How often do you have the can’t-fail classics at home? Too often? At our house, too. So, time for a fresh take and a little inspiration for an Instagrammable dinner at home. This Saturday (16.09.2023), however, the handsome eatery is the site of a pop-up event: In the Own Bar, the focus will be on drinks and flying food creations from exciting food players. Herrlich Dining – to drop a name – is among them. Fee and Hannah manage to arrange plate dishes into small artworks. And they don’t just look good, they taste great – we know what we’re talking about, because we’ve already tasted them. Speaking of which, all guests are invited to taste – with the concept that it doesn’t always have to cost the earth to create special dishes. And that’s the real hook of the Own pop-up bar. Behind it all is quite simple: a discounter. Or better, the inventor of the discount called Aldi Nord.

They have more and more organic food on offer and they want to make this known – in a new way, with the motto “Good for everyone.” And hence the bar evening with young food talents, so that you also think: I want to taste that again – and I can do that myself! In addition to Herrlich Dining, Anja, Martin and Daniel are also taking part. These four “food-fluencers” are behind the two-by-three-course premium snack menus that will fly by. They’ll be accompanied by drinks from well-known bartenders. And because it all sounds so delightful and delicious, the event is already sold out. But we have last tickets and you have the chance to win them! Write us at win@ceecee.cc and with a little luck you’ll be in. And then it’s time to grab the appetizer of your choice – and take the inspiration home to keep in mind for your next shopping trip. Nothing stands in the way of a soiree in your home with impressive snacks and good drinks.

Especially since the release of our shared Neighborhood Map, we hope they’re on your radar: The Swiss running brand On. Their experimentation on the first prototype began with bits of garden hose on shoes’ outsoles – and ever since, it’s hard to imagine the running community without it. For the launch of the new apparel collection, the On team has teamed up with Isla Coffee to co-host a pop-up showroom (13.-17.09.2023). With the theme “From Head to Toe,” you can browse through the new collection and virtually put together a complete running look. During the pop-up, however, the focus will be on one thing above all: meeting the community. Whether you’re a sports, coffee, culture or music fanatic, On is offering you the full program this week. Tomorrow night (14.09) at 18h is “Community Night” with tunes from Krubally and Halunki. From Thursday to Sunday (14.-17.09.) you can put your new outfit to the test: Morning Run & Coffee in the early morning or the “Sunday 10k Run” – they’re the perfect opportunity to get to know the running community in Berlin. If you’re not sure yet and maybe running just isn’t your thing, you should stop by Soukou’s EP release party on Friday (15.09.) at 18h – afterparty and cool drinks included!
