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.

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.

To be perfectly honest, I didn’t exactly warm up with the local cuisine when i was visiting South Korea and I’m equally unimpressed with the food at the popular Yamyam. So when I received the invite to the opening of the new Korean restaurant Kimchi Princess sometime last year I was not exactly thrilled about it. Especially since Kimchi is a dish I don’t really care for at all. But for some reason I landed there after all the other day and to my big surprise it was really so delicious! Their specialty is Korean grill and we took the standard which is thin sliced meat. With 16-19 EUR per person it’s actually a bit pricy for Asian standards, but so worth it. We ate it all until the last bit, except for the Kimchi that came as a side dish… Details and more impressions of the stylish restaurant in Kreuzberg after the jump.

Apparently not everything in Berlin is as much of a clichée as it sometimes seems so. Last week I discovered a brand new shop where I would have never suspected it. Inside the gross Kreuzbergcenter the small avant-garde shop Nr.4 is selling really nice and special pieces. So if you are into the more distinguished labels here is the right spot to check. More details after the jump.

So, the other day I unintentionally landed in the lesbian/gay/undecided bar that is the Barbie Deinhoff in Kreuzberg. Quite interesting folk that is hangig out here, I must say. That night we had the pleasure to experience a little pre-show to the Queer X Show Tour which will make its official stop tonight at LUX. Raunchy! The full tits, orgasms and lesbian-encounter action after the jump.

So, the usually overpopulated Badeschiff is opening for its summer season this weekend. I hope you all practiced your Kyle Minogue - Slow group performance to be ready and fit for the sun decks. Yeah, because who actually wants to go into the pool, right?
Anyways, there is a lot going on there this weekend, especially in the evening there are some nice concerts worth checking out. Although I’ll be in Hamburg this weekend I will hopefully be back early enough on Sunday evening to catch the performance of the lovely Clara Hill who we were first introduced to by some songs she did with Jazzanova. She will play with a live band (including strings!) and this sounds just to good to be missed!

This weekend is all about one of your senses. The intellectual ear is invited to enjoy the best contemporary German literature, some great singer songwriters and some worth- listening-to newcomer bands at the LAN Festival. Actually I am pretty sure that there will be a lot of pearls to discover. So even if you are not the reading type you should let yourself be surprised. I was there two years ago and was especially thrilled by the singer songwriters. So take the chance to immerse in this wonderful festival and enjoy its incredible atmosphere. More illustrations from Andreas Töpfer and infos after the jump.

Impossible but true. Watching so many magazines in Germany die is not a really a fun thing. So we’re relieved to hear that the small Berlin based Kunstmagazin was able to survive and thrive since almost three years for now. This is a good reason to party I think. And just to have the right vibe, the party is paired with an exhibition opening featuring a lot of great artist. The theme of the exhibition is more or less the eeriness. The little preview of images after the jump indicates that some of the art work will be pretty amazing.
