Fathom s Favorite Links: Week of April 30, 2016

What we're clicking on this week at Fathom HQ.

These paintings inspired by a West Coast road trip are meant to contrast real and imagined versions of America. Were they also meant to be inspirational? Because they make me want to visit Los Angeles. – Daniel, editorial assistant

Speaking of the West Coast, my friend and his best friend are hiking the Pacific Crest Trail this summer. Thrilled for them, and can't wait to follow along on their blog. – Becky, assistant editor

If you're in NYC this Saturday (April 30th) and still searching for the perfect Mother's Day gift, head to Love Your Mama Mother's Day Market to shop indie travel brands, like The Sabah Dealer, Caroline Z Hurley, Noemie, and Seek Collective. – Berit, editor

I may have found the solution to biking around NYC with heavy backpacks — these beautiful bicycle frame bags double as briefcases and carry just about everything, laptop included. – Daniel

I loved Istanbul, especially all their street cats. So imagine my delight when I found out they have an Instagram feed (of course), and a new documentary about their extraordinary lives. – Becky

Traveling through Japan with a DJ on tour and a baby in tow means the hunt for good coffee is on. This Good Coffee blog really hit the spot in Nagoya and Osaka. – Jeralyn, ediotorial director
