Dog tolerant. (Dog friendly would be a water bowl outside.) (Dogs are not allowed inside, but this is a normal rule for grocery-type stores.) Prices are very good. I paid €1,70 for a chocolate croissant and a milk coffee. Opens at 5 am.

If you're reading this and still don't know this place, then you need to go there or at least check…read morethe blog even if it's not really up to date. I already saw it a couple of times because I was going to have a pint at Mutter but it was to late for it to be opened, but I popped in only today. The lamps Holly makes he's the owner of this place and he makes everything he sells are all made of paper and they're so cool that you really have to go there and stare at them, in pure amusement. If you talk to him you'll instantly understand that, if the things he makes are so cool, it's only because he's got a genuine passion for what he creates, experimenting with different geometric forms, playing with lights and shadows. All that using nothing but paper another thing he's definitely got a passion for. :-) Talking about how expensive it is, I think you'll be surprised: in fact it's not THAT expensive. Right it's not cheap but, hey: do you want quality stuff? Then you've got to be prepared to spend some money. Otherwisewell, Ikea is everywhere right?! So I think today I discovered another hidden gem in Hamburg, and I can't wait until tomorrow when I'll order my new lamp!

Fantastic shisha shop! This place has everything you could possibly want for your shisha…read moreexperience. There is a wide selection of shisha pipes, tobacco, bowls, hoses, and accessories available here to suit pretty much any preferences you might have. If you're a shisha aficionado and like to customize your session, then you need to check this place out! 1. Pipes Khalil Mamoon, Nargilem, hand-made Syrian, Kaya, and Aladdin (look-alike) shisha pipes that range from EUR40 80. Mini shisha pipes that range from EUR10 25. 2. Tobacco Nakhla (Mizo & regular), al-Waha, al-Fakher, al-Sultan, Starbuzz, Fantasia, Havana, Bisan, 5 Pipes, and Shiazo steam stones in pretty much every flavour out there (50g, 200g, 1kg). Mola Mix and Havana molasses if you like to add some flavour and thickness to your smoke. They will also prepare your tobacco with their own molasses mixes for you while you wait if you have special preferences. 3. Bowls Phunnel, vortex, convex, Egyptian, and multi-compartment ceramic bowls in various shapes, sizes, and colours. They also have a few types of glass bowls available. 4. Hoses Long and short handle hoses with wooden, acrylic, and aluminium mouthpieces. The hoses come in silicon, leather, 'furry' fabric, etc. They also carry mouthpieces containing liquid cooling agents inside so you can refrigerate them for smoother smoke. 5. Accessories Grommets, scalli mods, tongs, pre-cut aluminium screens, coal, propane coal burners, cleaning brushes, and all the other little bits and pieces that make a shisha pipe work. All-in-all, a great one-stop source for shisha supplies. I have yet to find a better selection of shisha-ware anywhere else in Hamburg. The staff are friendly and speak English. The tobacco prices here are the same as other shops, but everything else is very reasonably priced. I would DEFINITELY recommend this place!

I love Graeff for beer, but their selection is mundane. There are specialty beer shops in the…read moreSchanze, but the prices are very high. But this shop is fantastic. They get beers in from Franconia and Bavaria you don't see anywhere else. What got me hooked were the beers from Weiherer - - a Bamberg area brewer that teams with a US craft beer producer - - and their weizenbock, their imperial stout, their imperial IPA - - phenomenal. Today I went and they had expanded their range of bocks and (my favorite style) weizenbocks. At EVERYDAY prices (you'll pay an Euro less per bottle for some things than in the Schanze!). You can even get on their email list, and they will inform you of their next truck trip down to Franconia if you want to order cases of anything in particular. This is a sweet, friendly, neighborhoody place, with a brilliant concept, that is just extraordinary.

I haven't tried the bar yet but they seem to have a wide variety of spirits on offer too. The place is pretty quiet although I did try it on a Thursday night.

This restaurant is part of the lovely Adina apartment hotel and I must admit the dinner I had was…read morereally nice. I had salmon with wild rice and my husband had an Aussie burger. Everything was hot and delicious. I was a bit worried that the salmon was going to be dry as there was not much to choose from the menu that appealed to me but to my surprise it was lovely, moist and very tasty especially with the wild rice and my husband loved his Aussie beef burger that came with beetroots and even a fried egg very different. For dessert I had a chocolate oozy chocolate cake and it was pure chocolate heaven just oozed out. I really liked the the brown décor and clothless tables I prefer tables without table cloths looks more classy. Only thing that lets this restaurant down is the staff as the waitor never greeted us and showed us to a table and he was quite forgetful for example my husband asked for tomato ketchup and he never brought it over. Apart from that a lovely restaurant.
