SÙSÙ 素素: SZECHUAN CUISINE IN VEGAN — RECOMMENDED BY FREDERIK WEGNER

SÙSÙ 素素: SZECHUAN CUISINE IN VEGAN — RECOMMENDED BY FREDERIK WEGNER

I almost overlooked this little spot the first time I walked past, I’m glad I didn’t because that would have been a big mistake. If, like me, you love discovering new flavors in Asian cuisine, then SùSù is a must-visit. Since December 2024, this small, unpretentious eatery on Eberswalder Straße — with its casual snack-bar feel — has been serving up vegan Szechuan cuisine. The name Sù (素) means “simple” and “unpretentious”, and the menu reflects that, offering just four starters and six main courses. The focus here is pflavor. Vegan Szechuan isn’t new to Berlin, but SùSù features dishes I haven’t been able to enjoy in a long time as they’re rarely available in vegan versions. My personal highlights? The Mapo Tofu Rice Bowl and the cold noodles with cucumber, zucchini and a fiery peanut sauce (the five-chili warning on the menu is no joke!). By the way, Cài-Kitchen from Senefelder Platz is behind SùSù, and I love seeing them take a fresh approach with new dishes. One thing is certain, I won’t be walking past this place again. Whenever I have an appointment in Prenzlauer Berg, I make sure to plan a Szechuan stopover.

CREATIVITY MEETS MEDITATION: POTTERY AT STUDIO SOMI — RECOMMENDED BY SOPHIE DANIELS

CREATIVITY MEETS MEDITATION: POTTERY AT STUDIO SOMI — RECOMMENDED BY SOPHIE DANIELS

Is it just me or do you also find it difficult to wind down and relax? I had been looking for a way to switch off when I found pottery. When I’m working with my hands, shaping clay on the wheel at Studio Somi, I forget about everything else. This is partly due to the space that Somi, a Korean designer and ceramist, created in the Helmholtzkiez in the summer of 2024. The space itself, with its high ceilings and circular turntables, retains a calm, powerful atmosphere that reflects the meditative and creative work with clay. Somi is an incredibly patient teacher and manages to create a calm and welcoming atmosphere for learning in her hand-building and wheel-throwing workshops. In addition to the workshops, the studio offers a small but lovely store where Somi exhibits and sells her handmade ceramics. Her works are very special — you can see traces of handwork in every object. For me, Studio Somi is a place of retreat and well-being where I first discovered working with clay and continue to deepen my knowledge.

IT’S RUSTLING AT GOSORI: PAPETERIE & WORKSHOP SPACE IN KOLLWITZKIEZ — RECOMMENDED BY HENRIETTE ARTZ

Just a few minutes from Kollwitzplatz, see the brightly lit windowfront of the new Papeterie Gosori from afar. The name is Japanese for the sound of rustling paper — it’s fitting because here you will find everything that makes giving gifts and working at your desk more beautiful. Fine Chiyogami paper hangs next to selected gift ribbons, there are greeting cards for every occasion, washi tape in every color, and sustainable writing instruments that are refillable and long-lasting. Owner Friederike Goll, a trained bookbinder and communication designer, combines her passion for craftsmanship and design in her store. Gosori is not just a shop, but a workshop and meeting space. From spring 2025, get creative in workshops and learn the art of bookbinding. The exact dates are still to be planned, but in the meantime, sign up for the newsletter here for updates. With Gosori, Friederike has created a place characterized by her love of Japanese aesthetics and sustainability. The store radiates calm, and the linoleum-covered table surfaces give a cozy feeling and make you want to browse the shelves and learn bookbinding yourself. I’d love to stay a little longer, but I really have to get going, I need to tidy my desk.

HIGH ON HYALURON WITH MYHY — RECOMMENDED BY CAROLINE WOLF

HIGH ON HYALURON WITH MYHY — RECOMMENDED BY CAROLINE WOLF

Putting myself in the care of Tatjana Morawietz is one of the best things I’ve done for my skin. In Tatjana’s small MYHY studio on Viktoria-Luise-Platz, she transforms classic microdermabrasion into a unique experience, bringing summer back to your face and soul. Her secret? She produces 100% organic cosmetics with 100% natural, finely balanced ingredients. Tatjana knows every flower, every herb and every oil that’s in her products. As a child, she roamed the forests and meadows of her Upper Bavarian homeland with her grandmother, collecting medicinal herbs and flowers for ointments and tinctures. After studying philosophy and history, she moved to Buckow in Märkische Schweiz and combined her grandmother’s indigenous knowledge with her enthusiasm for modern biotechnological processes. As she massages her serums and oils into my skin after a gentle diamond cut, Tatjana tells me about the farmer who grows the roses for her, how she produces a high-dose hyaluronic acid in her laboratory, and why she swears by the Italian immortelle flower as an unbeatable skin protector. As she tells her stories, I smell summer, forest and sunshine — I could lie here for hours on end. When I get up and look at myself in the mirror, I can hardly believe there’s no make-up or filter on my face. With fresh, dewy skin and a load of summer in my heart, I’m now ready for the cold days in Berlin. The skincare products are hypoallergenic and can be purchased online. And for anyone who wants to get involved, Tatjana offers regular workshops teaching the effects of base oils and essential oils on skin. With her guidance, create your own facial serum individually tailored to your skin’s needs. The next workshop will take place on 05.02.2025 at Grimms-Garten in Mitte. You can register here.

THE POWER OF WEIGHTLESSNESS: DISCOVER AER STRETCHING FOR YOUR BODY AND MIND — RECOMMENDED BY VERENA SCHWARZ

THE POWER OF WEIGHTLESSNESS: DISCOVER AER STRETCHING FOR YOUR BODY AND MIND — RECOMMENDED BY VERENA SCHWARZ

After a yoga warm-up and guided breathwork, I take off, secured with cuffs on my wrists and ankles, and float above the mat (held by a monumental wooden beam construction). Wooden rods in my hands give my mind the impression of stability. Slowly I turn, tighten my arms and legs and release. Sometimes I feel the full weight of my body, sometimes I actively work against it. The benefits of the Aer Method are many and varied: mobilization, relaxation, strengthening, regeneration, stress reduction and pain relief… to name just a few. The basis of Aer Stretching is Pravilo, an ancient Slavic movement practice. The origin of the word “pravit” means to straighten something, and pravilo is indeed intended to align the body through gravity and stretching. Mother and son duo Tamara Shengeliya and Alexander Kromm brought the concept from Tbilisi, Georgia to Berlin, adding the latest scientific findings. Training at Aer is always 1:1 according to an individualized plan, led by specialized trainers, ideally once or twice a week. In keeping with the holistic approach practiced and taught here, you can attend grounding yoga classes with master instructor Alex Williams, which combine breathing exercises and deep relaxation. After my session, I feel relaxed, blockages have been released. I leave the studio feeling a little bit lighter.

For Verena Schwarz, movement is both passion and profession. As a certified Pilates instructor, she guides students through the strengthening and mobilizing practice. She incorporates influences from related disciplines into her classes to ensure movement is purposeful, but also fun and engaging. Verena currently teaches mainly at yogafürdich.
