Classic Bagels from Montreal

Istanbul / Bar

Kadiköy is the slightly calmer equivalent to all the happenings in Beyoğlu, and yet, a must see place. Lâl Bar, located on the infamous Bar Sokağı (Bar Street), is a definite for a late afternoon beer. Renovated from an Ottoman house, the interior is covered with dark wooden walls and accents. A stay later into the evening will grant a local dj or band, and the location allows for bar hopping with ease.

Barcelona / Shop

Casa Protea is a plant collectors studio based in Barcelona. A gathering place for plant lovers run by Jesús and Pancho.

Brighton / Shop

This is Sandpiper bookshop in the North Laine. The North Laine is a very old residential and shopping area. the majority of shops, cafes and bars are independent and have been that way since I arrived almost 20 years ago. Sandpiper stock hundreds of current and out of print photo books at very competitive prices. Here i can gouge away....The music is ace too.

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.

Los Angeles / Cafe

My favorite diner; food is really good and the decor is fun.

São Paulo / Hotel

This hotel has an absolutely spectacular view of Sao Paulo.

London / Restaurant

Cape Town / Bar

New Harbour, is a craft distillery, run by the amazing due Nic and Andri Janeke. They will not only serve you the best Gin in Cape Town, but will also make you feel happy and at home. You have to try their Vodka, Rooibos Infused Gin and Spekbook Gin, honestly my favourite Gin on the planet.

Brussels / Restaurant

Small menu, dishes to share, great natural wine selection, always surprising!

New York / Bar

Has no sign outside, so you might miss it, but if you do happen to find it, you will feel like you have walked into the 1920's. Its very chic, with Black and white marble decor, candle light and ambience to go with a great list of cocktails and whiskeys etc.

London / Club

This is over the road from my house and kind of feels like being transported back in time to the goth night I used to go to when I was 15. But much much bigger with much more entertaining outfits, cages, lasers and… BBQ.
