HANGOVER CURE
Nothing beats a run around Kollwitzkiez, even if you had one too many last night.
Nothing beats a run around Kollwitzkiez, even if you had one too many last night.
For this route, start at Rosenthaler Platz along the walk of shame – down Torstrasse, whose bars usually no one leaves before 2am. Turn left onto Schönhauser Allee and soak up the bustle of Mitte. Pass through Kollwitzpark and stop either at 44 Brekkie for an insanely soft brioche or at La Criolla for one of the best empanadas in town. Since it’s all about balance, take it slow and opt for another break on this hangover route – a massage at Dien Chan 2.0 or a breathwork session at Hale.Now Studios, perhaps. Wanna skip the headache next time? Stop by the Mindful Drinking Club for plenty of alcohol-free options. End your run with a cold pressed juice from Daluma.
Alicia Keys has tried it and so should you. Offerings like aerial yoga, pilates, reformer, barre, meditation and breathwork leave no room for excuses.
We all know about the merits of Vietnamese food, but what about a massage straight from Vietnam? Relax and elevate your mood at this family-run studio.
Fancy some indulgence after your run? How about hazelnut baobab or pistachio lucuma ice cream, made with organic nut milk, cocoa butter and coconut oil?
Let’s be honest, there can never be enough bakeries – especially when they are as authentic and good as this one.
Serves all the greens that your taste buds crave, from cold pressed juices to raw food salads and homemade coconut yoghurt.
ABC for short – serving Aussie cuisine with an eye for detail. Try BLTs, eggs Benedict and warm banana bread.
