Assouline - “#Carlos's Places” - Carlos Souza. Carlos Souza’s book is a guide to some of his favorite places around the globe, from New York and Paris to Sao Paulo, London, Rome, and Shanghai. In each location, he notes the best the city has to offer by listing his preferred spots to dine, dance, shop, see art, or just get a drink. Along with noting the unique fashion, food, art, and design places of interest. Souza has written little notes on each place, like a familiar travel diary you share with friends.
