We started Safara because we love to travel. We love that it opens our minds to new people, cultures, and ideas. It builds human connection. It sparks creativity and it fuels the global economy. We live and breathe this –  we’re a global, remote team with a unified goal: to make travel easier, more efficient, and barrier-free. 

During this crazy time, that human connection we mentioned is a little compromised, right? In the meantime, we want to be your window to the world, bringing you stories and inspiration from our global community of tastemakers. Our Insiders, who are also stuck at home and pining for their usual local haunts, have been thrilled to share reasons to add their neighborhood to your post-Covid travel plans. We’re going for the gold re: global coverage, and hope that you’ll find some new locals to try ASAP post-lockdown, too. 

Next up in our ‘Five Reasons’ series is Scott Amenta, a bit of a Renaissance man. He’s a New Yorker, but is based in the Prenzlauer Berg neighborhood of Berlin. He’s working in partnerships at tech company Think-it, and is soon to start a new role at travel guide startup Get Your Guide. He’s also a producer and the founder of a Chief of Staff network. Busy guy.

Like Scott, we’re armchair traveling a lot these days, and planning for the future. We’re taking this time to build out our bucket lists, not just because it’s fun, but because it helps the industry we all love. By following and engaging with unique and local hotels, small businesses, and restaurants, we can collectively give them much-needed hope and encouragement during this strange and abnormally difficult time.

Five reasons to visit Berlin

The Food: Breakfast, lunch, and dinner can all be had at Brammibal’s Donuts. These vegan donuts will blow you away, and their coffee is great too. I still favor the classic cinnamon sugar donut, but the salted caramel hazelnut one is not to be missed. For a real lunch or dinner head over to Kanaan Berlin. The two founders – one from Israel and the other from Palestine – have an amazing mission, to join forces to show the unification of ideologies while creating world-class vegan and vegetarian middle eastern dishes.

The hotel: Linnen is a hip and modern hotel with a unique mix of apartment-style and classic rooms in the heart of P-Berg. I often recommend friends stay here as the rooms are spacious, it comes at a great price point, and has all the best bars and restaurants a few steps away.

The store: Berlin has world-class second-hand and vintage shops all around. I love checking out one of the smaller hidden gems, DEAR. They have a great rotating selection of vintage goods for men and women from well-known luxury and niche up-and-coming designers.

The things to do: If you’re a singer (which I am certainly not), Karaoke Im Mauerpark is the chance of a lifetime to have five minutes of fame in Berlin in front of a massive audience. For the non-singers, it’s a great time to enjoy a Sunday afternoon, good tunes, and an outdoor party.

The culture: There’s always something new going on at KulturBrauerei – concerts, beer gardens, food festivals, independent films, and more. It’s worth stopping by for a visit to see the program of events and explore the museum inside this old brewery.

Five reasons to visit Florence

The bar: Natural wine at Il Santino, a tiny bar that serves ‘cicchetti’ with every glass. Everything is delicious, the staff is young, cool, and dedicated. It’s no easy feat to find good bread in Florence – they have some of the best and very fresh ingredients. I’ll have their delicious small plates as a meal if I miss the strict Florentine lunch hours or feel like a light dinner. It’s a special feeling there. Everyone spills out onto the street to drink wine and talk, free of cars or crowds. It’s a feeling I’ve never had anywhere else.

The food: Lunch and dinner at Trattoria Cammillo. It’s family-run and elegant yet easeful, light, and airy. Each generation is there working, the staff is spirited and kind. It’s a stylish classic for the classics––pasta and meat––but I love unexpected things like their risotto with curried shrimp, something I’d never expect in Florence but is an al dente specialty of theirs – or the truffled eggs with mushrooms in the fall. Florence would never be the same without Cammillo. I go alone a lot or with anyone I care about, you remember every meal.

The cafe: Rivoire is one of my favorite places in the world. It’s popular but I love to go early in the morning, walk across Piazza della Signoria and have cornetti at the counter. The cane chairs, wooden bar, silver capped bottles and formally dressed staff are beautiful to wake up to. Sometimes I actually sit down here, which feels indulgent, and the indifferent cashier is endearingly reassuring.

The things to do: The Boboli Garden has an understated grandeur that feels natural and calm. I love the faded colors on the buildings, woven throughout greenery and hidden in this sweet way. Faded mints and pinks that strike the right notes. I visit the porcelain museum often, at the top of the hill, the garden and fountain in front of it paired with the stunning view remain in my mind all of the time. 

The stores: I’m excited to visit Bottega di Corte, a very tasteful and sprawling shop for everything from old porcelain to tassels, maps, silver, vintage clothes –– Italian chic interior design that’s worn in perfectly. Dexter is another favorite to get men’s shirts and lightweight pants I end up wearing all of the time –  the owner, Marco, has a true elegance in style and demeanor. And, maybe most importantly, paper shops like Il Papiro, the Santo Spirito flea market, and the food markets.

Five reasons to visit Greenwich Village

The coffee: An early morning espresso at il Buco Alimentari & Vineria is the best!

The food: Any of the vegan ice creams at Van Leeuwen (cookie crumble strawberry jam is my favorite), and Morandi for its lemon pasta, Vermentino, and outdoor seating.

The hotel: The Marlton Hotel  –  I love the cocktail bar and cozy fireplace. Their drink, the ‘Address Unknown’, is made with mezcal, Ancho Reyes chile liqueur, coconut, and pineapple – it’s amazing.

The culture: I went to NYU for business school and love the Grey Art Gallery.  They have an incredible collection of Persian art including some of my favorites from artist and architect, Siah Armajani.

The thing to do: Modo Yoga is my favorite yoga studio in NYC – Karine and Lawrence are the absolute best. I also love visiting the Washington Square Dog Park with my friend’s adorable pomski.

Five reasons to visit Hamburg

The food and drink: One of my favorite places to eat breakfast is Marie. They have the best pancakes and also serve a lovely lunch with seasonal and local products. If you go for the pancakes try the crunchy banana or blueberry pancakes. And don’t underestimate the portions.

Trattoria Calabria is a hidden gem and small Italian restaurant run by Matteo and Leo who use the freshest produce for their dishes. I love the homemade scampi pasta! If you want to support an amazing small business and try some delicious pasta, you should definitely add them to your list.

The Chug Club is located in the Red Light district of Hamburg and as the name says, they serve ‘chugs’ – tequila-based mini cocktails. The atmosphere is speakeasy vibes and I would definitely go for the 6-course mini cocktail tasting as you will discover unique recipes.

The hotel: The boutique Hotel Das Kleine Grindel is one of Hamburg’s smallest hotels and located in the vibrant Grindel district. Housed in a restored workshop dating from the first half of the 19th century, the two individually furnished rooms offer all possible comforts. If you’re looking for a cozy spot with all the attractions and amenities close by, this is the perfect stay.

The store: Vau Hamburg is located in Eppendorf and carries an exciting variety of Hamburg-designed products but also internationally renowned brands like Acne and Samsoe&Samsoe. The Eppendorfer Baum (street) is always worth a stroll.

The thing to do: BOOM BÄNG NAMASTE is a newly founded Yoga Studio where the music is just as powerful as yoga – you could flow from hip hop to techno. This makes BBN unique in Hamburg and its always nice to chat with Laura, the owner, who travels all over the world to broaden the experiences at her yoga studio with classes like sound baths.

The culture: Located in the heart of the red-light district the Affenfaust Galerie is a forum for contemporary art curating young and established artists. If you stroll around town you will also find different kinds of artwork on walls from their collaborations.

Five reasons to visit Clapham, South London

The food & drinks: Common Cafe & Shop is one of my favorite coffee shops to work in. It has plenty of natural light, great coffee and lunches, and super friendly baristas. There is also a great section of refillable goods, eco cautious items, and I always go there when I need to buy a present for someone.

The Prince of Wales is a really unusual pub with a quirky interior –  but with everything a classic English pub gives you.

For a date night, there is Number 32 for a drink on the terrace upstairs, The Dairy for dinner, and Trinity to celebrate something special.

The hotel: The Windmill on The Common is the boutique hotel to recommend in Clapham. The rooms are beautifully designed, with some impressive bathtubs, and classic British coziness. It’s situated directly on the Common –  perfect for your morning run – followed by a generous full English back at the hotel.

The stores: Northcote Road is a fantastic shopping street! It has all of the good high street shops and some independent little gems! I love the Northcote Antique Market, which is HUGE and full of gems, then there is my secret charity shop FARA at the end of the road, and you can also find Aux Merveilleux de Fred who sells the ‘the Merveilleux’, a pastry I discovered when studying in Lille –  it’s meringue wrapped in chantilly cream and chocolate!

The thing to do: The Common, of course. There are so many great parts of the park and I particularly love the carousel in the middle. The park is about 5km around, so it couldn’t be a better place to run. There is also a cute Italian café, very casual but just right for a little break.

The bar: I recently discovered The Last Supper gallery – they always have some cool and funky art and it’s worth checking out. It’s on Webb’s Road, a super cute neighborhood. I also love the Picture House Cinema in Old Town, you can grab a pizza from Radio Alice nearby beforehand.

Five reasons to visit Hong Kong

The hotel: The Upper House boutique hotel is my favorite home away from home in Hong Kong. A perfect evening begins with their signature Hong Kong Highball cocktail enjoyed on The Lawn before feasting at Café Gray followed by a lazy night in at one of their signature suites.

The stores: Standout stores include The Armoury for gents, HULA for pre-loved sustainable luxury womenswear and a stroll around Cat Street Gallery for some local souvenirs and hidden vintage finds.

The food: For dinner, YardBird is the ultimate spot with delicious food, friendly staff, and a brilliant buzz. For a drink, Please Don’t Tell is a speakeasy where you can get gin and tonic with a side of caramel popcorn is my favorite spot for a drink.

The things to do: Hiking trails and beaches are abundant in Hong Kong and I regularly walk The Twins and Morning Trail with friends. Bowen Road running route is also a favorite.

The culture: For something cultural and spiritual, Chi Lin Nunnery is my favorite peaceful place. They have a cute gift shop, stunning Japanese Gardens and a vegetarian café that my friend Chicco, founder of Fivelements, introduced me too.

Name: Andrea Belck-Olsen 

Where you live: My favorite local area of Oslo; Grünerløkka

Where you’re from: I feel like a citizen of the world as I have lived in multiple countries, but I am originally from outside of Oslo.  

What you do: Director of Sales at THE THIEF hotel, and Co-Founder of HER Oslo, part of HER Global Network.

Five reasons to visit Oslo

The food: Skaal Matbar and The Tea Room by Imperial are both fairly new, and well worth a visit to Oslo. Otherwise, my local favorites include Ostebutikken, a gourmet cheese store / bistro, and the cocktail bar 2TH

The hotels: Stay at either THE THIEF with amazing views over the Oslo fjord or Amerikalinjen right next to the stunning Oslo Opera House

The shopping: I have so many local favorites including Luck Oslo, Sanatorium, Kollekted by, and Ensemble. Or go to Ilums Bolighus and pick up a dress by AWAN. They make the most comfortable dresses, which you can wear both while lounging on your couch or out and about in public.

The things to do: In Oslo, you can rent your own floating sauna and enjoy the Oslo fjord. It is definitely one of the coolest things to do in Oslo at the moment (currently closed due to government regulations for COVID19 – but add to your list!)

I also love to go for long walks, and can never miss my daily walk by the Akerselva river. It’s a great, scenic walk with lots of cafes and historic spots along the way. Get a waffle and a coffee at either Raadeshagekafe or Hønse-Lovisa.

The culture: Make sure to visit the privately-owned museum of modern art – the Astrup Fearnley Museum. It’s both indoor and outdoor, and conveniently located on the waterfront right next to THE THIEF hotel.

Like you, we’re armchair traveling a lot these days, and planning for the future. 

Haley‘s from New Jersey, but now lives in Greenpoint with husband Alan  – a furniture dealer, designer and founder of sustainable fashion brand, Everyone Wins. Haley is a fashion stylist with an incredible eye for cult brands – she’s worked with the likes of Moda Operandi, Timo Weiland, and NYLON, to name a few. She’s also travel obsessed and loves nothing more than hopping on a plane with Alan to explore somewhere new (or to visit Jamaica, it’s their fave!)

Where you live: Greenpoint, Brooklyn

Where you’re from: New Jersey

What you do: Fashion stylist, travel enthusiast

Five reasons to visit Greenpoint, Brooklyn

The food: For brunch, my ultimate favorite is Glasserie. They do an amazing seasonal mezze brunch that is so fun to enjoy with a group of friends – both the food and the group of friends are things I am very much looking forward to after all this!

For dinner, Alameda is THE spot! It’s the true definition of a neighborhood joint where you get to know your servers and have a go-to cocktail. I especially love it here in the summertime sitting outside people-watching with a bottle of orange wine and some elevated comfort food. 

For drinks, Archilles Heel is a must. It’s off the beaten path in Greenpoint and makes you feel like you’ve found a true treasure. From the crew behind Marlow & Sons and Diner, it makes sense that this bar makes you feel cooler than you are sipping on a whiskey tucked away in a private booth with an amazing soundtrack humming in the background.

The Donuts: It’s not a trip to Greenpoint without indulging in donuts and coffee at Peter Pan. I love sitting at the counter of this old-school bakery pretending it’s the 1950s.

The hotel: The Wythe Hotel is where I recommend my out of town friends and family to stay. It has the right amount of boutique charm, an amazing rooftop bar, and a great restaurant. Its technically in North Williamsburg, but it makes for the perfect location to walk through the park into all your Greenpoint adventures.

The store: I absolutely love Homecoming, a coffee shop / plant & home store. They have great coffee and the sweetest bouquets of flowers that make you want to fill your home.

Dream Fish and Tackle is my favorite for vintage home and furniture finds, plus records – and fish and tackle! This is a father-daughter run operation and lends itself to some serious treasure hunting.

The things to do: New Love City is a great yoga studio, the instructors all have different styles that come with their own unique and amazing approach and I’ve learned to love each one of them. The serene and homey space is so gorgeous that half the time during practice I end up mind wandering about how I would design the studio if it were my own apartment. A girl can dream!

Follow Marine and MTArt Agency for more inspiration.

Five reasons to visit Mayfair, Central London

The food: Fischer’s –  it’s where I had my first date with Will. It feels like a little family and a place where you can read the paper while enjoying a cafe creme. A place out of time for the most meaningful conversations. 

The hotel: The Connaught, I love their art collection.

The store: Suzannah –  the most beautiful dresses made out of vintage couture classic inspirations and materials. I love going into the atelier, it’s such a joy to still have fashion ateliers in Central London.

The things to do: I am lucky that I can walk to the studio of our artist David Aiu Servan Schreiber in 20 min. He is just by Hyde Park and it’s a dream to see him creating there.

The culture: The Royal Academy of Arts –  and I love to discuss all future projects in the Academician Room.
