In a similar vein, the Painted House (over the river in Sachsenhausen) is very good for trad Frankfurt cuisine - that is, local cider, sauerkraut, sausages etc. www.zumgemaltenhaus.de/das-gemalte-...

A great 70s classic disaster movie, of course, but I also love the photos of the cast

If anyone needs any (e)bike gear, the BOC store (including the Hanauer Landstraße store in Frankfurt) is offering discounts later this month 👇 @lynnnothegger.bsky.social @kurierprinzessin.bsky.social @untergrund-ffm.bsky.social

You inspired me to pay a visit there a few years ago, though my pictures aren't a patch on yours!

Not enough is said about drummer Michael Clarke's bizarre descent from Adonis-level beauty to "guy who's come to mow your lawn".

Yes, this picture postcard scene is cute and twee, but it's still breathtaking to see the deep blue lake and snow-topped mountains with your own eyes.

To my untrained eye, those impressive buildings are reminiscent of the Bauhaus houses (from 1929-30!) I was lucky to visit in Dessau in autumn.

Me when *the one sentence* I've translated pretty averagely in a long text of otherwise pretty authentic English is the one chosen for the headline, the tweet and the teaser ... #xl8 #translating

Really pleased to visit the #Bauhaus Laubenganghäuser in Dessau last week. Fascinating how they're sort of all the same with a lot of interesting differences.
