New York / Bar

A dark (and decidedly hip) bar on the LES, the only light at Beverly’s comes from the glow of its neon signage. The walls of this watering hole are lined with artwork by local artists, but only those whose art has previously been exhibited in galleries. The drinks are cheap and the music is good, and the vibes are perfect for hanging out, chatting, and maybe even getting drunk enough to start a dance party.

Florence / Bar

My favourite café in Florence, where you can not only drink coffee (if you lucky enough, you'll get it in ToiletPaper mug), but also buy some designer objects (including ToiletPaper gems) or flowers and plants, and, in the evening, listen to live piano music, sitting at the loooong wooden table. Everything five minutes from the Santa Maria del Fiore.

Belfast / Bar

If you're anywhere near the Cathedral Quarter. and in search of a Guinness (or beverage of choice), Muriel’s Café Bar will call out to to you with a great big warm glow. A haven of velvet and neon, with a string of fancy pants adorning the ceiling (perfectly normal). This was a cosy, friendly bar, with an enviable liquor collection. We went back a couple of times during our stay. We didn't eat there but I think it does food too.

Los Angeles / Park

I love living in a city where I can easily go hiking during the day and be home by dark. Griffith is just massive and untamed, it has a wild feel about it in places. Views of LA, the ocean, and the Hollywood sign.

London / Shop

A winding side street that links hectic Oxford Street and Tottenham Court Road, Hanway Street, with its odd mix of old-style Spanish flamenco bars and second-hand vinyl stores, is a bit of an anomaly. I’ll be surprised if they all withstand the Tottenham Court Road redevelopment but I hope they do.

New York / Attraction

The best part of the new Whitney Museum is the view in all directions from the terrace - and also from the staircase facing West. I'm afraid it upstages the Art.

Tokyo / Attraction

This cave at the foot of Mt. Fuji is located in the spread of volcanic rocks, surrounded by sea of trees where compass is no use. The temperatures drop suddenly, and you will not be able to stay inside the cave for long. However, the explorers will go further inside seeking for the bats flying around. It is highly recommended to visitors of the sacred Mt. Fuji .

Barcelona / Market

After waking up on a lazy saturday I love going to La Boqueria market (Mercat de Sant Josep) to buy some vegetables, fruits, fish to set up a nice lunch at home.

New York / Shop

Fun shopping for very well-curated vintage. It feels like a series of art galleries that sell clothing and housewares.

New York / Area

Growing up I’d go to Staten Island a lot due to how close it was to my hometown. It wasn’t until I went back as an adult that I realized the uniqueness of this place, the outdated but also artistically beautiful aesthetic of the island, and appreciated it more. Plus the food (lots of diners and Italian food) is great and people watching is also pretty interesting.

London / Pub

My favourite local beer garden.

Leipzig / Cafe

Located in an old butcher’s place. Those tiles! (The photo is from the previous café but it looks even better now...)

Rotterdam / Illustrator

Straight from the 'Wild West' of the Netherlands Joren Joshua (1990) serves his pertly and playful illustrations for the cool. In graphic balanced settings lanky characters pass by to reflect on daily life, in a humorous way. Strongly influenced by graffiti and printing techniques Joren tries to make his mark on commercial and personal projects. Doesn't matter what form or scale.
