My Kind of Place by Susan Orlean is a 2004 collection of her travel writing. There's just over thirty different pieces from her included, with these the ones that stood out...
All Mixed Up - about a neighborhood grocery store in Queens, NYC and the interesting cast of characters that work and pass through there.
Rough Diamonds - on baseball in Cuba, where they love the game dearly.
The Congo Sound - about an African music store in Paris.
The Place to Disappear - covers Bangkok's Khao San Road, known as a gathering spot for itinerant travelers.
