WEISSE ROSE MEMORIAL
These bronze pamphlets remember a remarkable group of Germans who fearlessly opposed the Nazis in the very center of their power. There are a number of memorials to the White Rose scattered throughout Munich, though the most powerful reminder of their deeds can be found embedded in the cobblestone pavement in front of the university building where the founding members were originally arrested.

THE STOREY AT OBERPOLLINGER
Oberpollinger has recently tried to rejuvenate their mildly antiquated shop in the city center by adding a younger more streetish selection in their basement. This concept is titled “The Storey” (obviously borrowed from Berlin’s Soho House shop) and offers a mix of relevant brands for males and females, footwear and apparel. One of only a few destinations worth visiting on Munich’s pedestrian shopping mile, which is actually the busiest in Germany but also tends to attract all those shops you’ll find everywhere else too.

JAMES T. HUNT BAR
James T. Hunt bar is located in Munich’s up-and-coming university district, Maxvorstadt. The spot is our very own interpretation of a classic American cocktail bar. We serve quality liquor and wood-oven pizza – and keep a fine selection of vinyls just in case our guests feel like playing some records. The place gets pretty packed after 10 pm. Grabbing a sun-downer or aperitif on the bar’s trottoir in the early evening is also a great idea.

NEIGHBORHOOD
The Flushing Meadows Hotel & Bar is located in Munich‘s vibrant Glockenbach district, which roughly translates to „bell‘s creek“, after the small creek that ran thru the neighborhood. As you can image the „bell“ part alludes to a former bells manufacturer, who used to be located just by the creek outside of Munich‘s city walls near Sendlinger Tor over 500 years ago. The Glockenbach area has undergone various developments since: from exile-site for plague patients … to industrial quarter … to red-light district … to skid row … to gay hot-spot. These days, the Glockenbach quarter is known to be especially „happening“, thanks to a large variety of boutiques and bars as well as the quarter‘s easy-going vibe. But we‘ll let you be the judge of that.
BARBER HOUSE
Beautiful barber shop located right down the street. Need a hair cut, want a professional shave or treatments of various kinds? This top-shelf barbier should do the trick. If you are a male that is.

PESCHERIA
Great place for fish just next to Sendlinger Tor. Pick the fish of your choice from the display-cabinet or go with the daily menu. Probably not the cheapest place of all – but the again: quality has its price.

HAY
Danish design, furniture and gimmicks. You know what they say about the Danes. Maybe a good spot to find a little present to bring back home.

BRASSERIE COLETTE
French restaurant by star cook Tim Raue (have you seen his episode of Chef’s Table?). Not the cheapest place we’ve ever been to – but offers very agreeable vibe alongside an elevated brasserie menu. Fun fact: Colette was conceived as part of the retirement home – and cooks meals for the seniors who have settled into the same building.

MAN VS. MACHINE
Independent coffee roaster, located right around the corner. These guys are coffee nerds in the best sense of the term. Supplied by some of the most prolific green (raw) coffee importers and farms around the world, Man vs. Machine focuses solely on specialty grade Arabica coffee (above 85 pts.). From heyish to sweet to fruity to chocolaty. From undrinkable to highly desirable. If you agree that coffee is a science and passion, look out for the alligator logo, when turning left onto Müllerstrasse.
