Fare Magazine / Issue 06 / Tbilisi

Fare is a bi-annual print publication exploring city culture through the intersection of food, history, and community.

Each issue is guided by locals of the city. We work with as many local writers, photographers, and illustrators as possible, so that in addition to expert insight, you also get a sense of the creative aesthetic.

The magazine is curated and designed to be interesting for all readers— regardless of prior interest, or intention to visit. We’ve heard from numerous readers that issues of the magazine summon up the real spirit of their home town, or motivate them to vacation somewhere new and different. It can be a roadmap, or just armchair reading.
