Red October is a former industrial area in central Moscow that's included a chocolate factory Red October, hence the name. Today it's one of the most flamboyant altough inconveniently located cultural quarters, full of art galleries, bars, fashion stores, a design school, night clubs and edtiorial offices of magazines. The photo (depicting a rather typical business redevelopment on the other shore of the Moskva River) was taken from a terrace that's part of the editorial office of Bolshoi Gorod magazine for which I have the privilege to photograph from time to time.

New York / Attraction

Say Hi to "hip" in Greenpoint?! Yes: That´s the place for (late) summer nights and days: waterfront gastropub featuring American plates & cocktails, plus a patio with skyline views. Weekends are crazy packed (of course).

New York / Music Venue

Brooklyn's only black-owned Jazz Club and musician-run nonprofit supporting the arts and community since 1981.

Cologne / Cafe

Café Duddel is a café and bar near University that looks like if it is hosting generations of students since decades. It feels like a kitchen, living room and saloon at the same time and in the smaller building in the back you can spend a whole day sitting on a cosy sofa smoking, drinking coffee and playing chess. In the evening there are sometimes small concerts or lections too.

Amsterdam / Restaurant

Mussels, french fries and gin & tonics... need I say more?

New York / Botanical Garden

A wonderful farm in the middle of NYC.

Ottawa / Market

As a child in Hong Kong, I was always mesmerized by all the glass and mirrors and the way they created this illusion of space. My favourite were aquariums with seahorses in them. Kowloon Market in Chinatown satiates my aquaphilia with their fish tanks, while also satiating my appetite for freshly bonked fish cleaned and ready to be steamed.

New York / Restaurant

One of the best pasta dishes i've ever had. Raggu pastas are heaven!

Milan / Gallery

Modern design space and gallery, home of Capsule magazine. Store and coffee shop next door.

Stockholm / Restaurant

Lovely food with whatever the season offers in the restaurant but also got a connected bar and nightlife events. The yard is a great spot to spend summer evenings and it always has a friendly vibe.

Paris / Bookstore

So much inspirations in this beautiful bookstore at Palais de Tokyo museum. Hours and hours to spend there before or after a visit at the exhibitions.
