One of the last stores that exclusively sells DVDs and Blurays…read more I believe it was a little more than year ago when Lazerzone moved across the street into a smaller establishment and as of recently they also close on Mondays. This should demonstrate how bad it is for these smaller stores that depend on people watching movies on DVD. We still go there, almost religiously, not only because they can order everything for you, but their prices are still really competitive - even though all competition has already left Zurich. Not only do they have a large variety of indie documentary and always the newest blockbusters, but most of the time they have the newest TV series of hit shows such as Treme or Glee.

From the owner: Wir sind das führende Geschäft im Raum Zürich für Filme aller Art im DVD und Blu-ray Format. Das…read moreEldorado für Liebhaber und Kenner der Filmbranche.

Tyson's opened just a few months back and is ready for you to come in for:…read more a. DVD rentals and video games b. frozen yogurt c. art gallery events Yes, Tyson's (named for the owners' dog and not the ex-boxer) is all that and a bag of chips. The video selection is small, but packed with films I would like to see, if I (mostly) hadn't already. Genres include: European art-house, Hollywood blockbusters, a bit of Bollywood, and documentary. Tyson's also rents a few solid TV series like Life on Mars with John Simm, Borgen, Homeland, Dexter, and, the current darling, Downton Abbey. The fro-yo on offer is natural flavour with a hint of vanilla. This frozen, tasty treat needs none of the toppings--from berries to choco-chips to gummi bärchen--on offer to pretty it up. Five CHF for a small portion. On Friday, March 13th the shop will begin featuring the work of a Jamaican artist called Courtney Forbes. Forbes' work will be up until the third week in April. I am very curious to see how Tyson's will transform itself for the duration. If any local resident is in need of a Wim Wenders flick and a cup of fro-yo to-go for a night in on the sofa, then get on down to Tyson's! Art enthusiasts from all over ZH might do well to check out the temporary art exhibits. The proprietor is knowledgeable, friendly, and engaging. I'll wager one wouldn't be disappointed. *they don't sell music CDs

I visited Zurich last year and found Calligrame while I was walking through the Old Town. I fell…read morein love immediately. The owner is wonderful and sweet. Between English and my very poor French and Swiss German, she and I were able to communicate just fine. In my apartment in California, I have taped to my wall several postcards that I bought from Calligrame. I miss the store a lot and look forward to visiting again when I return to Zurich.
