London / Museum

Contemporary art gallery always showcasing interesting artists. Area is great and building is top

Amsterdam / Cafe

Cosy place and simply the best coffee in town.

Valencia / Bar

Ubik is half cafeteria and half bookstore. It’s a very cozy place, perfect for gathering around with friends, having an artisan beer or read one of the books from it’s shelves. Ubik is a multicultural point where gastronomy, literature, expositions and sometimes live music get thogether. It’s cheap and in it’s menu you’ll always find fresh products brought to you straight form the Ruzafa market.

Taipei / Bar

Cashbox is a chained karaoke business. Unlike the karaoke in Europe, usually located in pubs, for people who are brave enough to sing in front of other strangers. In Cashbox, we show up as a group of friends, we have our own room with screen, computer, and microphones. We order whatever songs we like from the computer, then the music videos show up on the screen and we sing along! It’s a great place for relieving pressure.

Porto / Shop

I discovered this warehouse / shop few months ago, but I was very annoyed at myself for the fact that I so often passed by and never noticed it. It is an endless world of leathers and accessories and tools for its work, along with a magnificent Art Nouveau façade that invites everyone to come and enjoy the amiability of the owners.

New York / Botanical Garden

A wonderful farm in the middle of NYC.

Paris / Zoo

Paris, unlike London, Brooklyn and err Chester, isn’t famed for its zoo. That’s because there isn’t anything quite as big here, but if its quality as opposed to size you’re looking for then the zoo in the Jardin des Plantes won’t leave you disappointed. There are about 1800 animals here, a third of which are endangered species, like the Amur leopard, pictured. The reptile house has big snakes and snap-happy crocodiles. There are even kangaroos and some other animals you wouldn’t have thought hardy enough to adapt to the cold chill of the Paris winters. The only drawback is the monkey house, which is a rather forlorn place with depressed-looking chimpanzees and gorillas gazing through shit-stained glass cages.

San Francisco / Restaurant

Terrible service. OK brunch. Nice venue.

London / Park

My favourite park in town. They have a small Japanese garden and areas marked off for joggers. Well organised space.

Barcelona / Bar

You have to pass by a crappy shop, take the stairs up to the garden!

Oslo / River

Is a couple of minutes walk from my apartment. It’s a little waterfall that is part of the Lysaker River, which defines the south western border of Oslo. I think it’s just as beautiful in the summer as winter. I love the fact that there are so many places in Oslo where you really feel close to nature. This place makes me feel good.

Vilnius / Cafe

Best cafe for vegans.

London / Designer

Peter Nencini came to London in 1992, to study at the Royal College of Art. Aside from a three-year interlude working in Brussels, he stayed put. A designer and educator, he has worked across print and television for clients such as the New York Times and the BBC.
