HYPEBEAST

"Olso’s Opera House — which opened in 2007 — has become one of the city’s most iconic modern landmarks. Sitting on the city’s harbor, the building was designed by Norwegian architecture studio Snøhetta and went on to win awards at the World Architecture Festival and the European Union Prize for Contemporary Architecture. If you want to explore the architecture, and the wider city, the Opera House’s roof is open to the public and offers a range of views across Oslo."

NEEKO: “I’ve had some luck pulling sought after chase cards from the booster boxes Vancity Pokémon sells. One that stands out is the Blaziken VMAX alternative art from the most recent Pokémon set ‘Chilling Reign,’ which goes for about $180-$200 USD for the single card. Honestly, investing into Pokémon has been a fun journey. It takes me back to my childhood and you can make some good paper."

SM: “Whenever I go back to Calgary, I make a reservation at Native Tongues. It’s always tasty. I get the guacamole, carnitas, pork belly pibil and hongos (mushroom tacos) and the Patrón margarita. I get all the salsa so you can top the tacos yourself — lots of salsa options. I’m a big sauce guy. Hits every time. The servers are very friendly and chill."

MG: “For drinks, we usually rock with the Lucid Dream with Patrón, and for food, you gotta try their citrus olives, the dumplings and the brisket bao. It’s a dope spot to pre-game. Before the lockdown, we’d pull up here to eat and sip a bit. Ideal night out would be to grab some drinks, pull up to an underground party or pop-up and hit a studio after.”

"Before hitting the studio, snacks are "a must." Manila Grey's go-to snack at Dank Mart is a "half pound bag of The Snackie Chan Tasty Buds. No competition." Once they get to the studio, Soliven says "We can cook up at an afterparty but we can also go get geeky on some deep cut sessions and get into the technicals of the sonics - I think we prefer the quiet nights more, on our ninja shit. Regardless, we tap in."

SM: “When I was 19, one of my best friends, Cole Torode, was planning to open a coffee shop. He's been the Canadian National Barista Champion 2018, 2019 and Top 5 in the world both of those years. It was cool to see how Rosso Coffee Roasters grew into a big operation. They have a sick pour over — it's a rotating exotic or competition coffee, always a unique flavour experience.”

"Once in the city, Tivoli is hard to miss — it’s within the town hall square as well as Copenhagen’s main train station. The amusement park is something out of a fairy tale book with its colorful decor, fanciful structures and exhilarating rides. You can literally hear the sound of children laughing and enjoying themselves while walking nearby. And while Tivoli is something children will gravitate to more, grown-ups too can find this place adventurous and fun — enjoy the food, the rides and the scenery."

"Originally opened way back in 2006 in Oslo’s meatpacking district, Hunting Lodge has since moved to a bigger and better location in the Grünerløkka area. The store stocks a diverse range of brands, with labels including Our Legacy, Brain Dead and Adsum sitting alongside a number of outdoors and workwear-inspired brands such as Snow Peak, The North Face and Patagonia. Additionally, Hunting Lodge stocks a number of own brand pieces focusing on basics and homeware."

"There are hardly any bad reviews for Pluto which means this dining destination is a must-visit for anyone wanting to try delicious Scandinavian and Danish fare. A 12-course menu is a solid choice, but a la carte seafood options are also highly recommended by critics. Feast on tapas while enjoying a nice wine pairing from Pluto’s vast selection, then dive into one of the mains such as the scallops or ribs."

"Opened in 2006, MAJOR is considered the first streetwear outpost in the city, with the boutique offering coveted sneakers and apparel alongside its own in-house line. Its revamped and relocated flagship now occupies a historic Georgetown building, featuring an expansive shoe wall and apparel display designed in the essence of a walk-in closet."
