To get out of the hustle of the city, my husband and I love to bike down to Amsterdam's Forest to see the goat farm, or picnic in the sun.  There are also little spots to swim :)

The Tsukiji Market ( Chuo-ku ) If you want to eat Sushi, you should go to Tsukiji not Ginza. This is the biggest market in the world. You can get better quality fish than anywhere else. The auction and cleaning of big fish are worth seeing. I aways come by the first train, take some photo, eat rice bowl dishes.

Sister restaurant to Civerinos.

Is Reykjaviks most famous church. Whenever my friends or family come to visit I take them up to the top where the bells are. You can see all the sides of Reykjavik from above. Its slightly cheaper than a helicopter ride! Just don't go up when the bells are ringing as there is 12 and they are loud.

I didn’t know it existed until I moved to Brixton. Brockwell Park has been a revelation to me, it’s beautiful with many secrets. Check out the outdoor theatre in the summer up by the old house - Midsummer Night’s Dream last year on a midsummer’s night was astoundingly good.

Excellent bar, nice music in warm red interior (with original Pushwagner on the wall). It´s small and usually full, but somehow I always get a table quickly.

Langelinie is the central beach resort in Horsens, where people across age and background meet to enjoy the view, hang out with friends, play in the water, have picnics or take a stroll along the waterfront.  Historically, Langelinie developed during the late 1950s as part of the construction of the industrial harbor in Horsens, where waste soil lay the groundwork for a recreational area. With its closeness to the water and the marina, Langelinie has always been an attractive public area for leisure and outdoor activities. MÆRK Byen* has since 2017 created several temporary project at Langelinie to support the urban life and activities at the area. At Langelinie, you can meet different urban installations and initiatives throughout the green area, e.g. a long wooden pier, lanes for petanque and beach volley, several playful installations and the trolls Troels, Laura and Julian created from recycled wood by artist Thomas Dambo. During the summer, Langelinie resents a variety of cultural events for all ages, e.g. outdoor yoga, building workshops, music, outdoor cinema and much more. During summer, Langelinie is also use as a circus place with elephants grassing nearby. *MÆRK Byen is an initiative that creates temporary urban spaces, cultural events and urban life in Horsens. MÆRK Byen is part of The Municipality of Horsens and is a corporation between The Planning Department and The Culture and Event Department.

New Chinese bistro inspired by cyber punk and re-imagined by a young pair of modern food culture enthusiasts at downtown, Shanghai. Great for casual dinner and natural wines with folks

Good Luck is a restaurant/bar offering cuisine made from seasonal, local ingredients, and craft cocktails in an industrial loft space with an open kitchen. For me it is my first choice for casual elegance in Rochester. One of the three owners, Chuck Cerankosky is a good friend and a fellow industrial designer who trained in the program which I now run at the Rochester Institute of Technology.

Looking for books on Sound Art, Photography, Art or Cultural Theory? Then Conor Donlon's bookshop is the place to go. Supplying printed matter for a variety of tastes this delightful shop has a lot to offer. Ranging from fanzines and fashion magazines to books on underground culture, artists writings and sheer bizarre booklets on uncommon sexual practices, this engaging shop has something for everyone. Conor also deals in rare and out of print books and John Waters is a frequent customer. If you come soon you might just be in time to pick up one of John Waters signed copies of: 'Role Models'.

The best live jazz band I ever heard was at a packed out night in Brilliant Corners. I was happy to be squashed.

The owners of the very popular and charming cafe Liebling are these days opening a second place around the corner. It´s named after a popular children's song, Kanskje kommer kongen ( Maybe the king will come). Lovely as they are, they want to unite the city's young population with the elderly by running a cafe inside a retirement home. What´s not to like, I think the king should come!
