That's the view from James Knight-Paccheco and it's one worth paying attention to.

Chefs channelling world-class craft into formats everyone can enjoy. Hotels reimagining what a local experience feels like. Residents falling deeper in love with the city they call home. The local guest isn't just passing through. They're the heartbeat of the scene.
