I adore this surreal place, empty landscape with artificial sand dunes.

a hub for all things cool. the best place in TLV

A good place to drown your Berliner winter-melancholy. The bartenders are top notch and the interior is warm but stylish, with the inevitable retro vibe. Open from 6 till late. There´s also a legendary (and kinda expensive) restaurant next door, which provides the bar with some excellent snacks. Works for dates and for friends, but if you´re planning for a bigger group it might be wise to reserve.

A true Puerto Rican culinary experience that feels super local. The restaurant is setup to feel like a home and the food is as authentic as you can get. Service is also the best. Servers make you feel like you've known them forever. Appetizers and dessert are also a must.

Aside from the excellent cultural facility's the Barbican Centre has to offer, ranging from theatre, art, music and dance. The space outside the Centre holds personal value in its ability to evoke nostalgia of the Emerald City, in the slightly disturbing film 'Return to Oz'. I enjoy residing by the fountains, where I draw, read books and feed ducks.

Great cocktails. Horrible crowd.

Bless. I had an internship here in 2013, and had the most wonderful experience. My favourite time of the day is when we have lunch on the little bench outside of the shop and passerby will shout out bon appetit. :) I love the products from bless. Absolutely original and uncool :)

Inspired by Dave Eggers’ projects in the USA such as the Pirate Store in San Francisco and Superhero store in Brooklyn, The Monster Supplies Store in Hoxton is home to the Ministry of Stories: A volunteer run organization, founded by Nick Hornby, to help young people with creative writing of all kinds through workshops and free mentoring sessions. The store is the “Purveyor of quality goods for monsters of every kind” with fascinating bottles and tins containing everything from eyeballs to Zadie Smith’s short story Mortal Terror.

The Arm is a letterpress print shop in Brooklyn, New York focused on printing with hand set wood type, metal type and hand carved blocks.

Fish, fish, fish. The crab is amazing. You get a hammer and hammer your way through delicious fish meat. The famous fish restaurant 'Ramiro' is a couple hundred meters down the street. It has lines for hours, not worth it! Walk up to this one with no line, half of the price and frankly better food as they don't need to rush.

A book shop with so many books that you can search for nothing but find anything. The owner is a member of the 70's french graphic design group Bazooka.

I go to the flea market in St Ouen to look for old cameras and expired film. But it’s also a great place to see all the different walks of life from Paris’ extreme social scene. At the top of the ladder you’ve got the aristo-bourgeois crowd acquiring Louis XV furniture at the indoor antiques markets; the thirty-something bobo set paying way over the odds for mid-century designer chairs and formica tables; the banlieusards from the Neuf Trois getting kitted out with the latest sneakers and hoodies along the rue des Rosières; then at the very bottom you’ve got people trying to scratch a living selling second hand food at the Carré des biffes at Porte Montmartre. It’s an eye opener for sure.
