Oakland / Art

Non-traditional, beautiful space with thoughful work.

New York / Bar

Perfect cocktails, chicken fat rice, and a REAL fireplace. One of the coziest spots in Greenpoint, particularly in the winter. Its "off the beaten path" location keeps out the bridge and tunnel goons, so you're likely to meet actual locals. Good for dates, solo thinking, or a small group.

Athens / Monument

The Acropolis of Athens is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most famous landmarks in Greece. It is a rocky hilltop that overlooks the city of Athens and contains several ancient architectural wonders, including the Parthenon, the Propylaea, the Erechtheion, and the Temple of Athena Nike. The Acropolis of Athens has been inhabited since prehistoric times and has been used as a site for religious worship and civic ceremonies for thousands of years. It reached the height of its glory during the 5th century BCE, when the Athenians built many of the structures that still stand today. These structures were built using the finest materials and decorated with intricate sculptures and reliefs that depicted the gods, heroes, and events of ancient Greek mythology. The Parthenon, the most famous of the Acropolis' structures, was built between 447 and 438 BCE as a temple to the goddess Athena. It is considered one of the greatest achievements of ancient Greek architecture, with its perfectly proportioned columns, elaborate sculptures, and stunning friezes. Today, the Acropolis of Athens is a major tourist destination and a symbol of the cultural and historical richness of Greece. Visitors can explore the ruins of the ancient structures, admire the stunning views of the city from the hilltop, and learn about the fascinating history of this iconic site.

The best live jazz band I ever heard was at a packed out night in Brilliant Corners. I was happy to be squashed.

Los Angeles / Cafe

Recommended by hipsters and did not disappoint. Excellent coffee and even better music.

Palermo / Restaurant

In the area of Ballarò market. Very good food and cheep price for one of the last old trattorias in Palermo.

Tokyo / Bar

Shinjuku-Kabukicho is one of the famous entertainment spots in Tokyo. There are many theatres, bars, hostess bars, and adult entertainment business. People seek pleasure, shout, and walk drunkenly at night, even though they are shy and busy with work during the daytime. Mysterious neon lights make people desire more what they want to do. You feel people’s fundamental energy there at night.

Berlin / Cafe

Just until recently this place used to be one big old Aphoteke (Pharmacy). They have kept the Apotheke's dark wood Art Deco charm to use in benefit of great coffee and fantastic brunch (try the french toast and you'll see I'm not lying).

Milan / Shop

Spazio Rossana Orlandi, a store and gallery dedicated to avantgarde design, located in a former tie factory.

London / Photographer

Daniel originally from Portsmouth moved to London just over 3 years ago. He works in a variety of mediums. His recent work consist of setting up structures for drawing that encourage chance to determine the form, this excludes him from making any aesthetic decision. By using this conceptual logic he creates a system in which a process is started, continued for an undetermined amount of time, then finally stopped by the rule that birthed it. This thinking is also expressed in his photography which depict the unintentionally created forms of various other processes.
