New York / Cafe

“We wanted to create a place where people felt at home, somewhere that people came back to often and the quality of the food shone.” – Rose Carrarini. Rose Bakery was created by Rose Carrarini and her husband Jean Charles. Great place to sit and chat with a friend, definitely try their scone with butter + jam and stroll around Dover Street Market afterwards.

Tokyo / Restaurant

TORAYA is known for one of the best Japanese traditional sweets which are made from the organic beans from Hokkaido. You can get Toraya's famous Yokan sweets with well-designed packaging and wrapping. One of my favorite place in Ginza area.

Changsha / Shop

A villa originally located at the foot of beautiful Yuelu Mountain, now has almost become the most chic, sprawling showcase of high-end clothing, and fashion-forward displays in Changsha, Hunan. Plus a gourmet cafe. This unique place called "之间", which means in between.

His work, including sculpture, photography and video, is often characterized by a kind of pseudo-science or homespun natural phenomena. "When one settles down to a new home, they immediately set out to discover those things which captivate and hold meaning for them. I moved to Brooklyn, New York in 1999 and twelve years later, I'm still writing my own personal travel guide of the city's unlimited attractions and temptations."
