lets go to the Biergarten :: Wintergarten

I was at the Staatbibliotek (library) on a Friday afternoon in late June when I got a hankering for a beer. The nearest Biergarten was probably at the Chinese Tower but I didn’t want to hit that well-weathered spot. After a call with Alex, we decided to walk from the library to the Wintergarten in Schwabing.

The 27 Tram drives right by this former milk shack and quaint neighborhood Biergarten. wintergarden6012_smIt is located next to the Elisabethmarkt, which is a small grocers’ market that bursts with activity from 9am to 2pm. The Wintergarten serves Augustiner beer (yoohoo) and cooks up the standard Bavarian fair, i.e., Obazda, Weisswurst before noon, Schnitzel, etc… The atmosphere was lively with plenty of friendly faces, many of whom were dancing. I guess not very out-of-the-ordinary for 7pm. There is a small park for children to play in the back and the service was pleasantly attentive. My only complaint would be the size of the Käsespätzle. It was just a wee bit on the wee bit side.

Of course I was stealing from sharing with Alex so I can understand how I could perceive that we got gypped for our 7.50 Euro. It’s a lovely place if you are in the neighborhood and the weather is cooperative (which it hasn’t been lately, puh). A huge plus for me is the view of some quality wall graffiti from our Bierbank (bench).

Graffiti Friday 2

IMAGE_volksbad_graffiti_01Another graffiti spotting bordering on art. You too can discover it in the Isar traversing pedestrian tunnel near the Volksbad. I normally race my bike through the tunnel to get to the Englischer Garten so it was a change to park the bike and really take a look at the Kunst that spans the arched ceiling. I noticed it a year ago when the world cup just started -thus the Graffiti theme. Good times! If you happen to walk or ride by the Volksbad don’t forget to breath in the Menthol from the saunas deeply.

Happy Friday Everyone

I’m not really keen on vandalism, but some of this stuff is truly art. I hope to post more graffiti pedestrian tunnels along the Isar river.
