Memories and hints of a travelling IT professional.
Sometimes you might be missing home when you’re away. It does not happen to me, but I fully understand. At Podgorica, Montenegro Germans have the chance to cure that – because of the nice hotel, bar and restaurant called ‘Marienplatz‘ (named after that famous place at München, Germany). It is located close to the Trg Republike.

The Sky Tower is my most favorite place for watching sundown and having a drink at Tirana, Albania. It is a skyscraper at the city quarter Blloku and located close to the Rinia park and the river Lana. You can easily find it as it has a rotating restaurant on top that turns 360 degrees within an hour. If you want to dine there you should reserve in advance, but there is also a reservation-free bar on the top level.

It is just an ordinary burger restaurant at Tiranas nightlife zone Blloku: Goody’s Burger House – but it is a very easy way to stop your hunger and it can be found without any problem at the entrance of the city quarter when you follow the road Bulevardi Dëshmorët e Kombit from the city center to the south.

South of Kassel at a town called Fuldabrück, Germany you can find a nice restaurant next to river Fulda – the Fährmann (ferryman). Since the summer of 2018 it has new owners and a new fresh concept, therefore it was time for a visit. They have a guest room on two levels, a wonderful outdoor terrace and in summer they also serve the cyclists and hikers passing by along the river from a bar (called ‘Fullebude‘) outside. It’s now a very modern yet cozy place and worth a visit.

The Mercato Metropolitano is a wonderful food court at Elephant & Castle, London. You can sit inside or outside and get drinks and food from numerous small shops. From burgers via Spätzle and burritos to gyoza. Everything that your heart might desire – and as a surplus they claim to be sustainable.

If you’re bored by the standard junk food of the big burger chains you might give the Marivos Burger-Lounge at Kassel, Germany a try. It is located inside an old gas station from the 1950s at the Kohlenstraße near Bahnhof Wilhelmshöhe. Two brothers and a friend opened the burger restaurant because they knew from bigger cities that buns, patties and fries can be much better when they are home-made.

The Burgernah at the city quarter Linden-Nord of Hannover, Germany is a vegan burger restaurant with a very nice style and atmosphere. It is located at the Offensteinstraße, has limited seats and is neither a fast-food restaurant nor a high-class restaurant – it is rather a superior quality eatery.

If you need a good meal or a drink in the evening, the Blaues Haus might be a good option for you. It is easy to find as nomen est omen: the house is coloured in blue and it is located in the Kreuzstraße at the city center of Münster in Westfalen, Germany which is busy at night and full of nice places. It was opened in 1970 as a hippie bar.

Getting delicious Indian food at Hann. Münden, Germany is quite an issue. During the last years there was a very good restaurant called Bollywood Palace that set the bar pretty high – but is now closed again. Then there is an Italian restaurant (the Rialto) that offers some Indian dishes. One restaurant that we’ve simply not seen before is the Taste of India in the Lange Straße, the pedestrian zone.

Well, yes: the ALEX at Kassel, Germany is only a local branch of a coffee bar and restaurant chain. But it has a very good location as you will find it in the pedestrian zone directly next to the Friedrichsplatz which is full of hustle and bustle – even outside of documenta times.
