We’ve taken to the streets to explore that preeminently equalizing public space, the heart and soul of community life in so many of the world’s Latin capitals. In this issue, we’re giving you a map to the top Latino street vendors and food trucks in New York City. We connected with ESPN’s Martin Ainstein for his reflections on Brazil and the recent World Cup. We’re bringing you Carolina Guerrero and novelist Daniel Alarcon, who, with their project Radio Ambulante, are remaking Spanish-language radio, taking it out of the studio and into the streets. There’s a new kind of public art in Mexico City. A worldwide cumbia explosion, centered in New York. A postcard from that marvelous city, Rio de Janeiro. And public love: selections from 100 kisses from around the world.
