I have been getting burgers here since I first moved to NYC. I think it is 1000 years old or something like that. Only two types of burgers, with or without bacon. I like easy decisions and this place is full of them. There is usually a line to be seated, but it always seems to go fast with $2.50 mugs of McSorley's. It's also at this strange vortex in the west village where 4th street and 12th street cross. Maybe that's why the line never takes too long and everything is so cheap.

Athens / Park

Pedion tou Areos is a large public park located in the center of Athens, Greece. It is situated just north of the National Archaeological Museum of Athens and covers an area of approximately 27 hectares. The park has a long and interesting history. It was originally used as an army parade ground during the Ottoman occupation of Greece, and later served as a military training ground for the Greek army. During the 19th and early 20th centuries, it was also used as a venue for various cultural events, including concerts, fairs, and exhibitions. Today, Pedion tou Areos is a popular destination for locals and tourists alike. It features several walking and jogging paths. The park also contains several large open spaces and a small lake, making it an ideal spot for picnics and other outdoor activities. Overall, Pedion tou Areos is a valuable green space in the heart of Athens, providing a peaceful and relaxing escape from the busy city streets.

Liverpool / Bar

Fab coffee and cocktails in the city centre.

London / Cafe

A great place to start the day if you are in South London is Federation Coffee in Brixton Village. The food is great and so is the coffee. This is a very chilled place where you can get both and indoor and outdoor experience (even though the whole place is under the Village roof).

London / Restaurant

Wonderful place for an indulgent afternoon tea. My favourite room is the millennial pink bathed Gallery room where the walls are covered in a sea of original David Shrigley art. The bathrooms feature beautifully designed individual egg-like pods and there's even a waiter whose sole focus is to serve you caviar.

Berlin / Cafe

What looks like a plant nursery from the outside, is both, a plant nursery housing two rescued Amazonian parrots and a hidden cafe serving up some of the loveliest cakes and cuppas in all of Berlin. Brace yourself fir occasional screeching parrots flying around though that only adds to the charm of Blumen cafe.

Madrid / Restaurant

Great exotic restaurant with a nice vegetarian option menu. Try the chocolate fondant and coconut ice-cream it’s delicous!

Amsterdam / Market

I love how small this place is, but it offers such amazing quality in cheeses, meats, wines, bread etc. You can also have lunch here. Definitely worth picking up fresh food here!

Nagoya / Bar

Yamayamado is a bar with a gallery and the owner is an alpinist. Artists, writers and people from TV comes here night after night. A beautiful affable siberian husky welcomes them. Most of them know each other. I like watching their relationships which seems a little bit complicated, that includes me. The owner is so generous and drinks like me. A 'Closed' sign is always hung in front but, don’t worry, it’s open. 5 mins on foot from Kakuouzan metro station.

Madrid / kiosk

Nice little Kiosk with a good selection of independent magazines.

Vienna / Place

This thermal bath is located a bit outside of vienna but you can find a train to get there and its well worth it. there is 5 different basins, the one pictured being called forest-basin. There is no chlorid in any of them, the architechture of the entrance and the grand basin is amazing and you can see a most peculiar rest of a fomally rich culture of bathing traditions: cabins, that are permanently rent to guests that spend most of their summer there within the bath’s area. While you swim and dry you will walk by a family having their lunch in one of these 25 square meter universes, or watch men playing cards on the balconies, before taking another swim. The pools are located on different niveaus and you will have to find your way through a pretty little forest to reach some of them.

Oslo / Attraction

If you want to get a great view of Oslo, this is the place to go. Holmenkollen Ski Jump is Oslo’s landmark and every day of the year you can get a panoramic view from the observation deck on top of the ski jump.

Moscow / Photographer

I was born in St Petersburg, then, at 11, moved to Siberia where I have lived for 12 more years, graduated from a local university before returning to my hometown in 1998. I took various jobs there before finally turning to photography. From last August I am based in Moscow, a mad metropolis full of contrasts, energy and drama at every corner. In terms of urban design and architecture, many consider it a failed city, and you really have to know it from the inside to be able to appreciate its vibrance and dynamics. In this nostalgic picture (by Savva Bogatyrev), I am on a tram back in St Pete with my wife Veronika.

Rotterdam / Illustrator

Straight from the 'Wild West' of the Netherlands Joren Joshua (1990) serves his pertly and playful illustrations for the cool.

Clément Mancini is a French contemporary artist who lives and works in Paris. After his studies in graphic arts, he moved to Lyon for 6 years where he developed a work of murals paintings in which abstraction took more and more importance. Close to his graffiti roots and to the energy that emanates from the street, he seeks to reinterpret in his works this energy mixing balance in compo- sition and movement, as in the treatment of line and texture.
