To all the foodies out there: this one’s for you! Well, also if you’re looking to be entertained. The place we’re talking about is called Manifesto Market – a new food concept just landing in Berlin. Manifesto Market adds another layer to the idea of a single destination for multiple food vendors: a bespoke stage for music programs, stand-up comedy, talks and so much more. We know places like this in Amsterdam, Lisbon and, well, Prague – because that’s where Manifesto Market was born. And we’ve actually been there and seen the original concept. Martin, a native New Yorker, and Hollie from Taiwan founded Manifesto Market in the Czech capital in 2018 and turned a derelict piece of land into a vibrant and entertaining place to dine, meet and have fun. And here we are now: months later in Berlin in a two-level location with a bespoke stage area, a kidz box below and two dozen food vendors. The crucial part of the concept: there’s lots of local players who are opening sister locations here. You might have been to Shaniu’s House of Noodles and Malakeh and now you have them all in one place.
The Manifesto Market team has asked us to help them spread the word and so we’re more than happy to invite you to the opening next Thursday (09.02). Come by and explore the culinary art from various restaurants: the top level is purely dedicated to various flavors from Asia while the ground floor sees an international mix with a journey across the Middle East to South America. Then there’s mixology magic from four bars and beer tapped directly from an impressive Pilsner Urquell tank. Expect live music, two DJs, a beer tapping school led by award-winning tapsters and, for the first guests, a free drink. There’s lots going on – you’ve got to see it for yourself. If you can’t make the opening, Manifesto Market is open daily from lunchtime to dinner as well as for after-movie munching. So whenever you feel you’re craving something but can’t decide: meet at Manifesto Market (which btw is the largest food hall in Europe!) and let’s get inspired for your next meal.
