London / Museum

Founded in 1828 the museum houses around 67,000 specimens many of which are now extinct or endangered. My favorite is the skull of a Bottlenose Whale from 1860.

New York / Restaurant

Its a great Saturday after museums visit, a Viennese Cafe, for a clear white wine and apple strudel.

Paris / Bookstore

Bookstore focused on architecture / landscape / photography / art books

Montreal / Restaurant

The best best pizza ever! They use a special flour made in Italy and the follow the real traditional recipes... The wine card is AMAZING, full of discoveries and full of natural and bio dynamics wines...

Austin / Cafe

This converted shipping container in my neighborhood has the best iced coffee in the world.

Austin / Shop

There are a few good guitar shops in Austin, but South Austin Music is a pleasantly unpretentious spot where you don't feel too weird picking up an instrument and the staff don't hover too much. The aging building and over-stuffed isles give the store a busy charm and it's easy to get lost playing their wide selection of guitars and basses. Prices aren't amazing, but there are good deals to be had.

Seattle / Restaurant

Dick's is a longest running fast food restaurant in Seattle and a staple of the city. There are 5 locations and I've managed to always live in the same neighborhood as one, which is both a good and bad thing. Burgers, fries and milkshakes, cash only.

London / Restaurant

Traditional Punjabi restaurant that has been serving aromatic, spicy dishes since 1972. Bring your own alcohol.

Amsterdam / Music Venue

A great music venue with ping-pong tables used to be a squat.

Paris / Cafe

Great coffee and records shop

Atlanta / Bar

Bookhouse is a place I've been I'm not sure how many times. When I was in college it was a default destination. When I visited a couple years ago for about a week, went there multiple times during that visit. Ponce de Leon has changed a lot and is continuing to change with all the Beltline construction, Murder Kroger and the Ponce Cameli's are both gone from across the street from Bookhouse, but Bookhouse remains, with it's tiny parking lot that it shares with a tattoo parlor and The Drunken Unicorn music venue. My friend Barry has artwork up on the wall there, otherwise the decor is largely Pacific Northwestern and references Twin Peaks, which is where Bookhouse gets its name.

Los Angeles / Shop

Need some socks? Need some pants? Bacon wrapped hot dogs? Remote control helicopter? A rabbit? Look no further than the Fashion District, L.A.'s version of a Turkish Bazaar. I keep my studio here, too.

Nuremberg / Artist

Lena Müller is an artist living and working near Nuremberg, where she studied art at the Academy of Fine Arts between 2005 and 2010. The majority of her work reflects her fascination for nature and natural sciences, especially her interest in the field of microcosm and macrocosm: „What I am doing is a kind of a philosophical circling around questions of time, space, origin, human existence, cosmos, composition and mystery. Regarding the form, it is the experimental play with a reduced stylistic idiom, made with different tools, materials and techniques, what is exciting for me. Finally I like to create abstracted worlds which give the viewer, and also myself during the artistic process, the freedom to develop our own thoughts and imaginations and to discover the new.“
