Kombibad Gropiusstadt: A Bauhaus Swimming Oasis

Sommerbad 02 ©Elke A 940kb

Through Corona social distancing, I found a concrete swimming oasis. Berlin summer outdoor swimming is something I always look forward to. But, in these end times, flip-flopping up for a watery work out has seemed almost out of the question. Berliner Bäder Betrieb’s pandemic-friendly safety measures, including booking time slots and closing shower/changing facilities, are … Read more Kombibad Gropiusstadt: A Bauhaus Swimming Oasis

GORDON Restaurant & Records Serves Up Two Incredible Israeli Imports

GORDON-Restaurant-and-Records-Berlin-Loves-You-Fish-3

You’ll hear GORDON before you see it – the easy sounds of relaxed disco, chilled house or down-tempo techno. The music throws you off, because with the exposed brick and small tables, GORDON could be mistaken for a cosy-yet-refined bar – but serving alcohol and playing tunes is far from the primary concern here. Nestled … Read more GORDON Restaurant & Records Serves Up Two Incredible Israeli Imports

Author, playwright and musician Robert Farrar shares his favourite Corner of Berlin: Stammtisch. For him, “Life without the Stammtisch is possible – but meaningless!” I first met Robert Farrar in 2017. It was Wild at Heart, where he was performing as his musician alter-ego, Merlin Dietrich.

Gazzo Pizza Proves You Don’t Have To Be Italian To Make Incredible Pizza

DSC_5610

Gazzo Pizza is a neon darkroom operatic exploration into sourdough pizza. Gazzo is serious about two things: sourdough and locally-sourced produce. While they’re not exactly the first artisanal pizza restaurant in the Kiez, they join the ranks of Zola, Masaniello and Monella in the crusade of producing pizza with the same zeal in which wineries … Read more Gazzo Pizza Proves You Don’t Have To Be Italian To Make Incredible Pizza

IMG_1817

We went to try TwinPigs’ new nose-to-tail menu, but our meeting got off to an unexpected start. “I accidentally burnt his nightclub down”, TwinPigs owner Pär says whilst explaining how he and Robin, a fellow BLYer who’s joining me on this review, know each other. What follows is an anecdote to beat them all. The … Read more TwinPigs’ New Menu Goes Nose-to-Tail (and Doesn’t Skip the Brain)

Lexodus Brings Storytelling Back to Hip-Hop

IMG_0189

I first saw Lexodus at Marie Antonette. Back then the entire act consisted of Alex Linton spitting bars and pouring whiskey into the mouths of any eager revellers brave enough to come close to the stage. Today, the concept of Lexodus has changed entirely. No longer a solo project, it’s now full band with skilled … Read more Lexodus Brings Storytelling Back to Hip-Hop

Melt Your Worries And Your Hunger Pains At Paradiso

Taco13

I didn’t expect Paradiso at all. When invitations were extended I thought we’d be visiting just another restaurant, the kind with space for 100 and scores of stressed-out waiters. Instead, we’re brought to the tiny shop front of a building on Oppelner Strasse, a barebones room that at first glance is easy to miss. This … Read more Melt Your Worries And Your Hunger Pains At Paradiso
