Since 2006, Quattro Gastronomia Italiana has been serving up the authentic tastes of Northern Italy at its choice location on pedestrian-friendly Lincoln Road. Its umbrella shaded exterior dining areas stand out at this end of the street near busy Washington Avenue.

Madonna Mania at 2Rooms

Warning: strpos() [function.strpos]: Offset not contained in string. in /var/www/blog/wp-content/themes/ISOMagazine/functions.php on line 317

Munich has a very open Gay scene with one part of the city completely dedicated to gay clubs, bars and “special interest” stores. Walk into any bar and you’ll be greeted with a swank crowd dressed to the 9s, sipping on delish cocktails and dancing to great music. I must say that gay clubs really do have the best music to dance to. So what is one of my favorite places to go with all my favorite men? MADONNA MANIA at 2Rooms Club and Lounge, hands down. This exclusive bar’s...

Although April weather may be rather unpredictable, for example in the past 3 days we’ve had gorgeous and warm sunny weather, rain and snow, it is the time when Munich’s infamous beer gardens are shaking off those winter blues and opening their doors, as well as beer taps, to the public. If you find yourself in Munich on a sunny day, whether spring or summer, head on over to one of the more famous beer gardens: Die Chinesische Turm or in English, The Chinese Tower. With the English...

We admit we came to dine at Ortanique on the Mile for a little culinary remembrance of Jamaica, and here we found it in fine style. What you will also find in the dining experience here is both a respect for the traditions of Caribbean cooking along with an adventurous spirit in creating some fine fusions between the ingredients and recipes of the islands with staples and cooking styles from other points around the globe. dining, located right along one of the main thoroughfares of Coral Gables. ...

If you’re looking for a place where young professionals and university students stop to grab a bite to eat, look no further than Café an der Uni. Once the rec room for philosophy students, Café on der Uni kept its original exposed brick walls and built in book shelves stocked with literature and opened their doors to hungry students. With an outdoor terrace, during the warmer seasons you’ll find students enjoying a beer after class and relaxing in the sun. During the colder seasons,...

Party Like a German

Warning: strpos() [function.strpos]: Offset not contained in string. in /var/www/blog/wp-content/themes/ISOMagazine/functions.php on line 317

Almost all sterotypes of young Germans include a love for really bad techno music. While for some this is true, German partying is moreso marked by their ability to party until the sun comes up the following day. We’re not talking “party til dawn”, we’re talking ”It’s 8am and I need some breakfast”. In some counties, such as America, this would mean that a group of people are at someone’s house, having a good time. In Germany, Müncheners are...

Cafe Jasmin

We all know that no matter what country you’re in, or whichever city you visit, a Starbucks will look like a Starbucks. The smells, music and decor will all be the same, which since when isn’t a little consistency not appreciated? But, if you’re looking to get away from that consistency, I most definitely suggest Café Jasmin. Don’t worry, you won’t have to bring your bongo drums or beret to come into this comfortable spot, with its cream colored couches, marbled counters and tassled curtains. Stepping...

Nektar

Warning: strpos() [function.strpos]: Offset not contained in string. in /var/www/blog/wp-content/themes/ISOMagazine/functions.php on line 317

For the ultra-urban and chic dining experience, may I suggest: Nektar. So in demand, dinner reservations are made weeks in advance because it’s an experience worth all the bucks you’re going to spend. Walking down the stairs into the restaurant, you walk into a rather “normal” looking bar. It’s wooden floors and tables are dotted with a few Asian influences such as paper lanterns and red colored seating. As you are directed to the coat check in area by your dressed-up hostess...

Havana Club Bar– because when is Cuba not a good idea?

Warning: strpos() [function.strpos]: Offset not contained in string. in /var/www/blog/wp-content/themes/ISOMagazine/functions.php on line 317

Mojitos, Latin American Punch, killer Long Island Iced Teas and many more brightly colored, frothy, smooth, iced, clear drinks are only some of the perks of going to Havana– Havana Club Bar, that is. Slightly hidden from plain sight, the HCB is a great place to get some drinks, hang out with friends and relax. With high tables, benches and various other seating arrangements, HCB’s darkened mood and good tunes allow for a space that is comfortable for a few drinks while mixing with locals...

Dive into the Schwabinger 7

Warning: strpos() [function.strpos]: Offset not contained in string. in /var/www/blog/wp-content/themes/ISOMagazine/functions.php on line 317

There’s always that place. You know what I’m talking about, it’s a complete hole where hundreds of drinkers have carved their names into the walls and it would be very possible to catch something simply by stepping into the bathroom. You can’t explain it, but you love it. Maybe because it’s hidden, or maybe because it’s so wonderfully under any typical standards that normal bars like to uphold. Everyone has that place. Mine, as well as the majority of my friends,...

Once you’ve had your fill of dancing on tables while trying not to lose your balance after the multiple liters of beer you’ve consumed and singing “Hey Baby” from the Dirty Dancing soundtrack (you know, when they’re dancing on that log in the woods…as everyone does), it’s time to have some delish, modern Bavarian food. Wirtshaus Zur Brezen is one of my ab fab Bavarian restaurants, perfect for long weekend lunches or long early dinners. Whenever my boyfriend and I go to Wirtshaus,...

Put down your wienerwurßt and maß of beer because we’re going out. Hidden in a maze of shops near the Odeonsplatz called the Fünf Höfe stands Vapianos, one of my personal favorite “let’s go out and eat some food at a chic spot but not cry when we get the bill&lrquo; type of place. Vapianos is a great pizza, pasta, salad bar that is frequented by the stylish residents of the Maxvorstadt area. Living only a few blocks away from Vapianos, I eat there pretty frequently. So, if you see me...

An absolute must of any visitor to Munich is the legendary Hofbräuhaus. Famous for its historical location and trachten (traditional Bavarian wear) clad staff who keep the beer flowing, the Hofbraühaus is where the tradition of Bavarian beer drinking is alive every day of the year. The large beer hall can seat hundreds with its long wooden tables and benches. Although pinned as a tourist attraction, one can see many locals who frequent the beer hall dressed in their best dirndls and lederhosen...
