We’re All Urbanites Now

There are lots of travel magazines devoted to individual countries, and of course a myriad of city-specific periodicals, but now there’s a magazine that devotes each issue to a single street. The brainchild of Berliner Ricarda Meissner, Flaneur launched last month with an entire issue devoted to Kantstraβe in West Berlin.

Equal parts travel guide and arts magazine, Flaneur offers portraits of shopkeepers, café owners, local artists/writers/designers/architects, and the lives of residents over generations. All inspired by the 19th century flaneur lifestyle.

I look forward to see what streets that they choose to profile in coming issues.
