BARINI – ITALIAN-TURKISH CROSSOVER

BARINI – ITALIAN-TURKISH CROSSOVER

Last week I was complaining about the lack of cafés in Neukölln beyond Weichselstrasse, but here’s a new and welcome addition: Barini. Located in the heart of lovely Rixdorf, this minimalist café is a friendly place from morning till evening. The two owners are of Turkish and Italian decent and that’s how the menu is composed too: you’ll find çay (Turkish tea) next to cappucino, flatbreads to paninis and ingredients like sucuk and roasted peppers next to risotto and polenta. The food is freshly and nicely prepared, the service is relaxed and friendly, there’s pleasant music inside and on nice days their outdoor dining space offers sunny spots. So there’s plenty of reasons to return to Barini for me, which has already become one of my favorite Neukölln places. By the way, there will be an opening celebration this Saturday with music, food and surprises.

Barini, Böhmische Str. 46, 12055 Berlin-Neukölln; map

Opening party, Sat 3.9., opening hours: Mon-Fri from 9h, Sat-Sun from 10h; kitchen closes during the week at 21.30h and on the weekends at 22.30h

YOGA & HEALING ART THE KOREAN WAY

YOGA & HEALING ART THE KOREAN WAY

Hena and Manuel Middendorf are the most gracious people you can possibly imagine. They’re always in a good mood and their positive spirit is contagious. Once you enter their Neukölln-premise you can forget about the hectic life outside. The “Tao Yoga” they teach is very different from the classic Indian yoga; instead of the “downward facing dog” you practice the “sleeping tiger” (trial lessons by appointment only). Besides that the duo offers healing sessions based on Korean healing massage and remedies such as Moxa – according to your personal condition – I’ve tried it and can highly recommend it. Additionally the couple has just opened their center in Blankenfelde last weekend. The lovely little house, surrounded by forest, serves as a workshop and retreat, sleeps six people, comes with a Asian-style garden and is a true oasis just outside of Berlin. You can email them for more info.

ALEXANDER SCHIERL VISITS DR.ADOLF KLENK

ALEXANDER SCHIERL VISITS DR.ADOLF KLENK

Whether you have a disposition to going bald cannot be predicted by visiting Wahl-O-Mat (A German website to help choose your political party) as you would for the upcoming election. Instead, the thin haired gentlemen of today visit Doctor Adolf Klenk‘s website, whose name sounds nastier than he really is, and confide him for their future concerns. Speaking with a slight Swabian accent, he told me that from age 43 onward there will be no need for me to comb but rather polish. So there are few more years to go for my hair and for my worries over of the remaining locks being robbed of their joie de vivre. My answer: Brisk Frisiercreme Super. “Super” is anything but exaggerated – if James Bond would have been an employee of Federal Intelligence Service of Germany, he would have used this product (clip/clip). However, after the discontinuation of “Fit”, “Flott” and “Adrett”, the red tube is the last one of its kind to maintain its position on drugstore shelves. But how much longer? Manufactum has already added this to their museum shop… the outlook is not very bright.

“J’AIME” – THE PREMIERE PARTY

“J’AIME” – THE PREMIERE PARTY

Tonight you may listen, watch and dance at the premiere of a new party series called “J’aime” dedicated to female vocalists and DJs at Tausend. Tonight’s fine program features music by Noblesse Oblige live and most importantly Chinawoman live on stage (and more). Currently on my iPod there are two awesome tracks by this Berlin-based Canadian singer on heavy rotation. One is “God Bless My Socially Retarded Friends” and the other, of course, is “Party Girl”. Rumor says that Chinawoman will be on stage early… From now on this party series will take place every first Thursday of the month.
