Few cities allure me more than Victoria, and one of the reasons is the variety of coffee shops the area boasts. One that is truly tucked away down an alley is aptly named Hide + Seek Coffee. With two locations, both with amazing patios for nice weather, I was in the neighborhood of their Fairfield Road location one beautiful summer day and was able to stop in.

While one does not easily access NYC from outside the city, once you're in Manhattan, there are few places like it. The odd infrastructure boasts lots of quizzical streets and offbeat nooks that offer lots of gems to those that seek them out. On one such recent visit to Chinatown, I managed to find such a gem at a cafe and roastery dubbed Artbean Cafe.
