Issue 2: Helsinki

Encircled by thick woods at the seat of a vast archipelago, Helsinki is a young city where a current of nascent pride cuts new paths and preserves the past.

In this issue:
The torikahvilat, the orange tents of Helsinki's market squares, with their famous breakfasts and apple-mash doughnuts. The island of Seurasaari, where deep in the woods you'll find a centuries-old village, restored from along Finland's eastern borders. The old-school gems of Helsinki's restaurant scene, institutions with classic Finnish fare and interior, unchanged in nearly a century. The sweet smells and folkloric past of a Karelian bakery.
