This place became my band’s and my comfort spot in Berlin while we were homebasing it there this summer. The Frisch gestrudeltes Softeis aus Brandenburger Büffelmilch (with shortbread cookies and olive oil, with or without the lemon curd) is the best ice cream I’ve ever had. My mother in law keeps chasing the dragon in Manhattan trying to find a comparable one. Her search continues.

Davvero Gelato in Lakeside, RVA is my favorite dessert and coffee (yes, you read right) shop in the whole city.
They have new flavors and specials every week and the quality never fails. The flavors are so dynamic and awe-inspiring.
Bonus points for the darling outside seating area that always hosts a lovely breeze and makes me feel like I’m on a beach getaway.
My partner and I always want to try the specials- this week was the Mix-Mix sundae made with ube gelato, jack fruit, sweet red beans, sago, ube whipped cream, and rice crispies- but, we can never resist getting an affogato in addition.
This one was made with their white coffee gelato, but the best one I’ve ever had (not just there, the best one EVER) was made with their pine nut and olive oil gelato.
Fucking orgasmic, fr.
Also, EVERYTHING IS VEGAN AND GLUTEN FREE! It’s a dream. ☁️

One of the best ice cream stores in Milan!! Located in what I would like to call the Diana-district (idk maybe it is actually the name of the neighbourhood). Anyway its in Porta Venezia just a little to the left. My litmus test for how good an ice cream store is is how unique their flavours are (or if they have any at all). This place has a flavour called Diana so I think it reasonably passes. (In any case a flavour that I believe is inspired by princess Diana is kunt.)

It’s not a game, it’s a simulator. I discovered it this year and it’s one of the only things that lets me mentally check out. Designing five-way six-lane highway exchanges and water treatment systems for 100k digital citizens brings me calm. The metropolis I’m working on right now is called Dirt Roadington, but by now I have upgraded all the dirt roads to nice ones lined with trees and bike lanes. Pairs well with the slight oxygen deprivation of an airplane ride.

I travel far more than the average human should, so I appreciate a good piece of luggage, and as a DJ-turned-touring musican with a band, I now know the supremacy of the pelican air, and they come in amazing colors these days. They look so good I want to eat them.
