Inside the vibrant Wrangelkiez a new restaurant called Eckstück opened recently. Its walls are covered by artwork of Berlin’s countless street artists. Even if some of the graffiti work does not reflect my taste, the work of Pabo and Hr. v. Bias is really beautiful. The menu consist mainly of pizza and the atmosphere has something of a student canteen. For all fans of street art the visit of Eckstück provides a good overview of the styles of many Berlin-based street artists. More pictures and the address, after the jump.

For all of you who love to customize your fashion magazine while waiting in the train or at a café for the as usual unpunctual date this exhibition at the gallery Camera Work will kick your ass. Two photographers for the Italian Vouge, Tina Berning & Michaelangelo di Battista, decided to go further then the standard beauty photography. So their FACE/project was born. To see more pictures and the address of the gallery take your face after the jump.

To try out new restaurants is more of a couple thing. Single women don’t eat anything anyway until they caught a new man and single men do not understand why they should spend so much money for food if they can still eat a lot cheaper at the snack-bar at the corner where it always tastes best. Okay perhaps it’s not always like that. But the little kick of the new thing can be enjoyed far better with the loved one than with friends or relatives. Visiting the Three Sisters will be a kick that I’ll save for later for a while. In morbid Casino of the Künstlerhaus Bethanien, this restaurant opened its doors to visitors not so long ago. If you are ready to engage with new stuff then you will find the address after the jump.

On Saturday we went to a beautiful picnic on the peninsula Alt Stralau. There we got ourselves acquainted with the new Lands’ End Canvas collection. We could even take two pieces from the collection in exchange for old stuff and mispurchases. I myself have never been so far to the peninsula Altstralau and can recommend the place for beautiful shore walks and a visit to the park. For the more romantic boys and girls there are also small rowing boats for hire. More photographic impressions, information on how to reach the peninsula and how you can win pieces of the canvas collection after the jump.

Last Sunday me and Katja were so lucky as to get a table at the pop-up restaurant Pale Blue Door from London that has opened up in Berlin for only 12 nights. We were seated in the midth of a little quirky village of shacks and huts that were build into a garden right in the middle of the city. The charismatic Amanda Pet who is as mad as a box of hair entertained us through the evening with her hilarious dance numbers and flirtatious chats at the tables. The experiences was studded with so many cute little details, it was quite magical really. You should try to get a table in the coming 2 weeks. More impressions after the jump or in greater detail over at Travelettes.
UPDATE: It has been extended until September 12th!

I love a pop, and even better: a pop-up shop. The online vintage boutique Das Neue Schwarz is just doing that these days at Mulackstrasse in Mitte. How practical that you can now get your fingers on their selected fine designer vintage goods before you buy them. They do not only carry formerly unaffordable pieces by Helmut Lang, YSL, MMM, Prada Escada and Balenciaga, but also clothes by avant-garde heroes like Bernhard Willhelm, C.Neeon and Ann Demeulemeester. Nice. Details after the jump.

My absolute favorite ice cream flavor is yogurt. Obviously, a store that only sells only frozen yogurt is totally heaven for me. I have been hearing and reading about frozen yogurt places popping up all over town a lot lately, for instance over at travelettes and sugarhigh. But I do remember that already last year a shop opened up at Invalidenstrasse in Mitte. So I took the afternoon off to find it and give it a try.
Yoli Frozen Yogurt is for starters the first Authentic Nonfat Frozen Yogurt Store in Germany. Hurray! And I can assure you, it is absolutely delicious. The many toppings and sauces are countless but the staff will help you find the smartest and tastiest combination. I had brownie sauce and raspberries and my buddy had physalis (no, not the STD - the FRUIT!) and dulce de leche (that’s South American caramalized milk cream). They also have smoothies and parfait which are yet to be tested by me. More photos and details after the jump.

Tomorrow night there is going to be a very special installation by Russian artist Alexei Kostroma opening at Wilde Gallery that we would like to recommend. The artist has lived through quite a wild history lately. About a year ago he was shot by his jealous wife in the head and in his right hand. He miraculously survived and his hand recovered. His installation Feathered Chaos is a celebration of the events in life, both good and bad, that are beyond our control, a poignant reminder that in order to overcome life’s unpredictable and seemingly insurmountable hardships, all we need to do is lighten up. Jump after the jump for infos now and into the feathers tomorrow. As Russian tradition requires there will be a lot of Wodka…
