Smack in the middle of tourist district and right on the border of the red light district. My good friend (and super talented photographer Qiu Yang, check it out folks!) is part of the furniture there and because of him, we - his friends - are allowed to order outside of the menu. So none of that westernized mild gruel, but the real spicy tongue-numbing-deal. Before going out to parties, after gallery openings or just when we’re hungry, our bunch always gathers there. Good times!

Los Angeles / Pub

The Red Lion Tavern has been a neighborhood tavern in Los Angeles for over fifty years (which is a long time for L.A.), and continues to serve as a landmark for traditional German food, a wide selection of German beer, and cozy Old World atmosphere. Plus the waitresses all wear lederhosen, and it's blocks away from my parents' house.

Miami / Gallery

Being a big fan of Jim Drain before moving to Miami, I knew of this artist run alternative art space that he and Naomi Fisher currently operate together. They have amazing shows and host a myriad of lectures, readings and screenings throughout the year.

Antwerp / Shop

Graanmarkt 13 · A special house where every floor tells a story. Restaurant, shop and apartment all under one roof in Antwerp.

Hong Kong / Cafe

A 'cha chan teng' is Hong Kong's answer to the UK greasy spoon cafe, there are regional equivalents across China but what makes a cha chan teng unique is it's product. Toasted white bread rolls with condensed milk, deep fried chicken wings, pork chop sandwich…the list goes on. There aren't many of these types of establishments left in Hong Kong, but there seems to be a revival in this old-skool way of chilling out over a cup of 'silk stocking tea' (my favourite). I stumbled across the newly opened Lan Fong Yuen in Tsim Sha Tsui's Woodhouse mall, though it also has some small locations dating back to the 1950s.

Antwerp / Restaurant

Delicious Middle Eastern food. Yes, the place is small. Yes, the music can get kind of loud. But the staff and food definitely make up for it. It's that kind of place you go to on a Friday night with your friends and end up ordering way too much food and drinks.

Barcelona / Other

Beautiful Natural park near Cadaques

New York / Cafe

It's the smallest espresso bar making the best espresso drinks in Manhattan.

London / Bar

Bowling alleys, karaoke rooms, pool tables, arcade machines, this is basically Feltham Bowl for adults. Part of the holy trinity along with Max's Sandwich Shop and The Faltering Fullback

Moscow / Department Store

"GUM is not just a store where you can buy almost everything. It is a shopping block where there is a pharmacy, bank branch, and flower shop ... It is a monument of architecture. It is a comfortable lounge area with restaurants and cafes. It is an art gallery and venue for cultural events. It is an integral part of Russian history. It is a symbol of Moscow and it is the closest place to the Kremlin, where you can feel yourself in Europe." Text: Grigory Revzin.

Leipzig / Art

Always a good idea to stop by and visit the exhibitions.

Turin / Architecture

This spot is rich in history and tells you about the origin of the city. Turin was a Roman camp and this was one of the main entrances. It's in the Quadrilatero area, the oldest and most picturesque. Perfect for a stroll, with an ice cream in your hand.

Portland / Photographer

Leah Nash and Christopher Onstott are an award-winning photography & videography duo based in Portland, Oregon. They specialize in real people commercial, editorial, corporate, education, and travel photography. Both originally photojournalists, Leah and Christopher take a moment-driven approach, capturing authentic imagery whether in life, at work, or on set. The result is graphic, storytelling, portrait and lifestyle photography that is full of color, light and intimacy. Not averse to dancing (her), telling bad jokes (him) or listening intently (both), their goal is to leave their subjects a little bit better than they found them. All the while creating a wealth of images that look and feel spontaneous. They feel darn proud to work for brands like Apple, Charles Schwab, Microsoft, Chase Bank, Legacy Emanuel Medical Center, The Oregon Symphony, Marriott, and Portland State University. They also shoot for a variety of editorial clients including National Geographic Traveler, The New York Times, Rolling Stone, The Wall Street Journal, Mother Jones, NPR, and AARP.
