Cool Hunting
Luxe Tokyo by Josh Rubin
Luxe City Guide, Tokyo edition. Made from a durable paper stock and folded in to just the right size to fit in a jacket pocket, the Luxe guide will certainly be there with me whenever I find that mysterious sponsor who's going to pay my way. The Luxe guide, as the name suggests, features all top notch shopping, dining and lifestyle info you need. And it's written with a snarky British tone that provides some entertainment along with the valuable information.
