Time Flies
comments
Time really does fl y when you’re having fun. It’s hard to believe it’s
been a year since we relaunched Hemispheres. Since then, we’ve scoured
underwater caves for medical remedies (“The Treasure Hunter,” August
’09), painted the town with enigmatic French street artist JR (“Street
Fighter,” October ’09), gone a few rounds with
HEMISPHERES
THREE PERFECT DAYS: SAN DIEGO // LITTLE HAVANA’S WARMING TREND // JIMMY CARTER GOES NUTS

The School of Visual
Arts graduate is
currently working with
Criterion Collection.
“I’m really excited
about AK 100: 25 Films
of Akira Kurosawa.
I designed it inside
and out,” he says.
His favorite place to
sample umami (“Flavor
of the Month,” page

in Los Angeles. “I love
burgers in general,”
he adds.
Chicago’s female boxing phenoms (“Girls of
Summer,” December ’09) and visited a fl oating
hospital treating survivors of the Haitian
earthquake (“To Aid and Comfort,” April ’10).
We reinvented Three Perfect Days and traveled
everywhere from New Orleans to Shanghai,
earning kudos along the way from the North
American Travel Journalists Association, which
named 3PD the year’s Best Travel Series. If
you missed those stories, go to our website,
hemispheresmagazine.com. You can peruse all
that and more, and add your own two cents.
Maybe you have a favorite Long Island
vineyard that didn’t make it into 3PD? Let
fellow travelers know about it. Michael W. Cater, M.D., directed readers of
“Three Perfect Days: Montreal” to the Sir William Osler Library, declaring it
“a must-see for all those interested in medical history.” Meanwhile, “Three
Perfect Days: Sonoma” drew recommendations from foodies like Lisa
Villarini, who gushes about Dry Creek Kitchen, proclaiming, “The food is
exceptional!” (With chef Charlie Palmer running the show, we don't doubt
it.) We also welcome your ideas for stories and your rants and raves. And
while you're at it, wish us a happy birthday.
