FathomHQ's Favorite Links: Top Picks from March 12, 2016
What we were clicking on and talking about this week at #FathomHQ.
I just found my new favorite photo series: The New York Pizza Project, a compendium of photos documenting the old-school pizza parlors of New York City, along with their owners, patrons, and surroundings. It's like Humans of New York by the slice. – Daniel, editorial assistant
I wrote about the travel podcast genre in a recent article on Fathom. The offerings are surprisingly limited, so I was excited to find out that "curated travel experience" company El Camino launched a new show of their own. Give it a listen here. – Berit, editor
The bust of Queen Nefertiti, one of my favorite sculptures of all time, was secretly scanned and turned into a 3-D printable by two German artists/Internet activitists. "The Other Nefertiti" confronts what the artists see as the problematic colonial notions of ownership (the 3,000-year-old Egyptian bust has lived at Berlin's Neus Museum for the last 100 years). – Jeralyn, editorial director
Google's new mobile-only destinations feature enables trip planning and booking from their search engine, which should make it easier to gauge how realistic it would be to replicate trips I read about on Fathom. This article sums up how it works. Search broad (Caribbean, France) to get suggested itineraries, top sights, hotels, and prices (based on the cheapest time to visit) generated with data mined in real-time. – Daniel
Here are eight things to consider before purchasing rental car insurance. – Berit
Now that the weather is cooperating, you might want to check off these 111 cool (free!) things to do in NYC with your kids. – Jeralyn
