The burgers in White trash...

White Trash Fast Food is always awesome, and totally deserves it's own post. The first time I went there was maybe 10 years ago when it was founded in a small ex-chinese restaurant. The waiters didn't speak German and the drinks were for 2 different price categories: cheap ass -vodka for us cheap asses, and pricy one for the fancy pants.

Nowadays it's really close to Rosa-Luxembourgplatz, I'm pretty sure the address would be Schönhauser Allee something. It's a totally disturbed mixture of american fast food, china, biker-sized beer jugs and tattoos, and non-sense. I love non-sense. My dream job would be writing the menus in White Trash.





Justin Timberlake was there too.


Raclette salad. SO good. I mean raclette. MMMM. and the salad was huge and sooo fresh and tasty. It was 9 euros but totally worth it.


And the burgers are why we went there.


If you haven't yet - GO! if you're coming to visit us, remind us to GO!!!

Cafe's and bars worth your visit

Here are multiple ways and places to warm the bench on cold winter days, have a sip of juice, beer or coffee, the way you like it. Some more high end, some really humble, but all cosy and with good fresh stuff. Pic your favorite.

Barcomi's with Maiju on Sophienstrasse, Mitte. Expensive for Berlin, but really yummy sandwiches. See for yourself.

Scotch & Sofa with Saana and Rene on Kollwitzstrasse, Prenzlauerberg. Cosy and warm on a wintery night, they don't serve food but some snacks.

Laundry, in case you'd ask:
scarf - self made,
shirt - men's from H&M,
belt - vintage,
pants 9 euros from H&M

The original old Café Einstein with mom, on Unter den Linden, Mitte. Way better than the trendy chain-Einsteins. Reeeally expensive, so you should bring mommy along too. Really nostalgic and good too, feels like the cafés of Paris, and the mozzarella bufala is divine.

Turandot with Yvet, Sami and Pelle, on Bergmannstrasse, Kreuzberg. This was the cosiest bar we could find on Bergmannstrasse, that har recently become much more posh and polished than it used to be. Unfortunately you can smoke there, and everybody does, which I hate, but it's hard to find a cool place in Berlin that's smoke free. It's a great place for us kids to sit listening the stories of a legendary Rock-dude.

Still the best way to spend a Sunday

Fall is clearly here, but it doesn't keep the people away from my favorite Sunday spot - Mauerpark. We went there again this cold and rainy Sunday to show the place to our weekend visitors, Azu and Martin, from Stockholm and Tokyo. This time I wasn't selling buns, because I had seen the weather forecast. But the feisty park dwellers and karaoke listeners convinced me to go again next week, with a big thermos full of hot chocolate and warm gloves.

In the flea market the cold was making some people desperate and creative:

People still want their food, this time just hotter. So I'll be there with my business hunch next weekend. Loving the layout of this soup & toastie-shop:

What you don't get from Mauerpark, you don't need. Boobs?:

Sunday's laundry:
Coat - Bershka
hoodie - Marc o polo
dress - H&M
jeans - Cheap Monday
boots - vintage from Mauerpark
gloves - Ginatricot
scarf - I should start wearing other scarves, man
necklace - Youth vs. Future

The evening went on on Oderberger Strasse, where the cafés are cosy and warm. We had some toasted panini and schnitzel in Entweder Oder (second and third pic below).

Yum.

Italian lunch with the folks

We took my dad and his girlfriend for a late breakfast in our neighbourhood. The place is Ponte Carlo, on Brückenstrasse (close to Jannowitzbrücke), a small Italian deli that looks so cute that we always go there hoping for something amazing. Some fresh coffee, some sandwhiches with nice cheese. Usually they aren't so prepared for our expectations, but the guys really make an effort. Once they made us a delicious breakfast out of nowhere. You never know what you're gonna get there. The employees are really cute italians who just run their business with a smile.




This time I was a bit bummed out with my risotto, 'cos they forgot to put the meat. But when I asked for it, it came back really fresh and crispy with fried beef, rosemary, and parmesan. You couldn't make me happier.
