Riga / Restaurant

Most amazing Kebab place of all times. The food is delicious, it is not expensive at all, portions are super big and the cucumber sauce is really awesome.

Copenhagen / Restaurant

Super easy, healthy and affordable lunch and dinner takeaway. As a tourist in Copenhagen it is a nightmare to find affordable food. The popular downtown areas are flooded with crap food tourist traps and it's hard to navigate through the bullshit. Smag means "taste" in Danish and their ryebread sandwich with salmon, green pea puree and peanuts is a treat.

Paris / Bar

Favorite bar/brasserie in Paris close to my apartment.

New York / Cinema

A documentary cinema where filmmakers and film lovers can come together in appreciation of nonfiction film. Housed in DCTV's beloved landmarked building in Chinatown, New York City, Firehouse features first run, curated, repertory, masterclasses, family programs, and more.

New York / Art

Bill Brand presents an animated movie to passengers on the B and Q subway trains coming into Manhattan from Brooklyn. The project was modeled after the zoetrope, a 19th-century optical toy, which animated images inside a revolving cylinder, so that they appeared to move when viewed through narrow slits. Brand mounted 228 hand-painted panels in self-contained, illuminated units along the three-hundred-foot platform. Hop on a Manhattan-bound B or Q train at the Dekalb Avenue stop (corner of Dekalb Avenue and Flatbush Avenue Extension). Look out any window on the right side of the train.

Los Angeles / Restaurant

Perfect for a fast lunch.

London / Art

The most beautiful contemporary gallery in London aptly named White Cube, the space is an artwork in itself. Its portfolio of artists and exhibition programme is top of the league, always presented as with style and grace as the space itself. Photograph by Paul Riddle

Vail / Natural Area

Another beautiful area to go ski touring with a breathtaking view. The elevation is high up so you'll e guaranteed snow. The skiing is varied with more mellow or steeper so make sure to read the bulletin before getting out in the outback.

Toronto / Cafe

Best Coffee in the city, Hands down! Multiple locations all over the city. Each have their own distinct Atmosphere. The Park location borders Trinity Bellwoods Park. If you want to stroll with your coffee. Keep your eyes peeled for the albino squirrel and watch your step with the slack liners in the park. The staff at SJCB are talented and not preachy about coffee education. It's just good, consistent beverages and assorted pastries. No wifi. Not a place to set up an office for the day. Toronto has lots of those.

Carrboro / Shop

A former bait and tackle shop taken over by a metal sculptor and BMXer in partner with a local doctor who turned it into a haven for community, creativity and good eats. You can come here, grab a coffee and a fresh tamale, answer emails, bump into five people you know, and grab some eggs from a local farm on the way out. It's the kind of relaxed, cheerfully odd place that seems to thrive in this odd bubble of the liberal American south.

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.

London / Bookstore

Great selection of books and magazine with a big focus on rare. out-of-print books Japanese photography. Can sends hours in this little shop. I'd try to avoid on Market day (Saturday) if you want to have a good look as it can get a bit busy for such a small space.
