Let’s be honest: When you’re young, one hand is always reserved for holding a beer, and sleep is a word you all too rarely hear about. Sound familiar? I feel you. So let me help you find the best places in Rostock to indulge your party passion, tested and approved by me and my flatmates […]
Where 2 Eat/Drink/Go Out
Rostock Libraries Part 1: Stadtbibliothek (City Library) + Get free comics!
This blog entry will focus only on the Stadtbibliothek. A second part about the university library, and possibly more book and library-related musings will follow at some point. I realise that this might be a niche topic on a blog targeted, at least according to its name, at backpackers, i.e. tourists. But then again, it […]
Where To Go For … a Döner
So, imagine you’ve been shopping all day and are exhausted. Your stomach’s telling you for half an hour already that it’s hungry, but you are too spent to go home and cook. For the most authentic German experience we advise you to go and get a Döner. The Döner was actually invented in Germany […]
Exploring Rostock’s Alternative Side – JAZ
Rostock as a not too big city probably still has (almost) everything you can imagine and could probably need. Like you might already have discovered on this blog or other resources, there are loads of cool places like bars, cafés, public areas which are pretty enjoyable but unfortunately often also a little crowded. So if […]
Where To Go For… Ice Cream
Picture this: You have been shopping all morning in Rostock’s Kröpi, the heart of the city. It is a hot day. The sun is beating down on you. You are delirious, longing for absolution. Where should you go for delicious, cool, life-saving ice-cream? In the city centre, there are several places to choose from. And […]
Fröhlich Frozen Yogurt – Refreshing Sin
You’re probably an addict. You’re on sugar. Don’t worry – me too! Sugar fuels every cell in your brain, sugar is a reward to your brain, sugar is addictive. It is tough to break your habits, especially when it comes to the consumption of this sweet motherf*cker. You know that feeling when you get a […]
Sushilicious
Rostock and sushi!? Granted, that particular Japanese delicacy is not the first thing that pops up in one’s mind when thinking of a North-eastern German city, but it actually makes an aweful lot of sense to combine the omnipresent fish dishes of Rostock with the cuisine of the Far East. Even I have to admit […]
Café central – the best breakfast á la carte in Rostock
It is Sunday morning and you wake up with a tremendous desire for pancakes. But you don’t have all the ingredients in your house to make those fluffy, filling pancakes. What are you going do and where are you going to go? I can absolutely recommend to breakfast at Café Central. It is a rustic […]
Cado’s – or French Crepe-Art
The past few weeks have been exceptionally warm and sunny in Rostock. Witnessing a heatwave always tempers my appetite for a solid meal, so I decided to have a lunch at Cado’s, my favourite crêperie in the Old Town district. I only know about Cado’s because a good friend asked me to join her for […]
How To Do: Mensa in Rostock
As a group of four students: two of us German and the other two exchange students from Korea, we decided to create a little guide to show the latter two a local insight to Rostock. Check out our other blogs here and here. Q&A 1. I live in Erich Schlesinger Strasse. Where is the nearest […]
Glashagen – Back To Nature
Since the internet is swamped with people, who needs to show how happy they are all the time, and how down to earth they are (while taking a sip from their over-priced-Starbucks-coffee-to-go-cup), finding peace in nature and meditations, I thought, there must be people who will love it in Glashagen. Glashagen is not far from […]
Rostocker Artnight in the Old Town
On May, 25th the Rostocker Artnight took place in the Old Town (by klicking on the link you find recent acitvities and events in the Old Town) where you could walk along the small cobblestoned streets and also into the Nikolai-and Petrichurch to look at new and old art from various local artists. The blue […]
