Maya writes the inner-loop beat: Montrose, the Heights, EaDo, Midtown, and the African and global rooms that anchor them. She looks for the room that defines a block, walkable in a city that mostly isn't.

Five rooms, every Friday.
The new opening, the sleeper the score just flagged, and the one room worth booking this week. Free.
