Rochester / Bar

Good Luck is a restaurant/bar offering cuisine made from seasonal, local ingredients, and craft cocktails in an industrial loft space with an open kitchen. For me it is my first choice for casual elegance in Rochester. One of the three owners, Chuck Cerankosky is a good friend and a fellow industrial designer who trained in the program which I now run at the Rochester Institute of Technology.

London / Cinema

The UK's only cinema dedicated to documentaries. Really interesting programme of screenings, events and talks.

London / Pub

Great beer and whisky selection, a friendly crowd, and top quality music programming upstairs, you can't go wrong with The Lexington

Perth / Art Centre

A contemporary art space made from an old railway goods holding shed, this spot in a central meeting place for artists and art lovers in Perth with cool exhibitions ( including one we did there ;) and a attached cafe with yummy coffee & treats set in an urban garden

Milan / Gallery

Modern design space and gallery, home of Capsule magazine. Store and coffee shop next door.

Antwerp / Creative Space

De Studio is the creative headquarters of Antwerp, where people can be spectator and artist at the same time. You can come here for dance, theater and interesting parties.

New York / Beach

This is a great day-trip in the summer and early fall. The dunes make the beach feel secluded and the empty houses at the old army-base makes you feel like you’re in the middle of nowhere. Once we bathed there in late September during a combined picnic and photo shoot. It’s also a good little bike ride from the subway in Far Rockaway.

Miami / Beach

Not the crowded hot, sweaty beach of mid-day. The best time to go is when the sun is low in the sky. A specific kind of blue light is created and on calm days you can hardly tell the difference between the water, air and land.

New York / Beach

Its quite a trip out there but so very worth it if you wanna have the very special beach-experience! You can go there by car and then take the ferry either to Pines or Cherry Grove (I would prefer Pines!) or you do all by public transportation - there a "getaway tickes" for 36Dollars and the transfer works really smooth - may even be faster than by car!

Barcelona / Cinema

Old cinema, Original Version

New York / Place

Mcgolrick Park at midnight in the snow. Any early morning with all the bums and drunks passed out on Nassau Avenue. NYC still looks best between 3am and 6am, just before the light comes in to shine on all its flaws.

New York / Bar

I had been living in Brooklyn Heights for some time and Long Island Restaurant has been closed for as long as I could remember. Then one day, the sign was lit up and not long after the new owners had resurrected the spot with the promise to the previous owners the name and sign never changes. Order "A Martini" from the menu. It's divine. As are the french fries. They're double fried.
