Berlin / Bar

My favourite bar of the many around kreuzkölln is Bellman. After its sudden closure and reopening it underwent some changes and is boycotted by some of its former patronage, but for the less principled like myself it’s still a good place to go and they do pull the best Jever in Berlin.

Miami / Park

If you're an artist interested in texture and detail this place is a goldmine. My favorite thing about Miami might very well be all of the plants that grow here and Fairchild showcases them in the best possible way.

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.

Fårö / Bar

A gorgeous, summery café, bar and restaurant located in an old ruin at Fårö, Gotland. During daytime, you can chill in one of their hammocks, eating local ice cream, and during evenings, order a jug of sangria, look out over the meadows where cheep run wild and enjoy the live music. Every now and then, they also do BBQs and paella evenings – delicious! If you're around for one of those events, don't miss out on it!

Lisbon / Shop

We found this beautiful store by accident while wandering around hilly Lisbon in the sunshine. A beautiful menagerie of vintage finds, curated designers, accessories and trinkets. Housed in a high-ceilinged, big windowed architectural treat. My perfect home (shop wise). I left with a Parisian summer dress in peacock tones, and a big smile. The staff were helpful and lovely, and coincidentally I had something in common with the gorgeous owner. We shared stories of graphic design and Leeds Art College—it really is a small world.

London / Cemetery

My No.1 favourite graveyard in London. Calming, overgrown and a little bit spooky :)

Rochester / Museum

Both the actual former house of George Eastman with lovely gardens and an impressive interior, as well as a museum. In addition to their exhibitions & screenings, the museum has an impressive archive, (catalog online), and with a few weeks planning, the archivist will pull specific prints for you to stop in and see!

New York / Restaurant

The best, coziest place for a burger!

Paris / Sport Centre

A beautiful art-deco billard venue. One of the very rare place to find a snooker table in Paris.

Milan / Cafe

Modern coffee shop, offering artisan coffee and pastries.

New York / Museum

The Tenement Museum celebrates the enduring stories that define and strengthen what it means to be American. We share stories of the immigrant and migrant experience through guided tours of our two tenement buildings on Orchard Street and the surrounding neighborhood on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. Visitors can take building tours of the recreated homes of our former residents between the 1860s and the 1980s as well as walking tours of the neighborhood they lived in.

Madrid / Museum

Reina Sofia museum is always a good idea. And it's never enough of Picasso's Guernica as well as the other modern art gems. Save some hours for visiting and then look round the corner and have some wine at NuBel.
