New York / Beach

It's sugar-coated shabbyness. I have been there in wintertime, all the rides and attractions were closed, but it´s still nice to have a walk on the beach or spot some funny looking storefronts and vintage-looking rollercosters. A perfect backdrop for photoshootings, a gem for friends of vintage typography. On 4th of july hot dog eating contests are held here (they actually do that!).

Vancouver / Park

The place to go for a refreshing morning walk. Here you can really see and feel the magic that occurs when the mountains, the city and the ocean meet. Close by is also the Museum of Vancouver which, among other things, holds some colorful displays of the local 1960s hippie movement.

London / Shop

Old townhouse style building set in front of juxtaposing high risers makes for an odd placement, but internally it's a quirky spectacle. One half is dedicated to the sale of antiques - anything from old door handles to hallways lined with hunting trophies. The other half is a relaxed bar and hidden gourmet dining area constructed of similar furnishings [all for sale too]. Even if you don't wish to spend £'s, a walk around the place is advised.

Ottawa / Bar

With age, I’ve been more reluctant to engage in the cyclical social gymnastics of a high-octane evening. Just give me a pint and a pinball machine and I’ll be a content little monk, cussing at gravity and the wiles of analog engineering. Aside from triggering rebellious teenage memories, the Orange Monkey pool hall is also situated in one of the rare industrial complexes in the city.

Reykjavik / Museum

When they have exhibitions here, its really nice to look around. They also have a very cute little cafe there. I went to see the art school have their final work on display of ceramics and graphics and it was so nice.

Hamburg / Cafe

Museumscafé im Jenisch Haus: take a walk along the Elbe river, reach the Jenisch Park, at the middle of the green meadow you will see a white dice, that's the Jenisch House, stop by for a coffe or a tea and a slice of cake. Perfect place for a break with a sunny day even better with a rainy day. Close by there is the Ernst Barlach House, museum of the expressionist sculptor Ernst Barlach.

Basel / Museum

Contemporary art exhibition in this concrete gem by Christ and Gantenbein.

Paris / Restaurant

French Cuisine near Place de la Victoire in Paris

New York / Theatre

I love this excellent independent arthouse theater in the Lower East side. Metrograph projects archive quality 35mm and independent films. Tastefully decorated, there is also a candy store, bookstore and restaurant.

Barcelona / Cafe

All Espai Joliu-lovers rejoice! Very recently a second location called Orval has opened, and it’s only 10 minutes away from its big sister. Just above Ciutadella park, just like its predecessor does. It has plenty of natural light that comes in through the large windows. Another added benefit with the new location is that it consists of two floors instead of just one as in Espai Joliu. Both cafes have their unique charm: Espai Joliu has that rugged, Berlin-inspired atmosphere, and Orval an added modern touch. The concept of plants and coffee remains consistent here, with a similar drink menu (with many options, and great specialty coffee) and beautiful plants for sale. You will also find an array of magazines and guidebooks. The staff deserves an added mention, such a friendly bunch!

Lyon / Attraction

Take a leisurely stroll and check out the cars from yesteryear. Near Lyon, and once a year, old car enthusiasts gather for a day to present their vintage cars. Picture of an old French RENAULT 12 TS from 1970.

Ghent / Bookstore

Best art book shop in town with a great selection! It is run by graphic designer Jurgen Maelfeyt and has a little gallery where there have interesting shows.
