Paris / Shop

Lovely space in the 10th arrondissement, near place de la République. With a fine selection of home decoration and useful things.

New York / Shop

ANTHOM’s gallery-like store on Mercer Street is all about presentation, and their selection of pieces from designers like Lady Artigas, Mari Giudicelli, Yune Ho, Marni, and Suzanne Rae is displayed with an eye for design.

New York / Park

This park holds a special place in my heart because it has been like a backyard for me over the years. It is also named after the Secretary of State who negotiated the purchase of Alaska. There is even a Togo sculpture that reminds me of home. The bench strip doubles as a downtown runway.

Perpignan / Food Store

Food, drinks, bakery... here you can find everything you need to live a local special moment !

St. Gallen / Club

The Palace is a beautiful concert location in a former cinema. It still has the old charming red velvet seats and probably the best programme far and wide, reaching from younger artists like the Wild Beasts or Zomby to legends like Sage Francis or Lee Scratch Perry.

Milan / Museum

An icon of 1930s art deco in the heart of Milan. Villa Necchi was built by Pietro Portaluppi for the Necchi Campiglio family, which belonged to the Lombard industrial bourgeoisie.

Berlin / Restaurant

For under 6 euros you can get the best burgers of the city. This small place is always full and anytime is good to eat their hamburgers.

Barcelona / Restaurant

Best vegan food

Paris / Bakery

Incredible syrian pastries in the heart of the Marais.

Durham / Sanctuary

Piedmont Farm is a 20-25 minute drive outside Durham. Well worth the short trip for anyone wanting to know more about living a plant-based or vegan lifestyle. Check their monthly events calendar to meet the animals on the farm and hear the stories of how they got there. During these events, you can purchase a great meal from one of the local guest vegan food trucks.

New York / Attraction

A gorgeous place to wander and explore, especially during cherry blossom season when the colonnade of soft pink cherry trees are in full bloom on the esplanade. I’m also a big fan of the tropical and desert gardens.

Leipzig / Shop

Eisenhauer is a lovely shop where you find everything you could possibly need for your desk/office, gifts for your loved ones or just beautiful things for yourself.

New York / Visual Artist

Bosco Sodi is known for his richly textured, vividly colored large-scale paintings. Sodi has discovered an emotive power within the essential crudeness of the materials that he uses to execute his paintings. Focusing on material exploration, the creative gesture, and the spiritual connection between the artist and his work, Sodi seeks to transcend conceptual barriers. Sodi leaves many of his paintings untitled, with the intention of removing any predisposition or connection beyond the work’s immediate existence. The work itself becomes a memory and a relic symbolic of the artist’s conversation with the raw material that brought the painting into creation. Sodi’s influences range from l’art informel, looking to artists such as Antoni Tàpies and Jean Dubuffet, to master colorists such as Willem de Kooning, Mark Rothko, and the bright hues of his native heritage.

New York / Creative Director

I moved to downtown Manhattan in 2002 and now live in Brooklyn's Clinton Hill neighborhood. I know most of my friends through my work designing art books and art-directing fashion magazines. Now that I have a wife and daughter, the most fun parts of my week take place during the day instead of at night.
