"Heya Girls!"
Women, we must stick together! The fact that Vienna is such a wonderfully shimmering city is also due to the creative people, the small, unusual shops, the fine restaurants that cook the whole world into one city. And in order for them to somehow survive the lockdown, we have to spend money. We have to go shopping and eat out. We can’t? Yes, we can. Because you can also deal with crises in a creative way, like the wonderful Habari shop, which you can now visit with your camera on a very private tour. The owners guide you to the colourful products, explain Japanese and African design and give advice. At gudshapes you can also stop by the studio in Glockengasse – via WhatsApp video call – and buy funny porcelain. Herzilein Papeterie now scores with a calligraphy configurator. Enter the desired text for cards, notebooks or photo books online and it will be artistically written by hand. And for all those who prefer to spend their money on food: We have packed the newsletter full of really good take-away tips. Get out your wallet!
 
Wishing you generous week,
Your CitySpotterGirl

Virtual Exhibition: Farbwelten
 Many galleries currently advertise virtual exhibitions, but here you don't just click through pictures: Monika Herschberger and Karin Czermak present excerpts of their current work with the software Kunstmatrix – which creates a real virtual exhibition space, that you can walk through! Monika Herschberger shows high-contrast pictures of her series “Harmonie”, created during the first lockdown. In Karin Czermak's series “Landlines”, delicate pastel shades can be found alongside powerful landscapes. The works can also be purchased if you are interested.

Live stream of SarahBernhardt
Slowly we’re getting there – this attitude would do a lot of people good at the moment! SarahBernhardt present their debut album during a live stream today, which brings you back down to earth in confused times: The trio from the Mostviertel sets chansons in dialect to music with harp, ukulele and three larynges. It's music that comes in floating easily from the window and then hangs around for a glass or two of wine. The lyrics are deep and regional in the three-part singing, which lingers somewhere between melancholy and lust for life. Here you can already listen in!

 The name Max Stiegl alone makes every foodie's heart beat faster – but Max Stiegl in Vienna? At last! The former youngest Michelin chef in the world and current Chef of the Year 2021 usually delights rural Burgenland with his toque-awarded Pannonian cuisine. Every weekend until Christmas, though, his treats can now be picked up at stattGarten: for example, the Goose Box with candied goose, red cabbage and bread dumplings or the Chef of the Year Box with roast beef, kimchi and fish soup. Each with a bottle of rosé brut. Right around the corner from our office, yippee!

 Frida Kahlo, V+A
DIY with Victoria & Albert Museum
Sewing an authentic 1960s mini dress in the style of iconic designer Mary Quant with three short video tutorials and learning to knit fishnet stockings with 1940s Vogue: Corona makes it possible. London's Victoria & Albert Museum, the world's largest design museum, provides unusual sewing, knitting and crafting instructions online for free. The Huipil, for instance, is suitable for beginners – it’s a tunic like the one worn by artist Frida Kahlo. Those who absolutely do not want to sew can instead learn how to program a computer game or build a lamp out of plywood. Cool!

FREITAG: Bag Swapping
 Tinder for bags? Does exist! And only today at FRIDAY. To set an example against the Black Friday spending madness, the online shop is offline for one day today. Instead, you can swap your old FREITAG bag that you’ve gotten bored with for another one at the S.W.A.P. portal. This is how it works: You register your own bag with a photo and then scroll through the photos of the other customers. If you like a piece, you swipe to the right, otherwise to the left – like on a dating app. If you both swipe right on your respective bags: congratulations! It's a match ;-)

Live stream Glasperlenspiel
Going into the first Advent weekend not with contemplative Christmas carols, but with German electro pop – the chart-champion duo Glasperlenspiel live streams a benefit concert today. Since their debut album “Beweg dich mit mir” was released in 2011, Carolyn Niemczyk and Daniel Grunenberg have been enriching the German pop landscape. In their current single “Immer da” the couple think back to carefree times – a homage to the things and people who were always there. The concert marks the beginning of the Advent fundraising campaign of Brot für die Welt. A small taste here.

Pretty homemade cakes and hipster ambience – a Neubau café has found its way into the 14th district! The Cafe Chrivo is considered an absolute insider tip, but is unfortunately closed at the moment. But: You can pick up the cakes on Fridays and Saturdays on order. Gluten-free chocolate almond cake and poppy seed cake, grandma's cocoa-hazelnut gugelhupf and poppy seed sheet cake with sour cherries are on offer this week – and they are not only delicious, but also extremely photogenic ;-) Orders are accepted via Facebook and Instagram. For this it’s definitely worth taking a pilgrimage to Penzing!

Online guided tour through Albertina
Make a nice cup of tea, put your feet up and go off to the museum! Today the Albertina invites you to take a one-hour Zoom tour of the exhibition “My Generation”. The Jablonka Collection comprises American and German art from the 1980s – and it is quite diverse: from the play of light and contrast in Eric Fischl's paintings, to the constellations of form, symbol and ornament of a Philip Taaffe, to the expansive and dynamic sculptures of Richard Deacon. Art mediators like to shine with their knowledge, so please ask some questions!

 You might call them dim sum, gyoza, pierogi or dumpling – the main thing is that they are dough and fillable! The successful dumplings concept has now been given a second home in the Bobo district. The new ballroom in the seventh is like its freshly steamed dumplings: small but oh my! It doesn't matter when your ravenous appetite gets the better of you - take-away and delivery are available every day of the week for every taste: vegan with Hokkaido pumpkin, Mexican with chilli or Japanese with shrimp. And don't worry: the branch on Alsergrund is also open every day for dumpling desires of all kinds.

Always before Christmas, Austro designer Lisi Lang clears her stock and sells – just on one day – cool and really chic fashion pieces at sale prices. But sure, this year everything is different! And somehow even better, because the coveted flea market had to be moved to the internet – and therefore takes 2 weeks. But the lila flea market is huge again this time, with a total of 700 pieces for sale: prototypes, unique pieces, remnants of the highlights from the summer 2020 collection, treats from earlier years, lots of trousers and warm coats. With every purchase there will be a lila cloth bag for free!

You will probably have to do without the cool graffiti by British artist David Shillinglaw for some time to come, but the fine food is there despite the lockdown. Using the motto “Modern inn replaces old tavern”, the folks at Schlawiener cook down-to-earth but really creatively. Some of the take-away dishes have been bottled, and you can buy beef goulash or fish soup in a glass every day from 14:00. From 16:00, the fresh, daily changing dishes are sold through the window: Ducks Wan Tan soup, baked black pudding slices or roast pork. If they have the latter: make a dash!

Alimentari Hotel Triest
The elegant but ever casual design hotel Triest on Wieden was reconstructed and significantly enlarged two years ago. Currently it is quiet here due to Corona, but the kitchen is still busy anyway! In the unbelievably beautiful delicatessen shop “Alimentari”, which belongs to the hotel, not only Italian food but also food for pick-up can be sold. Every day, two dishes plus one soup are prepared – Italian-inspired, naturally. Pasta, vegetables and sugo are down-to-earth, but in terms of taste they are definitely “big screen stuff”!

Finally escape the constant stream of stimulation and spend 45 minutes in silence! You meditate sitting, walking and standing.

A Winter´s Journey
Schubert in jazz style at MuTh today as live stream: the perfect soundtrack for a cosy evening in front of the fireplace. For years now, singer Lia Pale has been interpreting romantic art songs as songs – and very successfully. Together with jazz composer and arranger Mathias Rüegg, Pale set Schubert's Winterreise to music in 2018, a song cycle based on 24 poems by Wilhelm Müller. The highlights can be heard live today. A reinterpretation with a lot of feeling, which will not leave even classical purists out in the cold. Here is a musical appetiser.

Das Ferment
Something old rediscovered: Fermentation is thousands of years old and means fermentation through lactic acid – preserving vegetables gently without killing off healthy ingredients. The technology arrived in gourmet kitchens a while ago – and with the Ferment it’s now available at the multifarious Vorgartenmarkt. A restaurateur and a food technologist produce stuff like home-made kimchi from fennel and beetroot with daikon. Miso is available in three varieties: traditionally soy-based, as “mugi” with local organic barley, or with chickpeas. And for thirst: kefir and bubbly kombucha.

It' s quite audacious to open a new restaurant in times like these. But since so much love and finesse are put into the work here, they have already cooked up a lot of fans anyway. “Veganery” is the name of the casually furnished snack bar, take away has always been part of the concept. Organic and vegan is their principle in the kitchen, several vegetable dishes are prepared every day, which are then composed into a varied “potpourri”. You eat with your eyes as well – and since the chef is an artist, even the take away portions are served very artfully. Be sure to try the cinnamon swirls!
