August isn’t over yet, so why not enjoy those summer moments while you still can? For some inspo, check out our event picks for this weekend and next – featuring a few of the finer things in life. First up: some seafood decadence at the cozy Nomi Weinbar with Lobster Rolls & Day Drinking (24.–25.08.2024). Chicken burger connoisseurs Maximilian and Carlo from the popular Birds in the Kitchen pop-up series are taking over the Kreuzberg bar to serve up shrimp and lobster rolls and mac and cheese, paired with Nomi’s well-curated wine selection. Skipping ahead to Sunday (25.08.): trade your regular coffee haunt for the Klub Maison event space in Wedding where you can catch the Two Gather Coffee Pop-Up. Sub-zero coffee fans Long and Son will be brewing cold drip coffee, coffee sodas and Cà Phê Sữa Đá, a Vietnamese iced coffee made with condensed milk. Finally, on to next weekend: if you fancy swapping the Berlin summer hustle for some countryside culture, Kalit Festival (31.08.–01.09.) at Gutshaus Friedenfelde is just the ticket.
The imposing manor house (which you can stay at) is the venue for a self-initiated Kalit music weekend that combines late baroque and 18th century Berlin classicism with contemporary compositions. Our highlight: the reading with Sophie Rois, in which she performs fairy tales by Brentano and Bettina von Arnim under the title “Lämmerfrass & Hasenschreck”. Music aside, the event is a nice excuse to escape the city and make the most of the dwindling summer days. Go on, treat yourself…
