The 24-Hour Vacation
One of the site changes I’m happiest about this year is expanding our travel section to include smaller city guides that focus on one ideal day in a town. As much as I’d love to have days on end to explore a new area, I often find myself with only a few hours to check things out in between meetings or family events. So sometimes a shorter guide comes in handy, especially when it’s written by someone who I think would have a good idea of what design-obsessed folks like us would want to see. So early this year we introduced “24 Hours In” to provide more in-depth looks at one local’s ideal day. From Kinfolk Magazine’s guide to Portland to chef Hugh Acheson’s guide to his hometown of Athens, GA, these guides have a personalized feel that I really love. We have dozens more coming this year, but today I wanted to share my 10 favorite “24 Hours In” guides of the year in case anyone reading needs a little help planning a quick getaway for the end of summer. Whether you’re looking to explore Washington, D.C. for a day or visit beautiful Savannah, GA for biscuits and sweet tea, these guides will give you plenty of great ideas. xo, grace
