They serve Trinidadian food and whatever you get you cannot go wrong. With your rotis you can get tamarind sauce, chicken, pumpkin and pepper sauce if you like spice. If the line is long do not be discouraged, it's worth the wait. Get doubles and aloo pie too.

If you're feeling doughnuts, these are great.

In the Bushwick area our homeboy owns this store for clothing. He recently did a Paris Fashion Week too.

Everybody knows about Central Park, but this even better. You can play soccer here and at the back of the park there's a drummers circle with hoola hoopers that you can get involved with.

These guys close at around 2 in the afternoon because they distribute their product all around town. They make different fresh fruit combinations like mango and cranberry muffins and then the next day it'll be like pineapple. They sell out all the time.

If there are any musicians who wanna know where to go - come here. They have the kind of selection on sale that is specifically for working musicians and people wanting to buy stuff.

A lot of our guys get a lot of work done in here. If you're trying to get inked up they're super trustworthy, super nice people and very talented.

Tattoo and shop owner Spider Sinclair, brings his own elegant twist to traditional fine line biker tats.

Lakara is the coolest guy I've ever met. Such a down to earth old Mexican punk dude. Has the sickest imagination, coolest artwork and does proper rock n roll tattoos.

If you’re into graffiti and old school hip hop then Charlie, the owner, is the guy for you. If you have more of an astrological calling then Mario is your boy. A small shop with super good vibes.

Moko is a young Mawi tattoo artist who specialises in soho tamoko which is the traditional hand poked method of tattoo originating from the natives in New Zealand.

Asunción

Night club in the central area, located in the basement of a classic hotel from the 80's, the club kept the original architecture and furniture, and it's a very unique and elegant space with a great sound system and atmosphere, it's where I play monthly as a resident DJ, and there are techno nights on Saturdays and different styles on Fridays hosting guest events. It's where I had the best cocktails in town. Best Cocktail: Thai Massage

Bar and club located in Las Mercedes neighbourhood, where I also play monthly, the venue has a Thursday night run by Inbetween label, with residents and guests DJs. The venue has a small and cozy but powerful dancefloor with a bar, and drinks menu is simple but proper: draft beer, Fernet & Coke and Gin&Tonic are the favourites there.

New venue in Centro, located at an old colonial big house, where the space was adapted to a music recording studio, a café and a nightclub and record shop called Panpanam.

Asian fusion restaurant in Las Mercedes with great cocktails, a cozy backyard with music and an inside more intimate area. 
Best cocktail: Las Mercedes / Best Meal: Chicken Bimbibap and Veggie Mandu


Gourmet versions of typical Paraguayan food, like manioc, empanadas, corn, meat, normally I order to share, dishes come in small portions, so I usually order all the menu and share everything. Their menu is constantly changing and everything is absurdly delicious.

It's a bar, with a pub vibe, owned by skateboarders, located in Las Lomas, they serve tapas, finger food and various craft beer brands.

100% sourdough bread take away bakery, located in Villa Morra and Las Mercedes. They're whole wheat bread is my favorite for breakfast, they also sell croissants, brownies and other sweet bakery

Their slogan says it all "Cocina sin Raíces" - which means "rootless kitchen", they basically have pizza and tapas, and a variety of dishes from typical local food to hamburger and fries. Located in barrio Mburucuyá, at a dead end street, with tables outside and inside, nice music selection.

Local and latin-american clay & sculpture museum, with contemporary exhibitions and antique art collection. 

Contemporary art gallery/space and house in 2 addresses, with guided visits, open space to see the house, artist’s studio, workshops, events.


Legendary Tattoo studio in Centro from one of the first tattoo artists of Paraguay; Walter de Souza Lobo, traditional and Japanese tattoos and where many travelling artists also work while in town.

Denaisha

Minneapolis 

My favourite place to get tattooed. A non-male-owned space where the energy is impeccable. I was so comfortable getting tattooed here I fell asleep on the table. Plus, if you like underwater creatures as tattoos, my favourite to go to for that has been the artist Joi.

If you're kinky and you like to have your glitz and gadgets, head to Bondesque on lake and Lyndale for your toy and torture needs. They also have very cute kink attire/lingerie and the workers are always very kind, helpful, and open about any questions you might have! My favourite place to go on dates, or for when I just want to treat myself. Plus they always have info on upcoming BDSM events happening in the cities.

If you're new to toys or you just want to educate yourself more on sexuality in general, going to smitten kitten is strongly recommended! I get all my favorite books from here, rather your curious about the connections between sex and astrology, sex with an able bodied or disabled or differently shaped partner, or a first timer, or pretty much anything more, the selection of books here is always my go-to. Not to mention the wide selection of safe, sparky new toys to choose from!

My most frequented metaphysical shop in Minneapolis, I go here for all my cleansing, wishing and manifestation needs. They have crystals, incense, waters, candles and my favourite selection of astrology-related books. And it’s right across the street from Smitten Kitten and Bondesque, so I always get to visit them all on the same day!

My favourite restaurant, and meal in general, is Awaze tibs with a veggie platter and injera from Red Sea. One of those places where the food is good every single time. They never miss.

Exploring the Kinky Side of Minneapolis with Denaisha

That’s a spot I've been eating at since I was like 17.

This is a Jamaican spot, I started eating here like 2012, they just opened up a new location in Inglewood. I order curry chicken, cabbage, jerk chicken and rice with the hot sauce.

The poppin weed spots in Cali is Cookies, you gotta go to a Cookies store. Berner the homie, he’s the founder of Cookies. So that's the number one weed spot in California.

That's the spot where the basketball players, rappers, celebrities, the models and shit go, you can't just be a regular person trying to get up in there. You can't be on yo phone, you can't take no pictures and you can't record. So you can go there and enjoy yourself, and you don't have to worry about people walking up to you asking for pictures and all this weird shit.

It's multiple locations if you into fashion and I'm not going to give up the spots neither! But H Lorenzo sell certain brands.
