eigensinnig Archive Sale
Very avant-garde, very cool: The “eigensinnig” is definitely one of the most interesting concept stores in town. And if the character pieces, almost all of which are in black and grey, are available here at a reduced price, then you just gotta be there! Especially since the sale is under the motto “When spring becomes summer”. A discount of up to 70% is available on summer-light unique pieces by selected designers and samples from their own collections: jackets and trousers, scarves and shawls, caps and hats. Insider tip: this time the selection is – due to the crisis – larger than usual.

Remembrance at Baranka Park
For many centuries, the former Hellerwiese in Favoriten – today’s Belgradplatz with the Baranka Park – was a campsite and resting spot for different Roma and Sinti families dealing in carpets, textiles, and horses. Until 80 years ago. Because in autumn of 1941, all men, women, and children camping there were deported to concentration camps where most of them were killed. In remembrance of this, they play music today from 17:00 under the red chestnut tree – with Harri Stojka (after whose murdered grandmother the park was named), Tommy Hojsa and Aliosha Biz.

Greek Garden Party
Short holiday at the sunny Mediterranean! The Retsina flows in streams and the barbecue is sizzling promisingly: that's how relaxed Greek vibes feel and that's exactly what the Greek garden party on the Pawlatschen in the Vienna Metropol is all about today. The duo Marios and Julia provide the right Mediterranean sound on the open-air stage with bouzouki and guitar. They play traditional rebetiko, the “Greek blues”, but also folk music from Crete and songs by Mikis Theodorakis, the most famous Greek composer of the 20th century. Tickets are available for a total of three dates.
Metropol, Hernalser Hauptstraße 55, 1170 Vienna. 3 July 19:30. 22 €. Web |

Legend Carriage
Yes, Vienna actually has a “Legend Carriage" now. And with it the legends of the city are told in an unusual way! In a horse-drawn carriage you roll through the alleys around the Ilgplatz and listen to the stories, brought to life by puppeteer Michaela Aigner. There are five puppets to choose from, each one representing a legend: The devil, who messes with the construction of St. Stephen's Cathedral, the basilisk, who sits in the fountain giving off a terrible smell, and of course death can’t be left out of the Viennese legends, either. The programme is designed for families, as suitable for adults as for younger people. Only with reservation!
Departure: corner of Venediger Au/Ausstellungsstraße, 1020 Vienna. 120 €. 3 July 14:00. Web |

Linusch Bazaar
Haggle hard and then strike! There are no fixed prices at the sale of fashion and textile designer Tehilla Gitterle. Like at a colourful bazaar, every piece is a matter of negotiation. In the newly designed shop atelier in Hernals, collections from her label Linusch will be under the hammer for three days. Today is the last chance to buy one of her timelessly ingenious graphic pattern pieces at a lower price. The label's design is mainly characterised by geometric shapes, the collections are called Art Deco or Tricolore. Don’t forget: put on your poker face ;-)

A new cultural stage is anchoring this summer on the New Danube in Floridsdorf. The cool event “Usus am Wasser Live” brings cabaret, readings and music to Transdanubia, the open-air stage directly on the waterfront is even weatherproof with a rain roof. In July, the stage belongs to the small art scene, today the ex-married couple Guido Tartarotti and Birgit Braunrath give each other a run for their money. With wine and pointed truths, the two work through 12 years of relationship in “Happily Divorced". Separate doubles with a shared sense of humour.

Full moon boat ride at the Old Danube
Finally something for the romantics among us – in hopefully nice weather, you can fully indulge in your feelings and take a boat ride at the Old Danube in the evening air and under the full moon. The boat hirers extend their opening hours so you may sail to the most romantic places until shortly before midnight. Hopefully in nice company and definitely with a bottle of Prosecco because that is included in the price. There are sailing boats, rowing boats, electric boats and paddle boats available for the nightly trip. Aloha Oe!

Floating Concerts at the Old Danube
Chugging along the Danube and letting yourself be swept away by the finest classical music à la Beethoven and Haydn at sunset, while indulging in delicious culinary delights. Sounds like a cheesy schmaltzy film? But it actually takes place on the beautiful Old Danube – on boat islands that look like water lilies from above and are built from recycled PET bottles. The string quartet “Vienna Strings” fiddles in the middle, the culinary treats come from Schinakl and Strandcafé and the wine list is opulent. This comes very close to a fancy summer holiday ;-D
Meeting place: Laberlweg 19, 1220 Vienna. Start 20:00. 59 €. Registration by mail. Web |

Positive Stress Management
You often learn to deal with stress involuntarily, which can be damn exhausting. With the eight-week positive stress management of mental trainer Simone Walther, however, you get a whole toolbox for a healthy way of handling it. The methods are acquired during weekly lessons and afterwards discussed again via Zoom session. You learn how to prevent burnout, to say “no” to others respectfully and how to keep calm even during the most stressful workday. The online course is not cheap, but you can also book weeks (and topics) individually.

Folksmilch at Spittelberg
There is probably no music genre that the trio of “Folksmilch” doesn’t have down pat: The crossover band can play stirring folk music as well as intense tango or pop songs for swinging and jazz. Their cover versions of classical and Austropop hits are quite cabaret like. Michael Jackson's “ Billie Jean” sounds like tango, Mozart's piano piece “Alla Turca” becomes a groovy Balkan swing and the EAV hit “ Fata Morgana” a bizarre operetta. Tonight the band will play their musical melange live at Spittelberg. Provides greats vibes, even to the furthest corner.

Ströck-Feierabend Bakery
How to battle food waste? Bakery Ströck has now managed an ingenious step towards sustainability. After months of development, you can now by “organic re-bread”. For that, they use one third of “organic rye-pur” bread from the previous day's overproduction, which decreases the amount of valuable food to be disposed of. The result is a particularly tasty bread that tastes fresh even after days. The clever loaves can be bought exclusively in the newly opened bakery in the 1st district, which is also open on Sundays!

Jinco
Rarely have someone else’s childhood memories tasted so delicious to CitySpotterGirl. “Cong You”, a noodle dish from the streets of Shanghai, is soul food as it should be – unflashy but highly addictive. The look of the new restaurant Jinco is also unflashy – but the service is all the more appealing and the Shanghai cuisine is quite the revelation. The owner, a newcomer to the business, was missing the food of his childhood: they opened shortly before Corona, only to have to close immediately. Now the venue is booming – and rightfully so!
