My friends, Dee & Ricky, recently opened up their own restaurant at the ripe age of 24 in the Clinton Hill neighborhood. I stop in here every now and then for the roti. Also, there's a really cool (Nigeria-owned) sandwich & smoothie spot next door that is not pictured.

Amsterdam / Bookstore

Small bookstore in the center of Amsterdam with the likes of Experimental Jetset, Metahaven and Karel Martens.

Los Angeles / Street Food

Best ceviche in LA. Hands down.

Tokyo / Shop

Shibaura House is a unique workshop space in an office district. The building was designed by Kazuyo Sejima, an architect who has often worked outside of Japan. The first floor has self-published zines from all over the world, sent in by small publishers. It's kind of like a park: there are tables and chairs that anyone can sit on while looking at the zines. It's free of charge.

New York / Street Food

Corner bodega with the best chopped cheese. It will blow your mind.

Los Angeles / Other

Being in and around the freeways... especially Driving on the bridge that connects the 10 west fwy to the 405 south, over looking city landscape that should be cherished because it is a fleeting moment that only lasts a few seconds.

London / Community Centre

Home to hundreds of stray cats and dogs.

Stockholm / Restaurant

If you like nature wine and the french foodie scene go here. Reminds me of Paris in Stockholm.

San Francisco / Place

I love visiting Land's End early in the morning when the light is new and the city is waking up. There's a spectacular view of the bridge and the north bay. Makes me grateful to live in San Francisco.

Valencia / Bar

This old factory located in the “Playa del Cabanyal” beach used to produce ice for the fishing industry, due to its proximity to the Valencia harbor. It still conserves it’s industrial essence, but nowadays has become a leisure space that gathers gastronomy, live music and theater. It is an industrial space combined with an eclectic furnishing that make it a very cozy place. You can find the events schedule on it’s website.

Los Angeles / Gallery

South Willard is both elegant and laid back. Let's call it High Folk. It functions as both an art & design gallery and boutique. It's extremely well curated with a heavy focus on ceramics by artists both known and newly discovered. Peter Shire, Ruby Neri, Jason Meadows.., work by artists I have known and admired for decades can be found here and acquired in a means considerably more approachable than through the other galleries that represent them. South Willard is a friends and family affair and the experience feels warm and welcoming. Have fun.

Tokyo / Cafe

A small cafe / restaurant in the heart of Aoyama. Does a really good homemade lemonade.

Los Angeles / Artist

Matthew Brandt (b. 1982, Los Angeles) received his BFA from Cooper Union in 2004 and MFA from the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) in 2008. Interested in physicality, process and landscape, Brandt’s ability to stretch the readings of an image, multiplying them both physically and conceptually, speaks directly to his interest in how images loom and meanings shift within a shared visual history. His work is the clever manifestation of a photographic alchemist, satisfying the urge for the tangible, and grounding us in the present. Brandt’s precocious talent has landed him in the permanent collections of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), the Armand Hammer Museum (Los Angeles) and the Elton John Collection. He currently lives and works in Los Angeles.
