About

TheCityTraveler.com is the product of a group of experienced travel journalists who have visited every continent, and explored both the great sights and the hidden treasures of the world’s best and biggest cities. Our bylines have appeared in major travel magazines, as well as a myriad of daily newspapers, web sites, and inflight publications. We’ve covered travel for businesspeople, for brides, for luxury travelers, and for architecture, design, and arts aficionados.

We love cities, not just for their cultural riches and enticing nightlife, fine dining and endless street food, parks and trails, teeming streets and neon signs. We love them for the little things, too: their pocket parks, quiet squares, and fountains. We love them for their button boutiques, cookbook shops, and gnome-filled windows. Cities — big and small — charm us with all manner of variety and with this site we hope to share some of our discoveries with you. Dig in, and dig deep. You never know what you might find.

Founding Editors:

Robert DiGiacomo is a veteran features writer whose travels have taken him Down Under, south of the border, across the pond and almost everywhere in between. He loves to see how others live, work, play — and eat — in urban places around the globe. His work can be seen regularly in major magazines, newspapers and web sites, including USA Today and USA Weekend, the Washington Post, CNN.com, Travel Holiday, the Boston Globe, Wine Spirits Quarterly, and Yahoo.com. He also has been a frequent contributor to Fodor’s travel publications, and enjoys a weekly brush with fame as the main casino entertainment writer for The Press of Atlantic City. For the latter, he’s chatted up everyone from Jon Stewart, Bill Cosby and Bill Maher to Stevie Nicks, Alanis Morissette, and the one-and-only Charo. Contact: Robcomo [at] aol.com.

JoAnn Greco is an inexhaustible (almost!) flaneur and inveterate window-shopper who has made the intersection of travel, architecture, and urban life a specialty of her writing. Her work has appeared in National Geographic Traveler, the Washington Post, the Toronto Globe and Mail, Fodor’s, Art & Antiques, Bridal Guide, Modern Bride, Metropolis, AIA Context, Planning, Interiors, Hospitality Design, forbestraveler.com, and dozens of other publications. Like Samuel Johnson, who famously said “when a man is tired of London, he is tired of life,” JoAnn could happily return again and again to not only London, but New York, Paris, and Tokyo. But, then, she’s yet to explore Beijing’s hutongs, Lisbon’s piazzas, and Melbourne’s lanes. Contact: JPhila [at] aol.com.

Cathleen McCarthy spent her childhood in Los Angeles but has gravitated since then to more weathered and walkable towns — bikable and boatable, even better. She has lived in Washington DC, Nantucket, and Philadelphia, and explored most of the capitals of Europe, Asia, and the South Pacific. She writes a lot about museum exhibitions, design and collecting — particularly gems and jewelry — but a perfect trip for her combines urban culture with plenty of outdoor adventure. You can read Cathleen’s stories in her other online magazine/blog, The Jewelry Loupe, as well as Town & Country, Country Living, AmericanStyle, Four Seasons, More, US Airways, Departures, MSN City Guides and the Washington Post.
