Los Angeles / Area

I had a studio in this neighborhood for 3 years. Just take your camera and spend a couple hours walking around admiring the colors and people and odd shops.

New York / Shop

A very interesting selection of books.

New York / Beach

Where New Yorkers escape when the heat wave hits the city. Easy to access with subway and buss but less crowded than Rockaway.

Vancouver / Shop

Locally designed stationary and text-based things! Regional Assembly of Text is a gift shop that also has its own letter writing club (free typewriter parties!) and a little cozy nook named 'lowercase gallery' which features a library of handmade art books and zines!

Athens / Club

A fresh spot to hang on the middle of a very shitty neighborhood Cool Rooftop, awesome sound system on the basement, local DJ LGBT community welcome —

Amsterdam / Work Space

Small co-working space in Amsterdam West for 8 creative freelancers. Check the website for possible availability.

Tokyo / Museum

Skip the museum itself if you want, as the garden of this place is the nicest part. Green and quiet, you will forget you are in the middle of Tokyo

Hong Kong / Shop

Shopping may not be the main agenda of coming to Hong Kong, so when I see a boutique with an unusual selection of independent designers (pretty rare by Hong Kong retail standards), it's probably something to write home about. Located in the fashion hub that is Causeway Bay, Liger is the fashion child of style icon Hilary Tsui and stylist Dorothy Hui. Stocking an edited curation of established avant garde labels like Rue de Mail, Karen Walker and Richard Nicoll to emerging talent like Fannie Schiavoni, Swash and Bitching and Junkfood. It's a mix of edgy directional with classic wearable pieces thats makes Liger a Hong-Kong-go-to-destination, so much so that it is opening a 2nd stand alone store at the aforementioned Woodhouse mall.

Paris / Bookstore

So much inspirations in this beautiful bookstore at Palais de Tokyo museum. Hours and hours to spend there before or after a visit at the exhibitions.

Los Angeles / Cinema

Home to an incredibly programmed slate of classic, cult, and indie films, this little spot on Fairfax is a cinema-buff's paradise. Parking is a bit miserable, so park for free at Canter's Deli. Put a Hot Pastrami on Rye with Matzo Ball Soup down your neck, then just walk a couple blocks to the theater. Trust me, you'll need to walk a bit after that meal anyway. I've seen a number of special events here, including a screening of Fantastic Planet with sound and dialogue entirely performed by a live experimental orchestra, which made my list of top movie-going experiences ever! There's also a patio out back for intermissions, post-film receptions, barbecues and occasional outdoor-screenings where you can crack open an ice cold PBR or Tecate! Check their website for movie listings www.cinefamily.org

Milan / Gallery

Modern design space and gallery, home of Capsule magazine. Store and coffee shop next door.

Berlin / Restaurant

The best cheeseburger in Berlin costs less than 5. Burgermeister is mandatory in town when you're craving for a basic and delicious to the bits chesseburger.
