New York / Shop

Local fashion (men/unisex) with beautiful signature varsity jackets. Also exhibits interesting artists in the same space. They say they want to tell the story of style throughout American history and to emphasize the power of presentation and they do this extremely well.

Stratford / Cafe

A go to coffee spot for our family. They specialize in espresso based drinks and baked goods which are made on site. On Saturdays they offer two varieties of homemade doughnuts which are not to be missed. Make sure you get there early. They usually sell out pretty fast.

Vilnius / Gallery

The National Art Gallery is a division of the Lithuanian Art Museum, a multifunctional art and culture center presenting modern and contemporary art of the 20th – 21st centuries.

Brunswick / Place

This was taken on my 35mm olympus film camera and is of my old room in the house I spent most of my teen years in, which at this time had been passed onto my little sister years after I had moved out. The light through the windows was always so beautiful.

London / Shop

I spend many hours in the bookshops along this stretch, namely Henry Pordes for second hand books and new discounted titles (pile on left of photo), as well as Koenig Books for new art books with lots of great discounts in the basement. (photo right). In 2001 the rents for much of this strip were increased to align them closer to market value but thanks to public support they were reduced again. Unfortunately some bookshops still closed down; Koenig replaced the beloved Zwemmers - a real institution - but thankfully still provide great books, although others are no longer bookshops at all.

São Paulo / Restaurant

A great mix of izakaya restaurant and cocktail bar. Great cocktails and good food - lack of good vegetarian options though. Great place for architecture lovers.

Cape Town / Food Store

The Olive Branch Deli is a warm and friendly family run community grocer. They stock remarkable artisanal products and fresh seasonal produce. You can get lost in there.

Milan / Architecture

Vintage lovers! The Planetarium of Milan, Civico Planetario "Ulrico Hoepli", is a building located at the entrance of Giardini di Porta Venezia. It's a beautiful structure designed by Piero Portaluppi and commissioned by the Italian-Swiss publisher Ulrico Hoepli. Also the interior design is beautiful, there you can find a planetarium which projects and represents the image of the stars and their movements in the sky. The Planetarium also has a library which is a section of the Museum of Natural History, near by. They also organize educational activity concerning astronomy as talks, events and even concerts.

Paris / Bar

Cool bar-restaurant in the parc of Les Buttes Chaumont, quiet, peaceful with good cocktails

Antwerp / Restaurant

The interior of this place is so beautiful. The atmosphere is just perfect for a romantic evening. Upstairs there's a nice bar as well.

Newcastle / Beach

Tynemouth is 20 minutes from the city on the metro. It also has a great antique and farmer’s market at the weekend in the metro station. But the main draw of Tynemouth is the first of a beautiful stretch of sandy beaches which are never crowded. It reminds me of Australia. All the dogs look so shiny eyed and happy. How did they keep this place such a secret?

Brussels / Restaurant

Natural wines and small plates to share. Wine shop next door (Jane).
