The cathedral of underground comics

If you need somewhere to contemplate leaving your lover, go alone, and if you don't mind them not being there to share something sublime in a glass or a dish, you have your answer.

The Metropolitan Cathedral of Athens, also known as the Metropolis, is the main cathedral of the Greek Orthodox Church in Athens, Greece. It is located in the heart of the city, near Syntagma Square and the Greek Parliament. The cathedral was originally built in the 19th century, on the site of an older church that had been destroyed during the Greek War of Independence. It was designed in a neoclassical style by the German architect Friedrich von Gärtner, and features a large central dome and two smaller domes on either side. The interior of the cathedral is richly decorated with Byzantine-style frescoes and mosaics, as well as ornate iconography and intricate wood carvings. It has a capacity of over 5,000 people, making it one of the largest churches in Athens. The Metropolis is an important religious and cultural institution in Greece, and is the seat of the Archbishop of Athens and All Greece. It is also a popular destination for tourists, who come to admire its impressive architecture and beautiful interior decorations. In addition to its religious functions, the cathedral is also used for a variety of cultural events and concerts throughout the year, and is an important venue for the city's cultural life.

Small shop in San Juan that sells curated designer goods. A great place to shop from local designers too.

A long weekend brunch is my idea of the perfect meal. Paired with a watermelon mimosa at Cafe Gitane's Jane Hotel outpost is the perfect way to do it.

a place to drink Sprits in a stylish interior.

A very nice little second-hand bookstore, including a shelve with international books in French, English, and Spanish too. Always nice people to meet and a great selection of art and cook books, for affordable prices.

Best pizza in NY. Be prepared to wait. Check to see if they are shut down by the health department or tax collectors before going. Get the square pie with pepperoni and hot peppers.

These giant spectral cylinders are great at different times of the day but my favourite time is around dusk when the buildings in the city start to light up. The Gherkin and the new Shard building are framed in the lowest ring then the shifting colours of the sky are almost split in the following ellipses.
