Even the most convinced urbanist and city tiger will have his/her moments of street satiety. In Vienna, one of the most gorgeous green spaces is located in the 9 th. district, not far from the University and Ringstraße.
I talk (yeah well, I write) about Universitätscampus at Alser Straße / Lange Gasse.
It´s an accumulaton of several [...]
Alright, call me posh, but I like Naschmarkt in Vienna. It is one of the few places in Vienna to get real ethnical edibles and ready made food.
But still, Naschmarkt is full of Viennese singularity.. I mean, I haven´t seen another market that has a stall only selling “Essiggurken und Champagnerkraut” (pickled gherkins and champagne-Sauerkraut). [...]
Strolling down Freyung square in Vienna I found this on the back of one of the sales stalls of the organic food market there… Somehow… well, interesting…
Just two impressions from the snow capped Sigmund Freud Park in Vienna today. So good to have a cell-camera!
Besides, I like snow
While looking for new jeans I stumbled over an old traditional viennes coffeehouse in the middle of the lively Mariahiflerstraße. Café Ritter is situated in the middle of this shopping street in a wonderfull, splendid house from the 19th century.
The café is one large, L-shaped room with a high, stucko panneled cieling. So it could [...]
As someone being interested in films I find it hard to find good, classic films. Most video shops don´t have films like “Dr. Stranglove”. What´s more, it´s even hard finding them on the internet.
Happily, I found a video shop with exactly this choice, and they even serve great coffe. It´s the Oz – Cinethek in [...]

It´s a game for [...]
Okay, I know that I´m not a person who can easily hide his fascinarion, but in this case I am sure it´s absolutely right to be fascinated! I found my favourite TV-Chef and cockery books author, and this is the british Nigella Lawson.
Yey, I know that she is very famous in the UK, but as [...]
At last, I found an old, traditional viennese “Kaffeehaus” which serves good coffee, it´s the Café Sperl in Gumpendorferstraße 11.
Café Sperl is located near to the Naschmarkt (a marketplace which I should portrait very soon), infamous shopping-mekka Mariahilferstraße and the inner city of Vienna.
The Café itself, as you can see on the picture, is kept [...]
Recently I´ve been to the Café Central in Wien Herrengasse for the first time. Of course, I was anxious to see the famous interior of the café that housed famous people like Sigmund Freud, Arthur Schnitzler and Leo Trotzki. And I was anxious tasting the coffee…
Well, as I have already written in another post, the [...]
