My favorite place on Bedford Avenue, this bookstore has both new and used titles. If you're patient and look close enough, you can usually find a book that's worth more than they're asking. Not to mention their stellar selection of magazine titles. Good for design, art, photography, sociology, fiction, and everything in between.

Maceió / Bar

Botequim Paulista feels like the only place to go when you feel like meeting up with your friends or something like it. It's traditional boteco, with tables in the street, the two owners as waiters and very see-what-happens food - ovo de codorna, sliced calabrezza and peanuts.

Vilnius / Bar

It only makes sense to find some action near the train station and this place is really on the edge. It’s usually packed with pleasure seekers dancing to a wide variety of music and hosts events ranging from hip-hop to disco to balkan music and really anything you can dance to. Don’t forget to check-in with the giant statue of Tony Soprano outside.

Oslo / Area

Grünerløkka is a part of Oslo where you find lots of small cafes, restaurants and bars. This area is also a popular place for shopping. You find a lot of vintage and second hand shops here. Grünerløkka has a few parks which are perfect for barbequing with your friends during the summer.

Chicago / Bar

This bar is all about simplicity. Cheap but strong and drinks, interesting crowd, amazing vinyl only dj's playing dance songs you think you know but you really don't, and a great bouncy floor from all the people dancing to New Order late into the night. Nothing fancy and it's really dark. I go there way too much.

Okayama / Restaurant

Small restaurant not listed anywhere. I got there by pure chance. Best sushis, sashimis and tempura I had in my life. Freeeeeesh food. Gooooood saké. Welcoming staff. ... a bit expensive but quite an experience ! PS the entry door is on the left of the sign « la plagne » and Italian restaurant Duomo.

Vancouver / Shop

One of those comic shops that just have it right. Good selection, room at the back for exhibitions and talks, small selection of music for sale. I got hooked on “Big Questions” by Anders Nilsen, and he came in for a signing in the summer, I had no idea, just popped by and there he was. I’m holding onto the 90’s and this place has it.

Amsterdam / Place

The fence around De Nederlandsche Bank on the Frederiksplein is a true optical experience. While passing the building, a rhythmic, dynamic pattern appears and disappears in the trellis of the fence. The figures on the sides of the rails were designed in 1992 by artist Peter Struycken, a pioneer in the area of environmental art and generating computer-program based image, light and colour compositions.

Amsterdam / Music Venue

A great music venue with ping-pong tables used to be a squat.

Barcelona / Beauty Salon

Once a month I go to Jose's Hairdresser salon to cut my hair. Is an small place, simple and nice placed very near from my home, Jose cuts my hair exactly as I like it to do and the treatment is excellent: he is kind, but he doesn't speak too much, something rare in the field of hairdressers. With no doubt is one of my indispensable places of Barcelona.
