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.
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.
Alicia Keys has tried it and so should you. Offerings like aerial yoga, pilates, reformer, barre, meditation and breathwork leave no room for excuses.
If you long for something more than standard brunch fare, long no more! The “Avomaniac” avocado bread will fulfill all your dreams.

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?
