Favorite hangout and coffee

Under the city, the extraordinary Gesamtkunstwerk by Louis van Gasteren, Jan Sierhuis and others is located in Nieuwmarkt underground. This is one of the public artworks of the Seventies and early Eighties endangered due to station renovation on the Underground Eastline. At present there is a notice hanging at different spots on the wall: ‘‘This artwork has been temporally removed due to renovations”.

Mediterranean food in our cool and laid back cafe

Misty mornings on the river beat the rest... this pic was taken in February on the Walthamstow marshes.

For indpendent art spaces and young galleries you have to go to the area around the Boekhorststraat. For more details go here.

Candace Frazee and Steve Lubanski met at a weekly single’s discussion group called "Seminars for Singles" in Pasadena, California run by therapist, Liz Hargrove. They both had joined this and other dating services looking for each other. In 1993, Steve gave his girlfriend, Candace a white, plush bunny that held a heart with the banner, “I Love You This Much” because Candace called him her "Honey Bunny". Next, Candace gave Steve a white, porcelain bunny on Easter. At first, they gave each other bunny gifts on holidays, but, Steve not wanting to wait, started their tradition of giving bunny gifts to each other, every day. In 1998 they opened the world's largest living museum with bunny collectibles of every size, shape, and matter. This place is nuts!!!!

A nice park that's close to the city. If you go right to the end and walk down the stairs, there are a few extra places to explore.

The White Rose was a non-violent, intellectual resistance group in Nazi Germany which was led by five students (and one professor) in front of the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich. The ‘monument’ isn’t really a monument. The leaflets show up as tiles embedded in the pavement in front of the university, and commemorate the movement brilliantly. Poignant and moving.

Mint offers a great selection of Polaroid Camera & accessories, specializing in the SX-70 series! They provide latest full range of instant film with best-in-class, world-wide coverage at affordable prices. They also organize multiple Instant photography workshops and photographic exhibitions regularly. My first solo exhibition was also hosted by them.

Rooftop party with such a view. Should I add anything more?

Long standing late night cafe  

A decent coffee stop for urban cyclists and people feel connected to the community. The variety of house blend speciality coffee is as good as the the line-up of the fancy bikes at the doorstep:-)
