Copenhagen / Park

Especially lovely in the autumn, Frederiksberg Have is a really grand park in the middle of the district— Freckled with ponds, streams, and an old palace atop a hill in its centre.

Barcelona / Bar

You have to pass by a crappy shop, take the stairs up to the garden!

London / Cafe

A short walk from Oxford Circus tube station, Kaffeine is easily one of the best coffee houses in London. Whenever I'm working in the area I pop in beforehand to kick start my day with a well-made cappuccino.

New York / Museum

The rooftop garden at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The museum floors below are a maze of tremendous art and inspiration, and taking the elevator to the rooftop garden is the icing on the cake. 360' views of verdant green Central Park bordered by cool glass and steel of Manhattan's cityscape in the distance.

Toronto / Cafe

Best Coffee in the city, Hands down! Multiple locations all over the city. Each have their own distinct Atmosphere. The Park location borders Trinity Bellwoods Park. If you want to stroll with your coffee. Keep your eyes peeled for the albino squirrel and watch your step with the slack liners in the park. The staff at SJCB are talented and not preachy about coffee education. It's just good, consistent beverages and assorted pastries. No wifi. Not a place to set up an office for the day. Toronto has lots of those.

Barcelona / Shop

I first came to this store, bike and barber shop to photograph its owner, a well known rapper from Barcelona. It's a nice place to find some good hip-hop classic records, buy a bike and also have your beard or your hair shaved.

Berlin / Bookstore

It is an English language bookstore centering on non-western, diasporic, and queer perspectives. Many many many rare and special books carefully selected by Siddhartha Lokanandi that is the soul of this place! Check it, it is unforgettable :)

Albany / Cafe

Small, airy and nicely designed coffee shop attached to a bicycle shop. Perfect espresso, natural wine and beer, friendly staff, beautifully landscaped outdoor patio and good toast.

New York / Restaurant

I go here mostly because of the vibe, it”s a French bistro meets a plant shop and the sister restaurant to Tartine in the West Village. The Shakchuka and the fennel salad is delicious, so is the onion soup. Cute Rooftop during the summer.

New York / Bar

Make sure you know the size of your party when you arrive, or the formidable looking bouncer may give you a hard time at the door (they prefer no standing inside, all parties must be seated), but once you’re in, the drinks are fantastic and the staff is friendly and accommodating. In addition to cocktails, Pouring Ribbons features an impressive selection of Chartreuse.

London / Museum

A treasure trove in the The City of London. The Archive of London. Strongrooms hold kilometres of shelving; boxes of matter that has somehow been catalogued and categorised in a traceable manner by the public, for academic, genealogical and other research. This beautiful book is from a box on Epping Forest. On the same visit, I looked through photographs of Blitz singsongs in Bethnal Green Underground station, 1980s anti-Thatcher / pro-GLC gig posters and paper concertina optical models of the Crystal Palace.

New York / Restaurant

Another Gramercy all-star, I really like this place, you need a reservation or early arrival, sitting in the bar is always fun and the food is amazing!
