Ka De Wa
Feinschmaeckeretage
Kartoffel-Acker

a department store similar to our good old David Jones ,with an amazing food hall
wow one could spend a day there and not be bored...
foodie heaven me thinks....
it doesnt take long to get hungry when one is surrounded with amazing food...
i believe when you are in another country one must sample local food and wine
on this occassion i had a glass of Frankenwein and tried the Sauerfleisch
very german dish.
the Wine was rather pleasant with the pickled pork and sauted potatoes......

White Trash fast food Restaurant

this was the most bizare restaurant i have been to thus far....
interior was british pub mixed with hong kong and Moulon rouge serving american ribs ,steaks and burgers
never have i seen the word F&%$ on the menu however at this restaurant with your burger or steak you also got
f$%& You fries on the side.....
wait staff were slightly alternative looking ....
band came on during meal punk jazz....mmmmmm interesting,unusual,unique...
i think the burlesque shows during the week maybe better.....
an eye opener for all i am sure
