If you happen to be in London these days I suggest you check this shop. They stock some really nice products and their own brand has some really nice pieces.

"Garbstore aspires to be and draws its influence from what can be coined unfamiliar Vintage.We aim to create familiar garments, not outlandish pieces, garments with a foot in the past and look to the future, nodding at a couple of things along the way.Pieces have been re-imagined and made ’Historically new‘We aim to be free from image or cultural reference. Focusing on product and quality Garbstore provides an opportunity free from contextual image."

I came across this restaurant on the wallpaper blog. Since I traveled in vietnam and like the country and the food a lot I'm very curious about this place.
They serve Hue cuisine, which is among the best. So if you happen to be in Berlin with no idea where ti dine, why not try Chi Sing. I certainly will when I'm in Berlin again.

"Huê, a gourmet art indigenous to Vietnam, plays dexterously with the balance between colour, texture and flavour. Consequently, Chi Sing’s array of gastronomic offerings is fresh, light and intricately put together. On top of this, all dishes are also entirely MSG free – trust us, your taste buds will thank you later. "

Thursday we had dinner at Freemans. A trendy but cosy Restaurant on Lower Eastside. The Restaurants is specialized in seasonal rustic american cuisine.  The menu features wild game, sustainable seafood, and produce from local new york state farms. Freemans is also known for their cocktails.
We had a lovely artichoke dip and very fresh salds as starters. For main course we had a lovely grilled trout.
If you have something to discuss don't go there - it's very loud ;-)
