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

One or two screenings a day, a few days a week; less is more at Close Up. The library is a great resource too, for work or pleasure.

Words cannot describe how much I love biking in the city.

Edificio residencial del arquitecto Sainz de Oiza racionalista y moderno con el portal al más puro estilo italiano. He vivido en el y es el claro ejemplo de arquitectura bien hecha dejo la fachada sin que la veáis para que os paséis y disfrutéis del orden 

Le Barn crosses the bucolic charms of a French country home and the design chops of the ever-growing hip boutique hotel scene in Paris, providing a chic and relaxing base for Parisians and visitors, less than an hour out of the city ! So cool.

As a dog owner, naturalist, and freelance illustrator, escaping my home office and exploring beautiful (and dog-friendly) hiking trails is high on my list. I’m lucky to live in an area surrounded by incredible, diverse landscapes that I can get to in under 20 minutes. One of my favorites is the Serpentine Prairie Trail in the Redwood Regional Park. I love going an hour or two before sunset when the light is golden and the prairie practically glows. In April, I visited at this golden hour and was delighted to see an explosion of California poppies. The view here is spectacular--in one direction, I can see the tops of the coastal redwoods, mixed evergreen forest, chaparral, and grassland. In the other direction, where the sun is setting, is the bustling city of Oakland down below, but all I can hear is the wind through the grass and the croaking of ravens.

Mexican restaurant next to the stadium, the décor is made for laziness. They have a log fire which is worth remembering on a misty Sunday, we go here to eat fine Mexican food, take a table on the balcony, wrap ourselves in blankets on a cold day and slowly slide under the table, strangely never been here when it’s hot outside.

Famous smoked meat sandwich

My all-time favourite place. Whitewashed ex-smokehouse where Fergus Henderson pioneered the resurgent interest in offal dishes. The restaurant is brilliantly unfussy, retaining lots of the smokehouse’s original features, and the food very British, making St. JOHN something of a London institution. The restaurant has a winery and bakery.

One of the best places in NYC.

Located less than one mile from my home in downtown, this is the best cafe in the area. It is nestled in a corridor between two buildings on a brick path with beautiful outside seating — quite the hideaway. They have the best prosciutto sandwich and the coffee is delicious.
