Now, it's the global capital of cool--where brownstone stoops double as office desks or where a bodega cat might have more Instagram followers than you. Brooklyn is a borough of contradictions. Luxury condos cast shadows over anarchist bookstores. Vegan bakeries coexist with 100-year-old pastrami-slinging delis. You'll find rooftop raves in Gowanus warehouses and backyard poetry readings in Bed-Stuy. Vintage is currency, and authenticity is curated with intent. But beyond the kaleidoscope of clich矇s lies some-thing magnetic. LOST iN introduces you to the locals who make the borough tick: the Coney Island native giving food tours from his vintage checkered cab, the Le Cordon Bleu-trained chef who left the line to cook in a Clinton Hill brownstone, the DJ weaving genre-spanning sets laced with sounds from the streets. You'll discover where a new generation of car aficionados gather in a forgotten Navy Yard terminal, where to sip from a 13-glass martini fountain with escargot, and how to pick up skating at an intergalactic dream-rink lit like a spaceship landing. Brooklyn is messy and mythic. A borough forever under construction--of buildings, identities, dreams. Get lost in its maze of neighborhoods, its alchemy of edge and warmth. Get lost in Brooklyn. Street walls hijacked as canvases, a bar hidden behind a pizzeria spinning 90s mixtapes, vintage finds under a bridge's archways, concerts in a bowling alley and social rock wall... Get lost in the borough of cool and contradiction. Includes: * Five long-form interviews with celebrated locals on their pursuits and life in Brooklyn * A locals-curated list of the Top 5 places to check out for the best slice, cocktails and more * A photo showcase by Brooklyn native and award-winning street photographer Jamel Shabazz * A detailed index for ease of use in planning and organizing trips * More than 100 pages of recommendations and write ups for dining, dancing, drinking, and day-tripping in the borough.
