I have an ever-growing obsession with shopping sustainably, and Joburg is a fantastic place to do this. Here are a few suggestions.

JFF Rooftop Farm is a nursery/coffee shop in Braamfontein. The nursery is on the building's roof, surrounded by skyscrapers and treetops.

I've eaten a couple of meals at Syrian Rose, a new restaurant in Fordsburg. It's one of the best places in the city to eat outside.

I took a graffiti walk through Joburg, sponsored by the Goethe Institute. It was great to look at street art for the first time in a while.

I visited the Wits Art Museum to see the current exhibition of works from the Standard Bank African Art Collection. It was stunning.

Who knew Fordsburg has a dive bar? Archie's Pub & Grill, on the aptly named Lover's Walk, is one of Fordsburg's best kept secrets.

I visited 56 Jorissen Street, a new student residence in Braamfontein, earlier this week. The views are amazing.

I took a walk around Diagonal St. to shop for fabric. We made many interesting discoveries, including MiniMark Wholesale.

I spent a Friday walking around downtown Joburg, taking photos with Gerald Garner. It was one of my favorite days this year.

I attended the new "Organic Vegan Experience" tour with Honest Travel last weekend. I now see urban gardens in a new light.

Yummy Mayfair, a shop selling local and imported prepared foods, has the best selection of American junk food I've seen in Joburg.

During my recent Joburg cycling tour, I briefly visited Mama Fifi at Bertrams Inner City Farm. It was so interesting, I had to go back.
