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…

Yesterday in Mitte summer hangout Weinbergspark the odd Nola cafe visitor, drug dealer and sun lover became witness of strange occurences taking place in the empty children’s swimming pool in the middle of the park. People wearing masks in horribly coloured clothing had a little party with techno music in the bright light of this sunny day. Read and see more after the jump: Read on - Weiterlesen »

The Transit at Ostkreuz has been my favorite restaurant in quite some time. It is not only really nicely decorated with all those colorful birdcages hanging from the ceiling (don’t worry, they don’t have roasted canaries on the menu), it also has the most delicious Thai dishes that you can get in Friedrichshain. And what is special about it: They serve all their tasty little dishes in small portions for 3 EUR each. This way you can stack your table full of things and everyone can get a taste of everything. A bit like tapas, only better tasting. Oh and the coco panna cotta with mango sauce is a MUST HAVE. Now that I think of it, I feel like having it today… But as I don’t live in Friedrichshain anymore I would probably head to the second Transit at Rosenthaler Platz. More photos and details after the jump.

The little cafe Fleury at Weinbergsweg has been around for a while. But it only got to my attention when I moved to the Prenzlauer Berg - Mitte area last summer. Since then it has become one of my favorite places to have cake and coffee or breakfast. They really have one of the best breakfasts that you can get (for under 10 EUR). It’s my absolute standard. And in the summer (dreaming of it right now…) I love to get a rhubarb tarte and rhubarb spritzer and enjoy it on a blanket at the Weinbergspark around the corner (you could totally paint an impressionist picture of that…). Impressions and details after the jump.

While Indian Cobras are dying because of polluted water, Berlin is expecting a generous amount of snakes this week. Yes! Berlin Fashion Week is coming again and I guess you are all dying for the little guestlist places at the upcoming events. How to survive the poisonous looks and the evil remarks about your outfit which is always last season no matter what you do? Well I got myself an evil looking but sweet as honey bodyguard and some toxic outfits myself. If you prefer a more peaceful yet trendy way, I recommend you take a look at the Yoga collection from the new upcoming Berlin-based label Umasan. For more lookbook pictures and informations about their flagship store opening after the jump.

Oh, don’t you just love it, when something pops up? Like a message on Skype by someone you care for, or an ad in your browser that says you just won an iPhone, or an opportunity to make out with someone hot, or… the possibilities are endless.
In the case of this little story we are talking about the popping up of a temporary store, specifically one that sells Original Penguin clothing, hence its name: The Original Penguin Pop-up Store. Hurray! It will pop open its dolly little doors this Saturday at 18h next to/withinside the freshly opened Trüffelschwein menswear store at Rose-Luxemburg-Strasse that has recently moved into a new bigger place across the street and is therefore also worth a visit. Pop by for drinks and music and some silly handclapping! The invite after the jump.
