For people who like their cities walkable, their meals cozy, and their travel… slower

I’m Julia. Born in Russia, educated in Germany, refined in New York

I’m fluent in five languages, and a full-time language teacher. I spend my days helping people speak like locals, and now I want to help you travel like one too

This Guide Is for You If…

💭 You like to wander, not rush

💭 TikTok lines aren’t your idea of discovery

💭 You’d rather find a hidden café than follow a food map

💭 A quiet bookstore beats a crowded “must-see”

💭 You want NYC to feel lived-in, not checked off

💭 You’re here for real tips, not recycled lists

and if you don’t want to travel like this… :)

What Makes This Guide Special?

A Taste of What’s Inside

This guide isn’t trying to be “the ultimate New York list” or tell you where to take selfies.

It’s just the places I take my friends when they visit — cafés I love, corners you’d walk past, and spots where locals actually hang out.

Download it, read it on the plane, and wander better.
