Austin / Cafe

Situated in a beautiful building with a real art (biased here), Elizabeth St. serves the best breakfast báhn mî and makes you feel good just being there.

Los Angeles / Area

I had a studio in this neighborhood for 3 years. Just take your camera and spend a couple hours walking around admiring the colors and people and odd shops.

Amsterdam / Restaurant

Hidden in the greenery near Westerpark, the perfect hideaway from street noise can be found if you know where to look: a little farm called "De Buurtboerderij". Surrounded by a bunch of sheep and a happily decorated garden, the restaurant inside serves one fixed menu a week for a low price. The farm serves as community center as well and is run by volunteers — and you when you eat there! — and there are plenty of sweet people and animals to hang out with.

London / Shop

Great comic shop that stocks small press, and everything else you'd expect to find. The kids section starts at early ages and has something all the way up.

Paris / Bar

Chez Jeanette is a cool bar to hang out in located on the same street where I have lived since I was two years old. Many trendy young people hang out here everyday where one can listen to good music whilst sipping nice drinks.

Margate / Restaurant

Sargasso is cozy, relaxed, authentic food. If you're lucky enough to go on a sunny day you will find yourself in what almost is a childhood memory. Oysters are a must when ordering. Natural wine is served here.

New York / Restaurant

Most of the food here is meant to be eaten family-style with everyone sharing all the dishes on the table. Most of these dishes are best when accompanied by rice: Northern and Northeastern Thai dishes with sticky rice, Central and Southern Thai with jasmine rice. In Thailand, only a spoon and fork are used: the spoon to eat with and the fork to push food onto the spoon. We encourage you to try this method as it is the easiest way to eat many of these dishes. Some things are traditionally eaten with the hands such as grilled meat and sticky rice. Please ask your server for guidance if you wish. Chopsticks are normally used only when eating noodles, Vietnamese or Chinese food (they will be supplied if appropriate with a certain dish), however chopsticks are available upon request.

San Francisco / Nature

Dense eucalyptus forest on a hill. Great hike on foggy San Francisco days.

New York / Cinema

After his guitar class, I would ride the 1 train down and meet him for a movie. That was years ago. Now I continue to come, sometimes alone. It’s one thing I enjoy doing by myself: going to the movies to see independent films that are oftentimes bizarre and somewhat depressing, but I like it all the same.

New York / Park

When the weather is nice I love to come here with my friends and eat falafel and talk forever and lay in the sun. It’s just a short walk from my place and has a great view of Manhattan and there’s always good trash washed up on the shore.

New York / Restaurant

Great mid-eastern food in Chelsea/Flatiron/NoMad/whatever you call that area.

Melbourne / Place

A secluded coastal town only a short road trip out of Melbourne. Nice place to wander around and go for walks up into the hills.

Portland / Writer

Veronica Martin is a writer based in Portland, Oregon. Her interest in the historical leads her to work with archival material (objects, ephemera), and to research gestures of the past (how people dressed, prepared food, etc., movements lost as technology and tastes changed), examining how this ecology of the past appears and asserts itself here and now. Her poetry and essays have appeared in Vestoj, Kinfolk, Hesperios Journal, Design Week Portland, and other publications. In 2014 she wrote and edited a column for Tin House’s blog, The Open Bar, about the intersection of fashion and literature, called Your Slipcase is Showing.

Ledegem / Designer

Contemporary, yet timeless. Minimal, yet warm. Graphic, yet calm. Calculated, yet intuitive. The characteristics defining the work of interior architect Frederic Kielemoes, seem to be an interplay between opposites. Yet, his designs are pleasant, balanced spaces with a richness in materials, colours and detailing. His portfolio has a strong focus on residential interiors, but also includes exhibition stand designs for respected brands. Frederic is a collector and long-standing admirer of Belgian Geometric Abstract Art, with key artists such as Gilbert Decock and Marc Verstockt. In their formal language, basic shapes such as the circle and the square are strongly present. Frederic's designs often start with a similar sensibility, before they get sculpted into refined, threedimensional environments. His choice to work in a modest office with one other interior architect is a deliberate one. Frederic prefers to work in close contact with his clients on the one hand, and the contractors and craftsmen on the other. To hone his knowledge, he can regularly be found on site and in workshops. "My aim is to understand the limits as well as the endless possiblities of materials and techniques, to come to the most elegant solutions."
