BERLINLOVESYOU-yourhomeiswhereyou’rehappy-2

Rathaus Neukölln grit. A former butcher shop, with its rusting, naked hooks still hanging, its floors slanted for slit necks, pouring blood. And a ragtag troupe of damaged and demented women, turning doe eyes to a charismatic, Jesus-like figure–like many of us, searching for somewhere, anywhere to “fit in.” This is: YOUR HOME IS WHERE … Read more The Cult Beckons From A Former Butcher Shop.

I’ve a less conventional way for you to get that warm, fuzzy, Christmassy feeling inside you (and still have your Glühwein fix).

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

It’s really dark. Has anyone else noticed? Look outside now. See? And I’ve still a few hours of work to do before I’m done for the day.

Us Berliners live a seemingly perpetual youth: dancing and dosing and recklessly adventuring through the night. “Maybe I’ll settle down someday,” is the actual hurrah of a 40-something guy we’ve all met on the U8. (Those that went home with said 40-something guy do maintain regrets.) But finding noble partners with whom to stride off … Read more Stop Swiping.

To the rest, you know what I mean. They have names like Eve, Emma and Casper and they all want to sleep … Read more Meet and Quickly Sleep with Bruno, the Berlin Way to Mattress Shop (Without Regrets)

We hate to bother you under your five-blanket-layers and steaming Vitamin D lamp, but between now’s dismal blockage of grey clouds and next year’s assured summer (if Trump doesn’t burn down the planet before then), there are a few weeks of twinkling, holiday hope.
