A good friend from Brussels, was in town this weekend so we went out for dinner on Saturday. I took her to DUDU in Torstraße. It’s one of my favorite places: unpretentious atmosphere, simple and stylish design and most importantly food to die for – at very reasonable prices! I’m sure I could hear angels sing while eating the avocado tempura roll with salmon.
After DUDU we stopped by Lining. Been coming there since I moved to Berlin. Another “institution” where you always bump into the usual suspects. Was happily surprised to see Evan behind the booth. Hadn’t seen him in a looong time.
I once spoke with one of the Lining guys about how a place need a trademark…a USP. Something that makes people keep coming back once the novelty value has worn off. So I asked what Linings USP was. “hmm…loud music and strong drinks” was Ouni’s reply. Maybe not a unique USP but definately true!
Nam, one of the owners from Dudu, had a halloween date later that night as you can tell. Tight!
Evan, fresh back from a stay in N.Y, was in control of half of the Lining USP – the loud music
