Ice Cold Dorada

I’m more of a vino tinto than a beer kinda girl, unless it’s light beer and when I’m amongst tropical vibes. Call me an occasional beer drinker. 

Arriving in Tenerife, Spain the whole airport was screaming: Welcome to the island of Dorada! Like the beer was a monument. So, to help boosting the Spanish economy and ofcourse not to offend the Canarian, I ordered Dorada on hot sunny moments instead of ordering a Coca Cola, Corona, Heineken or Carlsberg. Ordering non-Spanish beer in my honest opinion is just plain rude haha

Grosvenor Cinema

One of the things I love as a tourist is to do what the locals do. Go to the cinema! And preferably the art house ones. Just to experience the sphere of a city and its folks. We were planning to check out Ides of March and dine at the Grosvenor Cafe first. A venue with a cafe slash restaurant in the loft of the building, a bar and cinema downstairs.

Crime: German wine and Beers
Scene: Cafe Brecht, Weteringschans 157, Amsterdam
Investigation: Had an awesome night full of ‘Gesseligkeit’ mit my German homies from the office. How German can a cafe be? Felt like Berlin and the sphere is awesome. It’s always crowded so make sure you don’t get in too late. The selection of wine and beer according my German girls is awesome. They felt at home haha. Check this place out and have a glass of German red wine outside if it’s dry and sunny :)

Stedelijk going bananas A good friend took me out on a date. First we got some delicious Vlaamse Stoverij, beef stew made with beer from Gollem’s Proeflokaal with fries and apple salad at the Overtoom 160-162 and went of to het Stedelijk, Museum of contemporary and modern art. Temporary Stedelijk 2 organized Loud! evenings with themes like gaming. What interested me more were the other collections about typography by Wim Crouwel, work from other graphic designers like Ted Noten with his banana ring and the Cuban mid 60’s campaign posters designed by Olivio Martinez Viera to revive the sugar industry. Giving a boost to the economy by setting a goal: working for a harvest of ten tons of sugar. It’s just fascinating how people use great design to communicate. You can visit this event until the 9th of October 11pm.
