Madrid / kiosk

Nice little Kiosk with a good selection of independent magazines.

New York / Place

Its an image imprinted in everybody's mind: the background for hundreds of movies, ads and commercials. Actually standing on a saturday-night at Time Square, hearing dozens of different languages of tourists around you, and being fully emerged with the sounds and light, slightly frantic and crazy… You are in NY.

Munich / Museum

Just by walking through the column range you can sense what power means. A feeling that increases once you step in : everything is constructed so solid and out of proportions. But if you go on the back side of the building, this general impression will be disturbed. Looking up, you will notice that the stone columns are reinforced by bamboos fixed by Chinese vases. The hole facade looks like it is doing some exercise...It’s looks so funny. (actually, whilst invited for an exhibition Ai Wei Wei did judge that the building seems to fall apart and that it needs a bit of reinforcement...) I love it.

Athens / Place

Anafiotika is a small neighborhood located on the northeastern side of the Acropolis hill in Athens, Greece. It is known for its picturesque white-washed houses, narrow alleys, and stunning views of the city. The neighborhood of Anafiotika was established in the mid-19th century by settlers from the island of Anafi, who came to Athens to work on the construction of King Otto's palace. These settlers built their homes using the traditional Cycladic architecture of their homeland, with flat roofs, whitewashed walls, and blue doors and windows. Today, Anafiotika is a popular destination for tourists and locals alike, who come to stroll through its narrow streets, admire its charming houses, and enjoy its stunning views of the city and the Acropolis. Visitors can also explore the neighborhood's small churches and chapels, which are decorated with beautiful frescoes and icons. Despite its popularity, Anafiotika remains a quiet and peaceful oasis in the heart of Athens, with a relaxed and laid-back atmosphere that contrasts with the bustling city below. It is a must-see destination for anyone interested in the history and culture of Athens, as well as for those seeking a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Sydney / Bakery

Great baked goods, salads and THE BEST hot chocolate, made with real chocolate bits melted down into liquid gold

New York / Bar

Has no sign outside, so you might miss it, but if you do happen to find it, you will feel like you have walked into the 1920's. Its very chic, with Black and white marble decor, candle light and ambience to go with a great list of cocktails and whiskeys etc.

Barcelona / Club

It has several rooms with different ambients.

Antwerp / Shop

A beautiful concept store with new and vintage items. You can also have lunch here and a nice cup of coffee.

Amsterdam / Gallery

Lost & Found is a monthly artist salon held in one of the medieval towers of the Waag on the Nieuwmarkt. In the room where Rembrandt's 'The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp' once took place have since 1997 over 80 sessions of stray images and sound been organized. Artists show material which doesn't fit comfortably into regular gallery contexts; work which demands more concentration than the usual walk-by. Check the Lost & Found website for dates & times.

Stockholm / Art
