Favourite place for a cappucino and a croissant. The best pastry in the whole city all year. In the summer the ice cream is just... nothing better!

The Kerameikos Archaeological Museum is a museum located in Athens, Greece, that houses archaeological artifacts from the ancient Athenian cemetery of Kerameikos. The cemetery was in use from the 8th century BCE until Roman times and was the final resting place for many important figures of ancient Athens. The museum contains a collection of funerary monuments, statues, reliefs, and other artifacts discovered during excavations of the Kerameikos cemetery. One of the most notable exhibits is the Stele of Hegeso, a 4th-century BCE marble relief that depicts a young woman examining her jewelry. The museum also contains a large collection of grave stelae, which were used to mark graves and often contained depictions of the deceased and their families. In addition to the permanent exhibits, the museum also hosts temporary exhibitions that showcase artifacts from other archaeological sites in Greece. The museum is located near the ancient Agora and the Acropolis, making it a popular destination for tourists interested in ancient Greek history and culture. Overall, the Kerameikos Archaeological Museum is an important cultural institution that preserves and displays artifacts from the ancient Athenian cemetery of Kerameikos, providing insight into the funerary customs and beliefs of the ancient Greeks.

Taco Chulo is a great Mexican restaurant that has a good selection of tacos and burritos and of course has interesting blends of margaritas. I probably eat here at least once every other week.

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.

The Lit & Phil is a library pretty much unmodernised since it was first built in 1825. It has a wonderful reading room and a tunnel between it and the equally stunning Mining Institute next door. Many great speakers and thinkers have past through these doors including amongst many others John Betjeman & Oscar Wilde. Maybe some of that greatness will rub off on me if I spend enough time amongst the dusty books....

Here's what the world used to look like.

Mission Street art gallery displaying beautiful losers. Ryan Mcginley, Barry McGee...

A great place to wander get lost and and escape the city.

Turkish food meets Heavy Metal. Lee Tiernan's (ex St John Bread & Wine Head Chef) experimental take on Turkish cuisine. Flatbreads, offal, squid ink, cod roe & foie gras doughnuts. Expect the unexpected.

Bowling, beer, and pool - what more could a girl ask for? I'd like to start a bowling league here in the fall. Some possible league names include The Crystal Bowls, Disembowled, and Ebowlo Virus. I'm open to suggestions.

Absolute favourite cafe, excellent coffee and food!

This is a great spot for groceries as well as frozen prepared foods and take out. All of the baked goods are made in house and they offer a number of lunch options through their bowl and smoothie bar. This place is great because they strive to be a zero waste one-stop shop that really cares about their impact on the environment. There’s a great selection of local products and produce as well including many bulk items including dry foods, cleaning and household supplies.
