From coast to coast, there’s a new wave of cool co-ops that are changing the way we eat, drink and work
GOOD
Cape Town
From bars and eateries to apparel and even a co-working space and yoga studio, there seems to be almost no reason to ever set foot outside of Good, the latest in Cape Town’s achingly cool developments in the Woodstock neighborhood. Wellness is top of mind, with the minimalist-chic interiors offering decluttered spaces conducive to weekdays spent quietly working (a Mecca for the city’s ever-expanding freelancer community), and weekends whiled away sampling one or more of the low-impact, high-flavor food offerings (there are a wine and insect pairing for more adventurous palates) and testing out the selection of artisanal cocktails. Sustainability is at the core of everything that goes down at Good, making even the most indulgent visits a guilt-free affair. Good peopleofgood.com
