Where Berlin Startups get their brainpower Part I

Wednesday, January 25th, 2012

Or maybe a bit simpler where they eat!

Ever wondered where you can meet all these tech startup we are working on the next big  thing guys? Well there is only one answer to this question and it is: Rosenthaler Platz.

 

The problem: There are about 50% really good venues and about 50% really bad ones. So these days the good ones where you will meet employees from Soundcloud, Readmill or Amen are Transit, Co Co Banh Mi or if you are a into a bit more fancy Asian stuff Dudu on Torstr.

For the investor meetings but also to have some relaxing times and have good drinks the ones who are blessed with a membership will meet at Soho House Berlin.

Tuna Steak Tartare at Soho House Berlin.

And then there is about a 10 minute walk away from Rosenthaler Platz a place where usually on fridays a lot of people mingle its a meet and greet amongst the scene. The place is called Papa Pane and has huge Pizzas, great Pasta and really good deals. Brad Pitt likes going there when in twon with his architects. Thoe fridays are also used to sometimes have the first weekend beer or a house vine to slwoly start the weekend ;)

More to come in Part 2 which will be published here soon!

 

 

Glühwein & Bratwurst: Hit Those Christmas Markets in Berlin

Thursday, December 16th, 2010

Good Food in Berlin will be joining forces with Berlin ♥ ’s You to bring you Berlin food that you will love! Today we hit the beloved and infamous Weihnachtsmärkte of Berlin.
Christmas in Berlin

I love Christmas and I adore Christmas in Berlin. No other country in the world does Christmas so well as Germany, with their ever-present Weihnachtsmärkte most German cities, towns and villages. Shops, stores and companies go all out for the Christmas season and decorate their displays, windows and even toilets in a cosy Christmas theme. Visiting a Weihnachtsmarkt is a fabulous way to really be engulfed in pure Christmas atmosphere and to shop for nice holiday presents for your loved ones (or yourself).

Germans like to visit Christmas markets too. Many working people like to pop out during their lunchbreak for a Bratwurst from the Weihnachtsmarkt, or they sneakily nibble on some sweetly fried dough (Mutzenmandel). Even when the temperatures drop below the -10, you will still see many stubborn Germans relaxing with a currywurst and Glühwein on a Christmasmarket. You may freeze your hands off, but that is all part of its charm. The Weihnachtsmärkte are my personal favourite when it comes to the season of jolly and holly. And that is why I will sum up some of the best, coolest and most ‘special’ ones ready for you to be visited. (more…)

Tragic Turns of Life Bar @ MMX Premiere Friday 26th 18:00h – ??:??

Thursday, February 25th, 2010

Friday night. A bar made of concrete and comfort. A place to live the good times and the bad. To silently stare into a glass of Vodka, Bukowski-style/ to casually laugh at the meaninglessness of it all/ or to enjoy the weekend’s first round with the crowd: That’s

The Green Zone seems to really exist in Berlin! What does it take to run a party in an old Iraqi embassy in the middle of Berlin? Well I suppose not a lot. A generator, two lapt tops, speakers and a but more. Setup a bar invite people and word  to mouth in Berlin works for itself in Berlin. That`s it your are set to go and have a great time!
