I have no problems with Neukölln. I don’t think that it is dangerous, I don’t have any problems with the people living there (hipsters included) and I have no envy at all towards people paying so much less rent than I do. Still I am not a Newkölln enthusiast. Something makes me nervous there. Which is a pity, because they have one restaurant I would kill to have in Mitte, Kreuzberg or Friedrichshain. The Lavanderia Vecchia (ital. the old laundry) is an amazing place with amazing food. And during the day for lunch time the prices are amazing too. In the evening they just serve full course menus for a fixed price of 58 EUR (drinks included). Certainly more of an option for special occassions. The social engagement of the restaurant is quite impressive. Once a month they serve extra cheap food to unemployd and homeless people. Check out some impressions and the address after the jump.

WTF! It’s time to light a candle AGAIN. Christmas is approaching, urgh. This last November week and the upcoming month is full of concerts we don’t want to miss. Not to speak of the parties we want to attend. It won’t help, you will need an ( hangovered ) extra shift at the supermarket or coffee shop you are working at to be able to afford all these joyable events. Of course you should have a look on our Facebook page too, you might be able to win something. Parties after the jump: Read on…

On board are also Danish artist Lars Bjerre and Berlin-based street artist Anton Unai whom we’ve both recently written about here on iHeartBerlin.de. Some more examples and details after the jump.

On Friday night we took the unimaginable journey to Neukölln to check out the concert of PnP at the former brothel Weisepuff. There is quite a different air in Neukölln and you will find a completely different audience to what you are used to in the usual Mitte joint. But the atmosphere was really nice and the concert was a blast. PnP and their wonderfully trashy dancers The Crystal Tits gave a powerful fun show with lots of action. The music is pretty much Peaches inspired, only the lyrics are even more secually explicit. The super handsome Sampson, who is one half of the band, is actually the one who made the Sparkle Army party at Monster Ronsons a while back. Go look after the jump for some naughty details.
