Hip & Trendy

You’re walking through the streets as you spot bearded men in flannel shirts in the distance. They are wearing sunglasses with thick black frames. The women next to them are wearing small, black hats that cover their autumn color hair, falling onto their leather jackets and ponchos. The group is drinking from Mason jars and eating sweet potato fries topped with truffle mayo served on wooden boards. What do you do?

  • You are using the front camera of your smartphone to ensure your mustache is twisted properly - or - your pastel colored clutch that you just snagged from a fancy pop-up store is hanging off your shoulder. You're happily walking toward the crowd.

    Next
  • You're curious about these people. You decide to observe them from a closer distance, as you wanted to head that way anyway.

    Next
  • You're not really in the mood for a circus, so you decide to turn around and go somewhere else.

Food & Drink

You’re enjoying your day in New York. When your stomach starts rumbling, you decide to…

  • ... get a quick snack to satisfy your hunger

    Next
  • ... look for a top restaurant nearby to sit down and eat, because what could possibly make the day better than a great meal?

    Next
  • ... ignore it! Time is too precious to spend at restaurants.

    Next

Family

You’re strolling through a park and observe a family having a picnic. Immediately, the sight makes you..

  • ... smile, because spending quality family time is the best thing in the world!

    Next
  • ... think that you could really use a cold beer and a hot dog right now.

    Next
  • ... laugh, because (thank God)- you're by yourself and don't need to take care of anybody. Instead you're free to do whatever you want!

Tourists

For you, meeting fellow tourists in the most amazing places in the world is like…

  • ... a bonfire at camp: the perfect opportunity to learn incredible stories.

    Next
  • ... a night at a wild party followed by a nasty hangover. You can't have one without the other.

    Next
  • ... a large glas of expired milk: simply the worst!

    Next

Shopping

We say shopping, you say…

  • ... Michael Kors meets Sex and the City

    Next
  • ... drop a new item into the online cart and click "Order Now".

    Next
  • ... *facepalm*

    Next

Nightlife

You and nightlife, that’s like…

  • ... the cast of the Jersey Shore out first pumping.

    Next
  • ... Humphrey Bogart and Katharine Hepburn in the Golden Havana Bar.

    Next
  • ... two bears hibernating in their cave for the winter

Art & Culture

Back in 2015, one of Picasso’s art pieces was auctioned for a record breaking $200 million. What’s your first thought?

  • A masterpiece like this belongs into a museum, so everybody can enjoy it.

    Next
  • I would sell my last shirt to own one of Picasso's works.

    Next
  • Who would have thought that Pokemon could paint!
