The City Playlist: Find Our Vibe
Welcome to the City Playlist! This is your quick-fire, no-frills, absolutely-not-organized-in-any-sensible-way compilation of all the places we’ve eaten, boozed, clubbed, slept, and just generally vibed with. It’s less “meticulously curated itinerary” and more “trust us, you’ll dig it.” So, if you’re looking for perfectly categorized lists and detailed maps, check out our hotel reviews for some luxury stays. But if you’re down for a little adventure and a whole lot of shared good times, welcome to the playlist that actually gets you places – and probably a few laughs along the way.
Jump to some of our most asked about “things to do” cities:
It all started with a 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 message, or Facebook Messenger, the question kept coming, and so did the answers. What began as casual replies soon evolved into The City Playlist—a collaborative series of detailed Apple Notes packed with our favorite spots, insider tips, and can’t-miss experiences from cities we’ve visited.
Close friends have added to the list, we have updated it with every new adventure and over the last few years, this digital vault of recommendations became too good to keep to ourselves. So now, it’s going public. Welcome to the ultimate destination guide, born from shared experiences, countless miles, and a genuine love of helping people make the most of their travels.
As someone who lives life with a suitcase always half-packed and a passport within arm’s reach, we have had the joy of exploring countless corners of both the United States and the wider world. Whether sipping a velvety cabernet in Napa Valley, catching golden hour atop a rooftop bar in New York City, or discovering a tucked-away hidden dinner gem in Tulum, people are always asking Dack & Kerry for recommendations. Over time, we’ve become a trusted go-to for advice on where to eat, stay, relax, and toast to life—no matter the city or season. Part of this site is our way of gathering all those experiences, anecdotes, and insider tips into one vibrant hub for fellow travelers, foodies, and seekers of unforgettable places.
On each city-specific post, you’ll find curated list and links featuring our favorite restaurants, luxury hotels, boutique hotels, best beach spots, scenic rooftops, and lively bars & clubs that bring a place to life. We don’t just highlight the flashy tourist favorites—we dig deeper, finding hidden gems and local legends that deserve a moment in your itinerary. Whether you’re planning your next adventure or just browsing for travel inspiration, we hope these posts feel like conversations with a well-traveled friend who’s always ready to point you in the most delicious, scenic, or spirited direction!
