Whether you’re a local or tourist, we always feature our favorite spots along with all the new and exciting things our city has to offer.

This issue is built around a simple idea: visibility hits harder when it’s woven into the main story—not parked in the margins. Our feature, Team LGBTQ, tracks the growing, proudly visible cohort of out athletes headed to Milano-Cortina, and why that milestone matters beyond the medal count. Outsports’ tracking puts the 2026 Winter Games at at least 47 out LGBTQ+ athletes, the highest ever recorded for a Winter Olympics—part of a clear upward trend, and a reminder that LGBTQ people have always been here; what’s changing is how many people can live that truth publicly.
