Brussels / Hotel

Paris / Place

Old building of funeral parlour that became in 2008 the 104, a place dedicated to creation. Artists workshops, concerts, exhibitions, theater, bars, restaurants, bookshop and also Emmaüs…

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!).

Oakland / Shop

Surplus of everything - if you're looking for new speakers, scrounging for art supplies/materials, or building a house they have what you didn't realize you were looking for.

Barcelona / Restaurant

Traditional seafood tapas

Cologne / Place

Tagebau Garzweiler is an areal in the south-east of Cologne where lignite mining is taking place. Finding yourself on one of the viewing platforms you will have a stunning view over the open-cast mine. The mine is still expanding but in some older parts it is possible to wander through this wide and surreal landscape.

Brussels / Restaurant

Natural wines and small plates to share. Wine shop next door (Jane).

Stuttgart / Bar

Not my casual pick for a cocktail night but it's definitely worth going. The drinks are really good and the location is quiet nice since it's inside an old bank vault.

Tokyo / Restaurant

There are many long-established good Japanese buckwheat noodle restaurants in Kanda. "Kanda Yabusoba" was founded in 1880. Soba is Japanese brown noodle made from buckwheat flour. Generally, it is eaten cold after being dipped in a soy-flavored sauce. Kanda is also famous as a city for secondhand bookstores. You should take a walk to look for the books you like after eating Soba.

Gijón / Restaurant

Slow healthy food and drinks
