Allergiker Café
Well, well, well, what do we have here? Since recently Vienna has a café for people suffering from allergies. Ggraphic designer Franka Rothaug came together with her mother Margret, an environmental adviser, to open a small café, where even the most desperate allergy sufferers can find something to eat. Their cakes have all good-sounding names like „Herr König“, „Katinka“ or „Momo“ and are guaranteed without any gluten, lactose or nuts. You can also eat cakes without any eggs, without fructose or tortes poor in histamine. Today they celebrate their opening – with sample dishes and a big choice of cakes.

Art & odds and ends
Do you fancy second-hand antiquarian items, vintage style & more? If that’s the case, then strolling through late summer Augarten can be warmly recommended. You can stroll through antiquarian books, trinkets, records and CDs, plants, flower boxes, vintage clothes, design from the 50’s and 60‘s, synthetic materials from the 70’s and strange treasure troves from the last 200 years. This time travel takes place in the pub garden of the Bunkerei, but at bad weather conditions, the flea market will be moved inside the bunker. For the enhanced pleasure of yours, there are small concerts in the afternoon.
Bunkerei Augarten, Obere Augartenstraße 1a, 1020 Wien. 13.+14. September 11:00 bis 18:00 Uhr. Web |

We’ve been waiting for this day to come! Today, the Markterei celebrates premiere, and will become the next favourite Saturday activity for the CitySpotterGirl. Vienna’s first " Neighborhood Market" wants to bring consumers and producers closer together, and to become an alternative to the anonymous supermarket. They sell only high- quality regional products – vegetable from Langenlois, buckthorn salt from Mostviertel, homebrew as well as cakes from “Die Süße”. In addition to all this you can enjoy nice DJ-Music here and you will have a lot of space to comfortably chat and eat. Every month from now on.

Dream palace
The emperor Franz Joseph constructed a palace in the gigantic Lainzer zoological garden in 1881 for his wife, who was fond of travelling, in order to keep her for a longer time in Vienna – but in vain. Sisi never slept in the Hermesvilla. Nevertheless she called this romantic domicile her “dream palace” – and this palace can be visited today, free of charge. You can also enjoy presentations about the extravagant empress, a photo story about her funeral or take part in the guided tours in and around the Villa. You can also see places that are normally closed – the old basement, for example with Vienna’s oldest central heating system.
Hermesvilla im Lainzer Tiergarten, 1130 Wien. 14.9. ab 11:00 Uhr. Free entrance. Web |

Take a chair
A chair must possess four legs and an armrest, says who? The unusual chairs and the stools from the past centuries defy being four legged and one armrested – for the joy of ours! At the auction in Dorotheum you can find all kinds of uncommon chairs and bid for them at affordable prices: starting with a wooden rider seat, you will also find carved armchairs and a lovely school desk or a Fauteuils (wingback chair) in Art Deco style (extendable!). And if you still remember and like the game “musical chairs” you can win an original Roland Rainer stool!

Sir Tischbein "Schwarz Weiß"
It is something new from the retro rogue: Sir Tischbein earworms today with his music ensemble, in which clowns are making fuss, a dog plays records on a gramophone, and songs are performed as soon as someone shouts their title. The smart musician from Vienna, who is always accompanied by his dog Pascal, garnishes his songs with funny lyrics and dreams of a world, where all the “prohibitions are forbidden”. In his new revue you can hear modern beats combined with the scratchy sounds of a record – a mix of swing from the 20’s, modern cabaret and new songs.

Two women and a corpse
What happens, if a man dies, and there are two widows at his funeral? Patricia Melo’s “Zwei Frauen und eine Leiche“ starts like a detective play but soon turns to a comedy and to a character study of two women, the one was the mistress and the other was the wife of the killed person. This play is performed by the „Sag’mas-Theatergruppe“, an association of dedicated drama school students, who work highly professional, but are still in need of a bit of word-of-mouth-recommendation. ;-)

Modern Buddhism in Vienna

Business Seminar for Women over 40
It is probably the most unusual business seminar, which takes place at the moment in Vienna: Cameroon-born Beatrice Achaleke presents in her workshop the so called “GloBUNTUkoffer”, which should transform your life to a singularity in five steps. In the process you should go 20 years back in time, take your life suitcase and travel back to the present day, clear it out and prepare it for the future. The African philosophy of life, “UBUNTU”, complemented with a creative visualizing will help you to achieve this. Plus: a large portion of fun and joy!

Supersense
It feels like we are in New York here, doesn’t it? In a splendid location, in the Venetian-style Dogenhof, a bunch of creative people is bustling around (all of them a bit inclined towards eccentricity). They sell Polaroid films and cameras there (the boss saved Polariods with his company Impossible), they record a record in the Music Elevator (everyone can do it for 15€) and they can press poetry on the good old printing press. And this place is a cafe as well: with a tiny menu, perfect coffee and the best ham ever. Heavens, isn’t that just great?
Supersense, Praterstraße 70, 1020 Vienna. Cafe Mon-Wed 10:00 till 19:00, Thu+Fr 10:00 till 22:00, Sa 10:00 till 17:00 Uhr. Shop Mo-Sa from 11:00. Web |
