Hi, I'm Maia.

(Pronounced Maya)

I'm a visually obsessed, native New Yorker, who's always searching for the coolest in design, food & travel.

Over the last 5 years, I left a well established career in healthcare to pursue my passion for design and writing. This website is my little piece of inspiration, thoughts & adventures as I seek out the most creative spaces & experiences around the world.

I hope you find this inspiring & share with me what inspires you as well! I'd love to hear from you. Thank you for visiting!

xx,

Maia

May 4 Gardenia opens in the West Village

Maia Alejandro

Just in time for summertime fun comes the opening of a new West Village hot spot, Gardenia. With a Latin-Mediterranean vibe and fresh Caribbean style, I cannot wait to spend a few hours here sipping Mojitos.

e s t i l o TIP: One of the owners is a Mixologist, so you know the Mojitos are on point!
