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.

Lost in Venice Beach
Venice Beach. It's barely bigger than a village, yet no other place has shaped the world's vision of California quite like this. Here, the streets capture the essence of Los Angeles, paved with stories of loss and success and lined with clich矇s. They still persist: bodybuilders flexing on Arnie's old stomping grounds at Muscle Beach, handsome surfer dudes and dudettes catch-ing waves and teenagers channeling The Doors in a cannabis-infused haze. It's a place where freaks and dreamers converge, with one of them likely to become the next entrepreneurial guru or end up homeless. Here, the American Dream is still alive. But beyond these familiar characters, colorful houses and golden sunsets, there's more to discover. LOST iN introduces you to local legends: like the restaurateur who fishes for tuna in the Pacific after his skate- boarding dreams cracked--much like his bones-- in the halfpipe. Or a music promoter who started with living room concerts and now hosts sponta-neous gigs featuring artists like Dua Lipa and A$AP Ferg. You'll hear tales of secret rave societies that organize private parties until the sun comes out, rock concerts on a golf course and human parades that illuminate the streets with electric light sculp- tures. Beyond the clich矇s, this is a place of mystery. Get lost in its magic and wonder. Get lost in Venice Beach. A Frank Gehry-designed oceanfront home, a social hot house, the oldest LGBTQ bar on the Westside, palm-lined plazas and bonafide street tacos... Get lost in this urban beachtown jungle of self-expression. Includes: * 5 long-form interviews with celebrated locals on their relationship with Venice Beach. * A selection of the most underrated places to visit. * A selection of our top picks for the entire neighborhood. * An original piece of non-fiction by award-winning author Tea Hacic-Vlahovic. * A photo showcase full of social commentary by Dotan Saguy. * An in-depth story by an agent-turned-mushroom chocolate bar dealer.
