Every week I look at the ‘write Wahlmünchnerin post’ task on my calendar and think ‘What am I going to write about?’ And then I go for a walk. I had to run an errand yesterday that took me down Prinzregentenstrasse past the surfing spot right before Haus der Kunst. In almost four (!) years…
Read MoreSad News At The Viktualienmarkt
I shop at the Viktualienmarkt at least twice a week. To me it’s one of the great joys of not only living in Munich, but living close to the city center. It’s true the Viktualienmarkt is a big tourist draw, but there are plenty of locals there too. If you’re one of them you quickly…

Read MorePeople Who Live in Glashauses…Should Rejoice!
Whenever I have an errand to run near Sendlinger Tor, I find an excuse to head over to Bottles & Glashaus, a store that sells, well, bottles and glasses. Even if you don’t get excited by that kind of thing, it’s still worth a look. They’ve got it all; apothecary jars, corked bottles, weck jars,…
