Verve – July 2019

132 JUNE - JULY 2019

KARLA BOOKMAN,

FOUNDER-EDITOR AT THE SWADDLE

“My first time eating at the iconic Irani cafe

Britannia & Co. at Ballard Estate was a

revelation — I never liked potato chips until

I tried sali boti for the first time. The same

goes for the caramel custard. I could eat

there every day.”

“There’s the constant excitement of knowing that anything can happen at anytime.

It’s that feeling of perpetual anticipation that makes New York so electric.”

“HOME IS

WHEREVER YOU

FEEL SAFE AND

UNDERSTOOD.”

“Living in different places teaches you to be adaptable, it has a

downside too. It makes staying still for a long duration very difficult —

I have this perpetual urge to go somewhere else.”
