Tokyo / Street Art

Here is a Pipo-kun with his family. He is a most famous police man in Japan. He is working hardly for the peace of city 24-7 without sleeping. His cute smiling face is just the police itself.

Helsinki / Cafe

This place is known for the personal owner, Kostas, from Greece and they say the coffee is great, but I don't drink coffee. I come here for the Hot Chocolate, the best in town.

Milan / Restaurant

I consider e/c natural wine shop a hidden treasure in Milan. Inside a building with an "Emergency" (that is actually an ONG) plaque outside, the first thing one might think is that is a hospital. Once passing the wall, there's a cute internal square, with Basilica di Sant'Eustorgio view. You can sit both inside or outside, which a strongly recommend for spring and summer days. A nice place for just passing by to grab a bottle of wine and drink it at home, having a glass of wine (they have many options) or enjoying a relaxed evening.

Rio de Janeiro / Architecture

Niterói is located just in front of Rio de Janeiro, on the other side of Guanabara bay. The city hosts most of Niemeyer's architectural masterpieces. Among them, the Museum of Contemporary Art of Niterói, which curves are typical of the architect's work. Apart from visiting the contemporary art exhibitions and admiring the architecture of the place, you can also enjoy a breathtaking view over Rio de Janeiro.

New York / Shop

This is where I bought Dax Snow's I love You Stupid and Richard Prince's John Duke Book both inspired me a lot.

A Coruña / Restaurant

Every time I missed Italy I like going to Osteria Peroni. The place for eating a real pasta in Coruña.

New York / Bar

This is one of my favorite bars in Manhattan. It has a courtyard in the middle and they only serve a large selection of Belgian beer. It's always dark with red lights so it's like a giant darkroom with everyone developing hangovers instead of film. The courtyard creates a front bar that is open on the weekends, so if you get cornered talking about architecture you can escape over to the front bar and watch people walk down 4th street.

Maceió / Bar

Botequim Paulista feels like the only place to go when you feel like meeting up with your friends or something like it. It's traditional boteco, with tables in the street, the two owners as waiters and very see-what-happens food - ovo de codorna, sliced calabrezza and peanuts.

Stockholm / Restaurant

It's been at the same address for the last 80 years apparently and serve some classic swedish food like köttbullar and isterband. Being swedish I guess could I either avoid or cherish this, but I choose the latter.

Auckland / Park

A nice park that's close to the city. If you go right to the end and walk down the stairs, there are a few extra places to explore.

New York / Market

This marketplace is home to tons of amazing local restaurants, shops, and vendors— from flowers, meat and cheese, wine, and a food court downstairs. There is definitely something for you here.

Montreal / Restaurant

Recently discovered Tri's restaurant in this lovely lively place near Laurier metro station. Tri Express is the place for delicious - and affordable - refined sushi and chef's specialities. The decor is great too ! Some of you might have heard of Trì Dư because of this hilarious video of him preparing a Royal clam on a TV show that went viral a few years ago - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KrtyIqSzoYI
