SINCE THE FIRST SUIT I’M HOOKED: FASHION FOR SALTY WALRUS PEOPLE — RECOMMENDED BY DAVE MURRIN

Janne Haland is an independent fashion studio with Danish and German roots based in Kreuzkölln. With almost a decade of experience, Janne Haland designs fabric patterns and illustrations — combining pop culture with traditional costume design. Improvising with small amounts of deadstock fabric she creates one-of-a-kind pieces. Her focuses are crafts and intuitive problem-solving for the human body. You won’t find gender or age limitations here. All those who enjoy color and appreciate quality craftsmanship are invited to sit down with Janne and bounce ideas off her to create a finished product that is unique to you. The quality and attention to detail Janne channels into each item is something I’ve never experienced before. Every piece tells a different and fantastic story that allows the wearer to become a part of Janne Haland’s unique world. It’s what keeps me coming back for more. Visit the online shop or knock on her studio door to travel down the rabbit hole and into the remarkable world of Janne Haland.

Dave Murrin is a DJ/producer from Dublin and co-owner of record label “Púca Sounds”. He also serves you (with love and passion) natural wines and the best negronis in town at Bar Sway.

SHOW ME YOUR (BOOKIE) BOOKSHELF AND I’LL TELL YOU WHO YOU ARE

SHOW ME YOUR (BOOKIE) BOOKSHELF AND I’LL TELL YOU WHO YOU ARE

Allegedly, fewer and fewer people are reading these days. But Lukas and Marie Hoffmann tend to disagree. That’s why they started an Instagram account in 2021 and launched the first version of the Bookie app in August 2022. Bookie is an app that makes reading more social, facilitates book exchanges and offers an online alternative to traditional in-person book clubs. Bookie was established after Lukas and Marie asked themselves: what is the book market missing? Why do so many people believe literature isn’t for them? And, how can we change this way of thinking? The answer was Bookie — an accessible and inclusive reading community. It’s a virtual space where authors, creators, publishers and book lovers can come together. A space where it’s possible to exchange ideas, inspire each other to read (more) and discover excellent books that are impossible to put down. This is all thanks to the Bookie reading lists compiled from the recommendations of readers who are no strangers to the literary world. From Anne Sauer to Christoph Amend (a journalist), many share their favorite books on Bookie.

Coco Meurer opened her bookstore, literaturensohn, on Brunnenstraße in Berlin Mitte, in September 2023. The art director and marketing specialist designs CIs, communication strategies and campaigns for publishers and other companies.

THE NEW THE MAP GALLERY OPENS WITH THE EXHIBITION “MELANCHOLIA” — RECOMMENDED BY ANAÏS RÖSCHKE

THE NEW THE MAP GALLERY OPENS WITH THE EXHIBITION “MELANCHOLIA” — RECOMMENDED BY ANAÏS RÖSCHKE

We’ve waited a long time for the opening of The Map Gallery, and now the moment has finally arrived. Why? It’s simple: when Mon Muellerschoen, Andrea von Goetz, and Peter Buchberger join forces, surprises are bound to happen. Exciting contemporary art pieces will now grace the walls between design masterpieces on Linienstraße. Renowned artists like Elisa Breyer, Philipp Fürhofer, Kura Kazunori, Magda Kracewicz, Anton Peitersen, Maria von Thurn und Taxis, Vincent Vandaele, Jorinde Voigt, and Björn Wallbaum Weltbrandt are among those featured. The inaugural exhibition brings together works exploring the theme of melancholy. Why melancholy in January? In Berlin? A time when the sun hides behind a gray sky, and cold days flood our insides with intensity, albeit brief, like a tsunami. What would the world be without darkness, doubt, and sadness? Artists uniquely transform these emotions into energy, creativity, and glimpses of the future. Drop by, let yourself be surprised, and discover works, objects, and furniture capable of embracing darkness throughout the year.

Anaïs Röschke, with a background in the art world, oversees the program at Laufen Space Berlin and executes various formats for the architecture and construction industry through her agency, The Art of Business.

A 5-YEAR JOURNEY OF SIPPING DELICACIES: INSIDE BERLIN’S VELVET AND ITS SEASONAL SPECTACLE — RECOMMENDED BY YOLANDA EVANS

A 5-YEAR JOURNEY OF SIPPING DELICACIES: INSIDE BERLIN’S VELVET AND ITS SEASONAL SPECTACLE — RECOMMENDED BY YOLANDA EVANS

At Velvet, foraged plants, herbs, and flowers have a long shelf-life. This cocktail bar serves complex, yet delicate libations made from seasonal vegetables, fruit, and herbs found around the German capital. Although not new to the bar scene, a close-knit team dedicated to the craft operates this 6-year-old dimly lit watering hole with 55 seats. Bartender Ruben Neideck, Sarah Swantje Fischer, Alice Von Vincent, Julia Raschia and Inan Öztürk meet every Tuesday for a lab day lasting three to four hours, in which they distill, ferment, and infuses among other thing for future cocktail-making. While some components, like syrups, are derived from fairly straightforward infusions, the staff also likes to centrifuge fruit juices in summer and use the clarified (and more stable) liquid to make cordials or shrubs to last through winter. And speaking of the menu, it’s a revolving door of seasonal cocktails with one new cocktail added each week so that the drink you loved one day might be gone on your next visit. So, stop by often so that you don’t miss out on any of the fabulous drinks the team might be cooking up in the lab.

LOUMI: THE NEW CULINARY ESCAPE IN KREUZBERG — RECOMMENDED BY SANDRA

LOUMI: THE NEW CULINARY ESCAPE IN KREUZBERG — RECOMMENDED BY SANDRA

Loumi is all about spectacular flavors, wow-worthy ingredients, and a stunningly relaxed atmosphere. Mical and Karl-Louis, the two friends and makers behind Loumi, were famous for their iconic private dining events. Now (lucky us) they just opened their first ever restaurant! The beautifully designed space boasts only 14 seats with the chefs dishing out a single 7-course tasting menu. If you manage to nab a spot, you’ll discover intriguing bites such as tiny razor clam tacos, and menu stunners made with zesty yuzu, amazake, and sauces and broths meticulously cooked. Expect a seafood-heavy line-up, and indulge in hand-dived scallops from Norway, and fish coming straight from Brittany. Or get ready to sink your teeth in marbled dairy cow filet, and locally farmed produce shifting with the season. I don’t want to ruin the surprise, but let’s just say it’s not your typical fine dining experience. It’s all about unpretentious vibes, a cool playlist, and food that makes your head spin. Their kitchen counter is a prime spot for drinks with a view of the chefs. Walk in, grab a Negroni, and soak up the ambiance and buzz! PS No one leaves hungry! There’s also a delightful bar snack menu.

Sandra (Berlin.Gal.Eats) loves exploring eateries, chatting with chefs, farmers & makers. Before Berlin she lived a culinary nomad’s life, eating her way through Europe, the US and Asia.
