New York City is funny like that. Some people live here… and some people somehow turn the entire city into their personal film set. ✨
For our latest Hidden City interview, we followed Katja Zwara (
@katjazwara ) through her version of New York — the cozy cafés, downtown hideaways, glamorous uptown moments, random streets with perfect lighting, and those little places you almost don’t want to tell people about because then suddenly everyone shows up.
Born in Germany with Polish roots and now fully in her New York chapter, Katja talks fashion, travel, beauty, animals, favorite corners of the city, and the art of actually noticing things in a place that moves at full speed.
We spent the afternoon with Katja at
@civilianhotel in NYC then ran around the city to some of her favorite spots — coffee in hand, chasing good light, hidden corners, and those very New York moments you can’t really plan for. Honestly, the best kind of city guide there is. 🖤✨
