Opened in 2011 by the people at Magnum Photo Agency (their Paris bureau is a few streets away), Le Bal is an institutional exhibition space dedicated to the documentary image. For the most part that means lots of photography exhibits but they like to mix up the shows with videos and especially books. They hold conferences with a great line-up of guest speakers and screen documentaries and other films at the nearby Cinéma de Cinéastes. Be sure to check out the bookshop where you can browse through their connoisseur’s collection of high-end photo books and limited edition zines. Le Bal Café is a great place to meet friends for a quick drink or sit down and taste Anna and Alice’s Anglo-French cuisine. And if you’re wondering why it’s called Le Bal, the space was once a dance hall cum brothel in the roaring ‘20s.

A little island/beach community in Kanagawa, which is about an hour away from downtown of Tokyo by train. The beach there is really dirty but I love the place. I used to work at the radio station by Enoshima as an assistant DJ. After the recording, I hopped on the train to go see the beach pretty often.

New shop in Paris opened by the Pain o Chokolat Crew (street hip hop crew). The Pigalle shop stocks exclusive street culture brands from across the globe. You’ll always meet a bunch of international people when visiting the shop. The Pigalle shop has the hype of street culture but the underlying feelings of a classic shop and the staff is very helpful and friendly.

The Museum of Cycladic Art is a museum in Athens, Greece, dedicated to the art and culture of the Cycladic Islands in the Aegean Sea. It is located in the Kolonaki neighborhood of Athens, and is one of the city's most popular cultural attractions. The museum was founded in 1986 by the Greek art collector Nicholas Goulandris and his wife Dolly, who had amassed a large collection of ancient Cycladic artifacts. Today, the museum's collection includes over 3,000 objects, spanning from the Neolithic period to the early Byzantine era. The museum's exhibits are organized thematically and chronologically, with displays covering the art, religion, and daily life of the Cycladic Islands. The collection includes a large number of marble figurines and vessels, as well as jewelry, weapons, and other artifacts. Notable pieces include the Harp Player figurine and the Spedos type figurines, which are considered some of the finest examples of Cycladic art. In addition to its exhibits, the Museum of Cycladic Art also hosts a variety of cultural events, including lectures, workshops, and temporary exhibitions featuring contemporary art and other topics. There is also a gift shop and a café on site. Overall, the Museum of Cycladic Art is an important institution for the study and appreciation of ancient Cycladic culture and art, and is a must-visit destination for anyone interested in the history and culture of Greece.

You can grab a coffee or a juice right next door to the KINDL Center in the old brewing Hall at König Otto, complete with all the fascinating brewing equipment from its completion in 1930 it is a hall reminiscent of German Expressionism style… or as stated on their website. :)

If you want to leave the city and breathe in some fresh air, just buy a "Schleswig Holstein Ticket" and go by train to Travemünde. A borough of Lübeck about 1,5 hours away from Hamburg and located next to the sea. It has been a seaside resort since 1802 and has still some architecture, signs and symbols from the 19th century to show.

Made famous by owner Benny from ABBA, this place is pure joy for any real foodie.

An independent bookstore with talks and live music events. It shares its space with a cafe offering coffee and delicious food.

Barlang (the cave) it's a small underground venue just off the Danube bank open on the weekends for concerts, contemporary art exhibitions, and art performances.

Mezzavalle is a semi-hidden bay located on the Ancona coast, about a 40 minute drive from Montecarotto. To arrive at the bay, it’s a 30 minute hike down the hill. In the winter it has a great atmosphere of emptiness and isolation, a good thinking/swimming spot.

In “The secret of the Unicorn” Tintin buys a model of the famous boat at a flea market. The scene takes place on the Place du Jeu de Balle, Hergé particularly liked this place.

Favorite date spot in town with my favorite food on earth.
