A non-collecting arts institution that fosters experimentation and dialogue through exhibitions, public programs, and artist residencies.

Its quite a trip out there but so very worth it if you wanna have the very special beach-experience! You can go there by car and then take the ferry either to Pines or Cherry Grove (I would prefer Pines!) or you do all by public transportation - there a "getaway tickes" for 36Dollars and the transfer works really smooth - may even be faster than by car!

Books are Magic is a great local spot for bookworms. The staff is warm and friendly with regular events happening monthly. 

This is my favorite bar in the city: original cocktails, an unpretentious crowd and live jazz.

Great shop for creative people seeking inspiration. Small indie arty book shop selling used and rare books & records. Sometimes there's art exhibitions in the back.
