Our Hero has been open for something like 40 years. It is only open for lunch. The owner Al slices all the meat and cheese to order, then passes the sub along to whoever else is working that day for basic sub toppings. You can get a good sized sub for $5, cash only. I go here enough to where they know my order, I know the price and no one has to say a word. I can be slow if the high school across the street let out recently or someone comes in with an order for coworkers.

Brussels / Cafe

Nice place to enjoy a Coffee latte or a brownie and start discovering the neighbourhood !

New York / Restaurant

I go here mostly because of the vibe, it”s a French bistro meets a plant shop and the sister restaurant to Tartine in the West Village. The Shakchuka and the fennel salad is delicious, so is the onion soup. Cute Rooftop during the summer.

Paris / Beauty Salon

If you like Kobido massages : try Faucheur Paris. Othilie, Margaux and their mom, Aline, have a gift !

Holbox / Beach

Isla Holbox in Quintana Roo, Mexico, is the paradise itself. I've never seen anything like it. Nothing. Probably the best beach in the world.

London / Transport

Aside from the fact of the underground being the oldest running railway system in the world, I find the underground just an incredibly strange place. Sometimes it’s like I’ve entered an organised maze and just walk without even thinking. The photo is taken of the floor from one of the trains, it’s normally what you tend you look at when you’re on the train.

Austin / Restaurant

One of the best places in Austin for some uncomplicated Tex-Mex nestled in the old growth heart of Austin's charming Hyde Park neighborhood. Great chicken soup, enchiladas, or Mexican Martinis and perfect atmosphere. Ideal for porch sitting and people watching. Cash only, but there's an ATM on premises.

Melbourne / Restaurant

Communal benches & an open kitchen create a buzzy setting for Asian-inspired cuisine.

Mannheim / Restaurant

Mannheim has a lot to offer and you will notice that culinary diversity is very important here. The restaurant is centrally located in the squares. The interior is modern in design, with a great deal of attention to detail and a relaxed atmosphere. I love the extraordinary culinary concept: all dishes are vegetarian or vegan. The concept of the shop is based on the Californian burritos. This means that you can have a quick lunch in the Burrito Baby without losing too much time. Nevertheless, the Burrito baby is not a fast-food restaurant.

Bergen / Bar

Comfortable bar where when the atmosphere is right can turn into a real party place. As all other bars and clubs in Bergen it shuts at 2.30 in the morning - too early I think.

San Francisco / Shop

Shopping area in Japantown connected by an outdoor plaza with a Japanese Pagoda. The malls feature some good food spots and as well as Kinokuniya Bookstore.

London / Area

It is one of the most important business centres in London. Crowded of suits at daytime, perfectly deserted at night. It is so striking relaxing to walk in there enjoying the silence and the lights! It makes you feel pleasantly far from reality.

Brunswick / Photographer

Lilli Waters was born in 1983 in Armidale, NSW. Fascinated with a world of fantasy rich with ethereal themes, Water's work is a mix of both digital and analogue photography using heavy layering processes to create fantastical and somewhat unsettling moods. In her portraits she exposes an enigmatic sense of her past and surrounding environment, mixing brutal realism and chaotic settings which resists the serene and awkward beauty of her subjects. Waters has held several solo exhibitions, including the World Trade Centre in Melbourne of survivors from the Black Saturday bush fires, also a selection of works for a group exhibition at Brick Lane gallery in London towards the end of this year. Some of her career highlights include being a Finalist in the Head On Portrait Prize 2013, Highly Commended in the Moran Prize in 2012 and Qantas Spirit of Youth Awards in 2012 & 2013. Waters dedicated her 'She Raw' photographic project to preventing violence against women, in launching the She Raw book she raised over $1000 for the White Ribbon Foundation in 2012. Waters is currently living and working in Brunswick, Melbourne.
