Cities from Ellie Kemper

Copenhagen

Copenhagen, Denmark’s capital, sits on the coastal islands of Zealand and Amager. It’s linked to Malmo in southern Sweden by the Öresund Bridge. Indre By, the city's historic center, contains Frederiksstaden, an 18th-century rococo district, home to the royal family’s Amalienborg Palace.

"I'm trying to think of just one — I would love to visit Copenhagen. I've never been and I think that would be a really stunning place to visit that I've only read about and seen pictures of."

Tokyo

Tokyo, Japan’s busy capital, mixes the ultramodern and the traditional, from neon-lit skyscrapers to historic temples. The opulent Meiji Shinto Shrine is known for its towering gate and surrounding woods.

Outside of New York, what are your top travel destinations? "You know what? I love London. I used to live right outside London. I lived there for a year, and I loved going into the city. I think London's a pretty dynamic, vibrant, awesome place.

I also love a Levain cookie — any variety. They're so big, I feel like you're supposed to eat them in several increments, but I always eat them in one.

Coffee

Coffee is a brewed drink prepared from roasted coffee beans, the seeds of berries from certain flowering plants in the Coffea genus. From the coffee fruit, the seeds are separated to produce a stable, raw product: unroasted green coffee.

Are you a coffee drinker? I love coffee, but I have to make sure I don't have more than one cup a day because I'm already a little hyper.

Mexican Turkey Stew

While usually an ingredient in moles, roasted pumpkinseed kernels add another layer of nutty flavor to this posole-style broth. Look for them in specialty markets and health-food stores. Substitute ancho chile powder if guajillo is unavailable.

Everyone has a go-to dish. What’s yours? Mexican turkey stew. It's turkey, salsa, and hominy. You put it in the slow cooker for six hours and it makes the person cooking it look like she knows what she's doing—even when that isn't necessarily the case.

What do you miss from Missouri, where you grew up? There’s this delicacy called toasted ravioli. It's basically just deep-fried. We didn't have it often when I was growing up, but I'd occasionally see it at a special event. It's so good.

NB: What are your desert-island beauty products? EK: I must have facial moisturizer—Embryolisse Lait Crème Concentré ($28)—and lip balm, Aquaphor Lip Repair ($4). Anything else is a bonus. But without these two items, I will age 100 years in an instant.

Nothing. Gets. It. Done. Like. Carmex. I should note here that I am NOT a Carmex ambassador. I just love this stuff. I have tried other lip balms in cool, creative containers and fruity scents. I have used oils and moisturizers and crèmes. And then I unscrew that red cap and gently squeeze that yellow tube, and out drifts that sweet menthol, and only then do I know that I am home.

Le Labo Shampoo

I found a shampoo that works!!!!! Most shampoos leave my dry hair feeling even drier. This shampoo actually thickens my hair. I don’t know what’s in it. I try not to think too much about what could possibly be making my hair this thick. I use the Hinoki fragrance for my hair, and then I finish my shower experience with Bergamote 22 body lotion. Nobody smells better than me during these eight to ten minutes.
