Now based at Anomaly in New York, James Cooper formerly spent time in London working at Agency Republic and then Dare. His five picks are here.
"I have always been into Ping Pong but since moving to New York I have been playing more and taking it more seriously. And playing against wise old Chinese men, who thrash me".
"Feijoada is the national dish of Brasil. My wife is Brasilian so I've been there a bit and often eat at Brasilian restaurants. It's basically rice, beans, sausages, pork and more pork.? Proper.".
"I have followed Arsenal since I was about 14 when I went to my first game. They may not be the most well liked team but I honestly feel they try to do play the game the way it should be played and run the club decently.".
"One day we were looking for some cool music in New York and up popped East Village Radio. It's free, it rocks and it has a session called 'The Nerd Tank' which is intelligent nerdcore. I am somewhat of a nerd..".
"The best place I have ever been to. Beautiful place, beautiful people - all the monks could be male models, yak burgers and crazy lakes. Bit of a shame the Chinese are going to f**k it up.".
