Searching for a place to slow down and breathe in the bustling centre of Barcelona may be challenging, but Bar Cugat provides a solution: a timeless bar situated in Eixample, with an elegant yet low-key atmosphere. While originally stopping in for a quick coffee, we found ourselves returning an hour later for a wonderful dinner. The clean yet eclectic interior (with an Art Nouveau poster to boot) is a great place to dine, any day of the week. Recommendations: classic tapas + vermut.

San Francisco / Place

I love visiting Land's End early in the morning when the light is new and the city is waking up. There's a spectacular view of the bridge and the north bay. Makes me grateful to live in San Francisco.

New York / Restaurant

This place is very good. Korean inspired diner food. Get the Breakfast Burrito with Sausage, Honey Butter Pancakes, Chicken Katsu. The mushroom burger is very good too.

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.

Carrboro / Other

Over the objections of most people who live downtown or nearby, CVS is trying to build chain pharmacy it town. So people have gotten together and thrown seed bombs over the fence in a guerrilla gardening protest (spearheaded by Carrboro's robust and awesome anarchist community).

Lisbon / Cafe

It´s the kind of place you automatically feel like you take a break from the city for a coffee or a light meal. The trendy Chiado area is just around the corner.

São Paulo / Art

Excellent museums and cultural institutes are located in the most famous avenue of São Paulo: MASP, IMS (Instituto Moreira Salles), Itaú Cultural, SESC Paulista, Japan House, Centro Cultural FIESP and Casa das Rosas https://masp.org.br/ https://ims.com.br/unidade/sao-paulo/ http://www.itaucultural.org.br/ https://www.sescsp.org.br/unidades/ 9_AVENIDA+PAULISTA/#/ uaba=programacao#/fdata=id%3D9 https://www.japanhouse.jp/saopaulo/ http://centroculturalfiesp.com.br/ http://www.casadasrosas.org.br/

Warner Robins / Market

This place is wonderful. It's like a magic place where you can find ugly sweaters, neat furniture, old cameras, very used records, and more. It is a little intimidating from the outside though.

Frankfurt / Bar

A kind of Black. You have a great view from inside to outside through the large window.

Stockholm / Shop

One of Stockholms most popular tattoo parlors, Swahili Bob´s keep dishing out those rockabilly style tatoos for the ever-craving recidents of Södermalm.

Los Angeles / Shop

Need some socks? Need some pants? Bacon wrapped hot dogs? Remote control helicopter? A rabbit? Look no further than the Fashion District, L.A.'s version of a Turkish Bazaar. I keep my studio here, too.

Amsterdam / River

The Amstel river is the main river of Amsterdam. Around 1200 they build a dam in the river and that was the birth of Amsterdam (or Amstelredamme as it was called back then). This dam is now situated under the Dam square, the central square of the city. If you bike from the old city center to the south along the banks of the Amstel, as I do every day on my way to my studio, the city opens up and gives way to a lot of space. If you follow the river it will take you out of town more quickly then you'd expect since it is surrounded by a green corridor that get's larger and greener as you exit the city. In less then half an hour bike trip from the old city you can find yourself in juicy green pastures between grazing cows and sheep. Only the airplanes heading in and out of Schiphol Airport will remind you that the city is near.
