Soso, SoHo?

March 10th, 2010

Soso in German is something like “I see” or “Really?” and yes, it’s been common knowledge for a while that the English private members club concept SOHO House has arrived in Berlin.

Though I have my doubts if a concept like Soho House will succeed in Berlin, I believe it can be done with the right approach. Got my membership invitation, will I see you in May?

Also, looking forward to see the results of the renovation of the more than eighty year old department store at Torstraße/Prenzlauer Allee! Here are some photos from the premises in London and New York.

“Beisammen im Bad”

March 9th, 2010

With Bäder still fresh in memory, why not mention the concert at Stadtbad Wedding on Thursday.

The 12-people Icelandic string ensemble, Skark, will perform in an installation by French artist Nicolas Dusollier while Austrian artist Ingrid Hora presents a video exhibition.

Sounds very multidisciplinary. Doors open at 21:00. €4,00 entrance.

While we wait for open water

March 8th, 2010

I’m not really a big fan of indoor swimming pools but when the venue is as beautiful as Stadtbad Neukölln, it’s a different story. The venue opened again in March 2009 after 10 months of renovation.

Besides the two pools there is a herbal sauna, a steam bath, a Finnish sauna, sun showers and what have we not. Plus they offer massages.

There are several Bäder in Berlin that are worth a visit. More info here (German).

Wet water, water wet

March 7th, 2010

Totally nonsense titel, just liked the ring of it.
After seeing this video, I hope somebody will organise a water fight here in Berlin – as soon as the weather allows it.

Credits to LUKE for bringing it to my attention.

Torstraße treasure

March 3rd, 2010

If you appreciate unpretentious, simple, charming little restaurants with an uneven price/quality relationship (as in the food is just that good) you will love Themroc!

Had dinner there on Sunday and fell in love. Super “tranquille” (thought this would be the right word to describe the atmosphere since the owners are French) and still professionel and competent.

The kitchen is open from 19:00 till orders stop coming in and the daily changing menu is displayed on a board outside. Just one starter/main/desert a day. Simple is better!
