New York / Cinema

I love sneaking over here in the middle of the day to see a movie - they always have the best selection of films. I recently saw Pina in 3D and The Kid with a Bike here, and another time I saw Bela Fleck play the banjo after a screening of Throw Down Your Heart.

San Francisco / Library

By appointment only. Large archive of lettering, typography and calligraphy.

London / Museum

An obvious choice but no 'best of London' list is complete without the Barbican

Moscow / Gallery

The main museum of contemporary art in Moscow

Chicago / Place

I'm usually too busy to do this but when I can, getting out to the lakefront at night is truly one of the best things ever. There's something about the night sky, the water, wind and the city behind you that calms everything down.

Dubai / Area

Karama is one of the oldest areas of Dubai. It's not properly maintained and has a bit more attitude than the heavily polished, bling buildings which cover the rest of the city. A wander around this area, a stop for some Indian curry and cheap shopping is a good afternoon activity.

Albany / Bar

beautiful small craft beer bar with a cafe vibe. wonderful owners, thoughtful beer selection and interior.

Hamburg / Architecture

The Wohnkultur66 showroom is located in the historical slaughterhouse in Hamburg Schanzenviertel. It's a furniture store specialized in Scandinavian design. One of the few places in the world where you can find some ebautiful pieces of Ib Kofod-Larsen, one of my favorite design master

London / Cafe

The second coffee shop has to be Kaffeine. Having only recently come across this one, I was certainly impressed and they may even have the best coffee I've had, since a short stay in Portland, Oregon.

London / Area

Southbank has organically evolved into a place of cultural significance through the persistent creative use of skateboarders spanning over generations. Southbank is currently under threat of being destroyed and replaced by coffee shops and retail outlets. There has been an alternative skate spot preposed to be built under Hungerford Bridge, this at first glance seems like an appropriate solution. Unfortunately this undermines the grassroots movement that has been developed over the years. Skateboarders have utilised the unsuspecting angles of brutalist architecture in a way they were originally not intended, in doing so they have created a space that is special and unreplicable. You can help save this historic place by signing the petition.

Maceió / Place

Maceió been as hot as the world allows it to be - even if it doesn't look like in the picture beside - it's not the first choice to be when you are wondering where to go. What makes me love it, is the whole diversity. You can get anything you are/or not looking for. A nice place to get different material to work with.

New York / Park

Like Barbapapa’s house with a beautiful garden.
