Cover reveal for Unseen Places! For the past few years, I’ve been investigating what it means to observe, tracing the history of the act, its uses in art and science, and its significance today — a time of heightened anxiety, loneliness, and distraction. The act of noticing has always been central to my life, but this chance to reconsider it closely and intentionally rewired so much of my daily existence and how I interacted with the city. I explored observational practices and insights from Italy’s umarells, scientists researching smell in Southeast Asia, conceptual artists in New York, bonobo apes in the Congo Basin and beyond. It all comes together in this book, which is in ways both a memoir and a meditation, blending reporting, cultural criticism and my own experiences of observing in the 21st century. Unseen Places will be on shelves in the US and UK in March 2027, and preorder is open now. 🍊 Preorder wherever you find your books.

You’ll never look at a fence the same way again. Reporter Anna Kodé invites us into her world, where every object, even an orange peel, has a story to tell. 27 Aug 2025

(Last Sesame Street post, I promise!) Never thought I’d work on a story that has Jane Jacobs, Joe Pesci and Elmo all in one. Apart from the giant yellow bird, the red furry monster and the blue Muppet with an insatiable appetite for cookies, Sesame Street appears as real as the New York City streets that inspired it. Metal trash cans, a brownstone and rickety fire escapes. More than 50 years old, Sesame Street has endured, in part, because it is both realistic and idealistic at once. Through its aesthetics, the show is grounded in reality; and through its messaging, it portrays a vision of how urban life can be. Read my full analysis of the set @nytimes. #sesamestreet #setdesign #janejacobs #journalism 01 Aug 2025

Like the white picket fence, long a symbol of the so-called American dream, the stainless steel fence embodies a similar sense of making it. But the steel fence is not muted or uniform; it twists and turns to the taste of the maker, personalized with various ornaments, including lotus flowers, “om” symbols and geometric patterns. At night, street lamps and car headlights exaggerate the glimmer of stainless steel that does not, cannot disappear into the darkness like wrought iron. Whereas some people might be turned off by the flashiness, standing out is exactly its point — the stainless steel fence is an undeniable signal that the homeowner has arrived. *** My deep dive into New York’s stainless steel fences for @nytimes. 14 Jun 2022

last month, i was recognized with the ochs award for best rising journalist at the @nytimes. it was a real honor, and a surprise! over the years, ive written about the cultural significance of steel fences, the urban design of sesame street, the death of the public bench and more. i love my stories, i pour my heart and soul into each one. but in a constantly hectic news cycle, it’s easy to forget the importance of writing on everyday life and culture. thank you to my editors and mentors, i am so grateful. and thank you to @tadashiadamson for telling me to write in the first place. after winning, all i wanted to do was race home to celebrate with you. 25 Mar 2026

wrote about the new geography new yorkers are creating and traversing, the ephemeral desire paths forming across the city ❄️ photos by @amirbangs 10 Feb 2026

collaborated with @arnold_daniel for this latest piece, which is on how an increasingly tap-to-pay world is hurting the many people who still rely on cash, including street performers, candy sellers, the homeless and more. we went around the city speaking with these folks, and also observing how the rise of digital payments is affecting interactions between new yorkers 23 Nov 2025

@dreambabypress asked @kindofanna for a list of 10 things she loved and 10 things she hates. Anna Kodé is a features reporter with The New York Times, covering culture, New York and real estate. Her writing has taken her to Joan Didion’s estate sale, a hamlet of spiritualist mediums and Mattel’s Barbie archives. 13 Feb 2024

The paradox of posting this piece on social media is that it’s really a call to pay attention to things that aren’t on social media. Anyway, so happy with my first essay for @nytmag. Big thank you to Ismail Muhammad for the edit. And thank you to everyone who has written with words of appreciation — I’m overwhelmed by the response and so glad it meant something.

The story of Alice Mason is also the story of how we form identity, the allure and illusions of high society and the weight of the secrets we bear. When I first started working on this story, almost a year ago, Alice was still alive. We spoke once, very briefly, and she passed away a few weeks later. I spent the following 11 months piecing together her life through speaking with relatives and people she worked with, as well as digging through old interviews and reports going decades back. A heartfelt thank you to @dominiquerichard15 for trusting me with this incredible story and sharing so many vivid details and anecdotes. 27 Nov 2024
