Copenhagen / Cafe

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!

Paris / Event

Le dernier étage d'un parking transformé en jardins suspendu: lieu insolite, cadre très agréable aéré et lumineux, concerts, stands de bouffe, bars, petits endroits où se caler.

London / Art Centre

I try to come every Sunday to wander around this hidden conservatory in my favorite Brutalist estate.

Dubai / Place

Jumeirah Mosque is the largest mosque in Dubai, (accomidating upto 1200 worshippers), and is one of the only mosques open to non-muslims.

Albany / Art

A really fabulous art gallery located within Sage College campus. A nice airy, huge space, thoughtful exhibitions featuring a diverse group of contemporary artists. The openings are fun and usually free. Keep an eye out for their pop-up Biergarten events in the spring and fall.

London / Architecture

There's room for anyone who appreciates architecture, ideas and craftsmanship in these four interlocking houses.

New York / Shop

Erie Basin is a really wonderful little shop full of old, creepy and beautiful things, such as Victorian mourning jewelry (some with hair in it), Freemason masks from the 1900's, tiny children's rings from the 1700's, and all kinds of other treasures. It is really as much a museum as it is a store, and all of the items have a haunting and unique aura.

London / Shop

I spend many hours in the bookshops along this stretch, namely Henry Pordes for second hand books and new discounted titles (pile on left of photo), as well as Koenig Books for new art books with lots of great discounts in the basement. (photo right). In 2001 the rents for much of this strip were increased to align them closer to market value but thanks to public support they were reduced again. Unfortunately some bookshops still closed down; Koenig replaced the beloved Zwemmers - a real institution - but thankfully still provide great books, although others are no longer bookshops at all.

Ottawa / Shop

This vintage clothing store ain’t just some new-aged, marked up warehouse for ironic t-shirts and howling wolf hoodies. Brimming to the teats with ghostly relics, Ragtime has come to my rescue on multiple occasions; whether it’s a tailcoat for a bougie gala, Genghis Khan gear for a time-travel party, a Kamikaze pilot for Halloween or knickerbockers for my groomsmen.

Krakow / Park

One of my favourite places about 20 kilometers from Krakow – found intuitively. There is a golden lane (autumn time) that leads to a magnificent, differential forest. I suggest you get lost in the middle of it and just go. These are the exact coordinates 49*55'48"N 19*52'10.15"E to 49*55'19"N 19*52'10.15"E

Nagoya / Restaurant

Daijin is an old diner. More than 100 years since this restaurant was founded. As soon as it open at 4pm, retired old people occupy the seats. They leave just after one or two bottles of Ochoshi, they never stay long. The booze served is only beer and hot sake with a good smell of cask that is specially made to order by sake maker Kamozuru from Hiroshima. Seafood is caught in the local sea. Fresh. After 6pm, salaried men take the places of the elderly. After 8.30pm, the owner’s wife start to press customers to go home and people obey her without complaining. 3 mins on foot from Fushimi metro station.

Amsterdam / Restaurant

A really lovely restaurant with terasse with lots of sun hidden in the west and close to Erasmus Park. It is a place where you will a lot of locals catching up. The food is always great and there is a super cosy and friendly atmosphere. The kind of place you actually want to keep a secret so don't tell anyone! ;)
