The best

Buy your fresh pasta here. Cook it that night.

This is probably my favorite venue in the middle Georgia area. I have seen a ton of great bands play here, plus my band has played here a few times. Bonus points for having a small gallery upstairs.

Cluj-Napoca / Restaurant

I lived in Cluj-Napoca for 5 years as a student. Every time I go back, I have to eat at least once at Roata. Their Romanian dishes take me back to my childhood, reminding me especially of my grandma's cooking. Transylvanian food is a mix of Romanian, Hungarian and German recipes. Always a delight.

Kuta / Cafe

Cool place, good atmosphere, tasty healthy food and super delicious smoothies.

New York / Restaurant

Now in its tenth year, the Division Street restaurant has proven its staying power in a city of amazing eateries. Bacaro’s wine bar and small plates (“cichetti”) are modeled after the “bacaros” of Venice—workingmen’s pubs that serve snacks and small glasses of wine.

Taipei / Cafe

A nice community located in Songshan Dist with a lot of great cafes/restaurants. This place always surprise me when finding a good food or lovely shops. I visit here often cause my boyfriend lives here.

New York / Cafe

If you're far up in Greenpoint and need caffeine + snack, Bakeri is my spot (I say "bake-ery", others say "bach-ery"—I still vote the former). Known for their baked goods—both savory and sweet—it's the perfect spot for a coffee meeting, small breakfast, or a solo book read. There's one large communal table in the center, plus a few two-tops and decent counter space—one of the rare cafes with enough room that it's rarely packed (except saturday!).

Amsterdam / Restaurant

Hidden in the greenery near Westerpark, the perfect hideaway from street noise can be found if you know where to look: a little farm called "De Buurtboerderij". Surrounded by a bunch of sheep and a happily decorated garden, the restaurant inside serves one fixed menu a week for a low price. The farm serves as community center as well and is run by volunteers — and you when you eat there! — and there are plenty of sweet people and animals to hang out with.

Vilnius / Museum

The house-museum of the artist and collector Kazys Varnelis (1917–2010) is reminiscent of a residential house. Its small rooms rich in details of early Gothic architecture contain the exhibits of historical prints, maps and Western European sculptures, supplemented by sets of Renaissance and Baroque furniture and abstract paintings by Varnelis. Harmony based on contrast makes the entire exhibition extraordinary. Accumulated for fifty years and given to Lithuania, Kazys Varnelis’s collection is a significant contribution to the collections of cultural treasures of Lithuania.

Chicago / Lake

I am lucky enough to have one of the five Great Lakes of North America right in my backyard. How cool is that?

Following his graduation, he opened his studio at the « MAD Lab » (MAD Brussels Fashion & Design Platform) working there as a designer since 2015. Since the beginning of his professional career, Pierre-Emmanuel has been invited to exhibit annually in cities such as Copenhagen, Paris, and Milan. From conception to production, Pierre-Emmanuel imbues his designs with a sense of the surreal and a respect for craftsmanship. Each piece has a unique voice, and emotional power. Together, they speak to our more playful and curious nature, inviting us to live experiences unlimited by everyday expectations. His work is enigmatic, challenging what we consider to be evident in order to change habits and perceptions. His designs are indeed symbolic of an urge to break free from the mundane, to chase originality, while staying within the framework of the most noble materials.
