A fresh take on culture, fashion, cities and the way we live – from the desks of Monocle's editors and bureaux chiefs.

To get the best views of New York, you have to go up. For a snug meal, go to The Commerce Inn in the West Village, for braised oxtail and spoon bread; or Koloman, the new Viennese-Parisian restaurant in NoMad, for cheese soufflé and beef tenderloin. I’m looking for 10 days of slow food, culture and balconies with a view in one of the most energetic cities in the world to reignite that jaded soul.
