These eclectic guides written by actual residents of each locale are full of hidden gems. Whether you want a traditional madeleine, a bagel from a Jewish bakery, or an éclair with a Japanese twist, Paris Like a Local knows all the best spots. Indulge in a wild winter escape from the hustle of London with a swim alongside the "thick-skinned regulars" (and the ducks!) at Hampstead Heath Ponds. Modernize your closet with a work of wearable art at Assembly New York, an independent boutique in the Lower East Side. Prepare to eat, drink, shop, and explore the arts, nightlife, and outdoors like a lifelong local! (CH)
