Cerca is reinventing the guide book for the modern traveler. Cerca Guides are podcasts, written and hosted by locals, filled with episodes that deliver information and stories about somewhere in the world: everything from food to music, history, architecture, sports, fashion and more. Like the story of how The Blitz shaped London’s culture and architecture. Or how to eat a taco for every meal of the day in Mexico City. 

Plan the perfect trip, full of authentic experiences. Or listen in the flow of your daily life, while immersing yourself in the sounds and feels of a new and extraordinary place. New episodes will be released all the time, soon there will be a Guide for anywhere you want to go.

And there's even more in the Cerca app - bonus content, maps, and info on the points of interest mentioned in our episodes. Listen, become inspired and plan all without worrying about having to hit pause and take notes - because the info you need is waiting for you in the Cerca App.  

Cerca: Love the world you live in. We'll help you explore it.

The Big Apple. The City that Never Sleeps. Gotham. The City So Nice They Named it Twice. Or simply, The City New York just has too big a personality to be contained by one name. And while it may seem intimidating if you’ve never been - or if it’s been a while - we’re here to help you have the kind of New York experience that Sinatra would sing about.

There are over 25,000 restaurants in the city and that’s just the official eateries. So many of the finest restaurants in the world are here that it would be impossible to cover them all.

So instead, we’re going to focus on the fundamental flavors of NYC - the places from which all that culinary greatness came. From Bagels and NY Slices to Chinese Bakeries and Nepalese Momos, put down your fork and knife, this is where to eat in NYC… with your hands.

There are film towns like LA. Music towns like Nashville. Food Towns like Chicago. And New York likes to go toe to toe with all of them. But above all, New York is a theater town. Not just a theater town, the theater town. In this episode, we go back to the glory days, when theater caused riots, exploded culture, and made this town much of what we know and love today. Cue the kickline.

There’s nowhere else in the world with Mob history like New York City, and in this episode, we’re gonna get into all of it. Like why the places with the best meatballs in this city are also the places where the red sauce wasn’t always tomatoes. How some of the most iconic New York spots have mob fingerprints all over them. And of course, why the mob stories that have become America’s great modern myth could have only happened in NYC. Leave the gun. Take the cannolis. And let’s get started.

You can argue all you want about Punk’s birthplace, but there’s no question that it was defined in NYC. The Velvet Underground and Blondie and CBGBs on the Lower East Side in the 70s and 80s?…That’s as New York as the subway or a hot dog with mustard. The Ramones, The New York Dolls, Patti Smith, Television and the legacy of Punk is ingrained in the fabric of New York City in ways you might never have realized. So get ready to jump into the pit and shout along.
