A visit to AuBere Neustadt

Example of the architecture.
AuBere Neustadt

It is snowing again!  I bundle up and set off to get my nails done.  I have an appointment at 12:00 at the salon down the street.   The process and energy in the salon are very similar to salons in the states.  After my nails are done I decide to go further up the street to the bagel shop and have a bagel for lunch, there was also a notice of free wifi.  I decided on an oregano and parmesan bagel with herb cream cheese and a black tea.  I take my seat excited to play with my smart phone which has gotten very little uses so far this trip.  No luck with the wifi….bummer but the bagel is satisfying.  I should head back to the hotel and work on our Berlin and Prauge trips but I decide a little walk won’t hurt.  I head toward AuBere Neustadt the neighborhood adjacent to mine.   I have seen some of this area but it was while ride the #13 tram.   I turn right down Gorlitzer StaBe off of  Bischofs there are several restaurants and bars.  I review the posted menus which is really funny since they are all in German.  And my understanding of the German langue has not improved much.  As I make my way down the street I see a sign with a very interesting looking cow the sign say Kunsthof Passage so I make the right into what becomes a very cool group of courtyards full of shops.  Follow this link to learn more http://www.kunsthofpassage.de/.  A trip to Dresden should include a visit to this artisan haven.  OK, Stephen is home time to head to show him the Christmas Markets!  Have a great Friday night!
This was my favorite painting in the Kusthof Passage
The bar to the right is call the Tikki Bar.



All my best,
Jill
