The City Play List
“A quick-fire, no-frills, absolutely-not-organized-in-any-sensible-way compilation of everywhere we’ve ever vibed.”
The City Play List is your shortcut to the best of every city — curated from our own travels across the globe. Think of it as the answer to “where should we eat, drink, and explore?” without the endless scrolling. Every recommendation is firsthand, every list is built from experience, not algorithms.
If you’re looking for perfectly categorized lists and detailed maps, check out our hotel reviews for luxury stays. But if you’re down for adventure, welcome to the list that actually gets you places.
The Evolution of The City Play List
It all started with a simple message we’ve seen dozens—if not hundreds—of times: “Hey, I’m heading to XYZ for a week… any recommendations?”
Whether it popped up in Instagram DMs, a text, or Facebook Messenger, the question kept coming. Consequently, the answers began to evolve too. What started as casual replies soon transformed into The City Play List—a collaborative series of detailed Apple Notes.
Over time, close friends contributed their own finds, and we updated the vault with every new adventure. This collection eventually became a digital goldmine of travel secrets. We realized it was simply too good to keep to ourselves.
“Now, we are taking it public to help you make the most of your travels.”
MEET THE CURATORS
Dack & Kerry
Since we live life with a suitcase always half-packed, we have had the joy of exploring countless corners of the globe. You might find us sipping a velvety cabernet in Napa Valley or catching golden hour at a rooftop bar in New York City. Similarly, we love uncovering hidden dinner gems in Tulum.
Because of this lifestyle, friends and followers constantly ask Dack & Kerry for advice. As a result, we’ve become a trusted go-to for where to eat, stay, and toast to life. Essentially, this site is our way of gathering those experiences into one vibrant hub for fellow seekers of unforgettable places.
