Max Brown Hotels have recently opened a new location in Vienna and with that a new restaurant as well. Of course, after hearing tons of comments and positive reviews, I knew I had to check it out for myself and share with you my experience there. We spontaneously decided to pay the restaurant a visit on a Thursday night without a reservation, and I have to be honest here, this was quite a daring decision.
I decided it was time for something different today (also since this is the 100th post on my blog). You probably know that my profile is not full of pictures of me and I like to keep my private life … you know, private. But then again I take you on my trips, my weekly brunches and share with you my favorite jams, books and everything I find exciting. So I guess, it was time to let you know a little bit more about me with 20 random facts that you may or may not know about me.
If you have followed the blog, you know I am a sucker for high culture: opera, classical music, art, theater, name it, I’m all in for it. As much so, that in the past few years I have studied art history at the University of Vienna next to my other studies and I think this is one of the best places to do so. As a diligent student, I have an annual pass for the Kunsthistorisches Museum and you can find me strolling around the rooms, admiring my favorite Caravaggio and Raphael every other Sunday when I can spare an hour or two.
So last week I was telling you all about my trip to Milan, Italy and the amazing time I had while I was there. This week the story time continues with another portion of Italy and what I did there, so read on to know more about it.
Bella Italia, there is just something about you! Maybe it’s your romantic streets, maybe it’s the smell of pizza wherever you go, the sip of strong espresso in the morning or that cute guy who smiled at you when you passed by, I really can’t tell. I just know that ever since my short trip to Milan last week, I definitely want to go back soon! I know this isn’t a post about Vienna, but bear with me!
If you’ve ever taken a stroll around Stephansplatz, you probably already know the place which I’m talking about. You should’ve noticed the modern building, right in the center of the square with a mirror-like surface, housing the Do&Co hotel, also known as one of the most luxurious places in Vienna. This place also has one of the best views towards the St. Stephen’s cathedral possible so even that is a good enough reason to pay it a visit.
A typical day in my life would include waking up and turning on the coffee maker. A breakfast would be concluded by a piece of toast with something on top and off to uni or work we go. Yet, there are those special days when I have nowhere to rush to and then, my friends, I go for a brunch with my close ones.
Brunching deserves its own post, so someday I will write about that on the blog too. However, today we are heading for one specific place and manily Café Central. One of the “institutions” when it comes to coffee culture in Vienna and a favorite place to many authors and artists throught the past hundred years. Whenever you think of a traditional coffee house around the city, this would be it. So without further adew let’s get to it.
The time when you cuddle in bed with a hot chocolate and cookies to nibble on is coming. Yes, summer is great but you must admit that fall has its charms as well. Golden leaves, romantic strolls, splashing in the puddles, wearing oversized snuggly jumpers … I bet I put you in the mood already. The first rainy days are here already, you can’t go out without a coat on and you know what? You can totally embrace it … also by not going out. Today I’m sharing with you my top-picks when it comes to staying in and binge-watching series or just a good old movie.
Read moreThe hardest part is the beginning, isn’t it? Once you start getting the hang of things, the worst is over. Yet, sometimes it takes us a bit of a detour to get there. With the beginning of the new semester, I thought I might write somehting up on the topic for all of you who are freshers, new to the university life or still struggling to find your way around here.
Everyone has been raving about this product for what seems ages now and of course, I was convinced to give it a go as well. As I have been struggling with skin issues for the past ten years, I am always open for new products and treatments. Yet, promises are not always met and sometimes your skin just doesn’t agree with what you’re feeding it.
