Weinhaus Schneider located at Sparkassenstraße 1
The over the top ornate beauty of Weinhaus Schneider is discovered in its luxurious decor along with it´s impeccable service run by the family of Harald of the famous Schneider brewery, the fondue restaurant is number one in Munchen, yet the Boss Harald says, "That is because it is the ONLY FONDUE RESTAURANT IN MUNCHEN. It is easy to be number one when you are the only one." He says humbly, yet it´s formal yet friendly reputation is well deserved. The only item on the menu is fondue which the boss Harald prepares the sauces himself every morning. The recipes are a secret and will remain so, yet the guests come from everywhere in the world to taste the fondue which have service of 2 people or more, or if you are one person and feel like eating lots of fondue go for it! +49(0)89 2 91 6 1 306
The first day I said Hello to Harald he was making his fondue sauces and I yelled hello in the open windows in the summer. He asked if I wanted to sit at the dining room table and chat about the history of the Weinhaus Schneider and we sat 3 hours and drank a 500.euro bottle of wine, of which he said his director of many years, Mikala yelled at him at dinner about. PS the best wine I ever had form 1963.

And everybody knows Octoberfest, right? Where the Prince Albert Von Thurn und Taxis and his lovely
family even attend! The Chancellor Angela Merkle has been known to enjoy a liter or two, yes they only serve LITERS of BEER at OCTOBERFEST IN MUNICH, which the tours start daily from 9.30am and 3.30 amd September 20 to October 5th. They would love for you to join the over 6 million visitors every year and try on the traditional Dirndls and Lederhosens as you maybe enjoy a liter of beer. Or since you´re bike riding share a liter! 
In addition check out the fact that you can rent bikes hourly, daily and weekly. His is the biggest English speaking bike tour company in Europe, with a additional location in Amsterdam. Mike started out as a student from Long Island New York coming to Munich with 12 bikes and himself asking tourists if they wanted tours. He has grown to such a big company and "loves Munich. I have made my home here and as a matter of fact I don´t feel German, I do feel American yet the quality of life in Bavaria is unbeatable!" he says.
The Vietnamese Colorful and Playful "we want you to feel like you are on a vacation within a vacation"
BAMI HOUSE 1976 OF MUNCHEN...
Meet a "Bami" the Vietnamese sandwich which is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside and according to the chief financial officer, NHA, "a secret Vietnamese recipe in Vietnam that we couldn't even score the recipe on," says NHA. Yes, the delightful and very cool new friend of mine, NHA, speaks that way! 
"You know, Mr. Hoang's first BAMI HOUSE 1976 is tiny and he thought he could try, yet we had 100 meters of people in line outside and he said, okay, let's do another and another and yes we are very successful today. It had it's first opening on April 2017 and we now have 5 in Munchen and 2 in the progress. We have many franchises from everybody in the world wanting us. Why do we have success when others don't! Because the food is very good! And I am not just saying that because I made it or I am a team person here or I am from Vietnam. It is very good and very tasty and very inexpensive and the atmosphere is such as I said that you can feel as if on vacation while on a vacation." says my lovely friend NHA.
I invite him to try
BAMI HOUSE 1976 in Miami and in Key West, two special places that the people would absolutely LOVE! And I forget to invite him to MONACO france where they, too, would love it!

Ur, who is the top cook says, "Every month we create a new menu and it is based on Mediterranean at first and now has more Italian fusion types of food along with the Mediterranean flair. I try to present the highest quality food with the best prices and everybody can enjoy COCO, including the family."
Muck is a professional. Hands Down. I met the young piercing and body modification artist today at his studio named Supreme Needle Art in Munchen, which he manages together with his closest friend, called Nurik.
And while I am very happy to give tourists around the world the best restaurants and the funnest, in addition to fun active things to do, it is always a pleasure to add a little something different. Piercing perhaps.
Or "Gorgeous tattoos that are so real you can not duplicate these. The best, coming today, in my opinion, are Russian, Ukraine, Eastern European tattoor artists whose realism is amazing. I have 2 resident tattoo artists in my studio, and all other styles covered from artists around the globe and sometimes up to 3 visiting artists. I have worked in the business as a pure professional the last 11 years and I know the good ones. The clean ones. The professionals that have the education and the training to safely give you what you want for your body. And above all, it is your body, afterall. If you are 18 and above you can certainly decide if you want body modification and piercing and tattoos." he says as he happily shows me his VERY PROFESSIONAL STUDIO complete with 4 state of the art(soon to be 5) leather tattoo chaired stations and a private office where the body modification is done. 
Just as you wouldn´t have surgery from your neighbor, you would find a professional doctor,
DON´T TRY THIS YOURSELF! Muck is a professional: Only find the best professionals for something as involved as that, yet if you want it go to Muck! 
"I think that the reason the guests come here is since they can choose many items. They don´t have to have a quick Kabob and the friends go somewhere else for pizza or a salad or gnocchis, for instance. My father has a good quality kabob with freshest vegetables everyday and we have great pizza that my father makes personally right in front of you. He loves to make hearts and he is very kind." That is very true. Very kind. Augustenstraße 31...about 300 meters from the Hauptbahnhof Train Station. While you are waiting for your train, take a 15 minute walk, have lunch, and enjoy!
Call and make your pizza request.
Here a cool group of hard-working students attending the University near the Pizzeria Goldini restaurant on Augustenstraße 31. "We´re having kabobs today, yet thanks for the Pizza cards!" says the students pictured here, as I hand out pizza cards that you buy 10 pizzas and the 11th is free.
Hamid has a better system for the tourists and students though. "You can bring a group of people and 10 people receive stamps of buying the pizza and 1 person has a free pizza that same day. You can add your friend´s pizzas, too. As long as you have 10 pizzas bought on that card, I give you another pizza!" he says. Cool!
"The university that we are at is for people who have been in the workplace in a vocational environment and going back to school. It is a nice place here in Munich and we´re all at that one." says one of the nice students, all of who seem super happy to be eating Kabobs today!
"You know when you first open a restaurant, you have a idea in your mind of what you want and when I worked with my head chef, (I am a chef too and I do about 5 days of cooking here,) I give him total free rein to create. He would become bored if I designed only what I want on it. He has chosen about 40 wines form various countries including a very good selection of German Reislings, over the years, 3 to be precise. and he makes the menu. I guess that is why we are a little different. It is a fusion of Japanese food and cooking, yet the chef decides the dishes he presents and they are based on the Japanese themed menu, yet we present our versions to the guests as a surprise. So, yes you can eat Japanese food here, yet the presentations and the fusions are a little bit based on the before experience of the head chef."
With such specialties as duck and Macademia nuts or crispy mussels with ginger plum, you are sure to be delighted! 
I feel that the other real difference is the warmth of the restaurant. It is eclectic and cozy and open with its big windows and airy space and has such a unique feel to it that you keep discovering cool items to observe. And the food is great and the cocktails too. Love it!
You will love the eclectic and rather eccentrically charming Japanese and Head chef Fusion restaurant in Munchen´s trendy gentrified section Thalkirchner Str. 16 , but mostly you will love the boss, Philipp, pictured here, who, along with his father, built the entire bistro cafe funky casual Japanese themed restaurant themselves. "The walls are painted from friends, the metal chairs and bar and actually all of it is built from my father and me and we kind of started a Japanese inspired restaurant from the Japanese restaurants I used to go to in New York where I loved the atmosphere and the food. I wanted something just like that here. And we have had it about 3 years and the guests love it. The item that is of most importance to me is the fact that we started with one restaurant of about 4 wines and a nice menu to something totally unique such as the 40 bottles of wine we have now and a menu that is constantly being created." Says Philipp. One of his favorite words is "creating!" and he says that his ventures and his life is constantly being creating constantly moving forward and I find that here in the USAGI.

We have Health and Mana Potions on Game Night,where you can play card games and actually any kind of games you want. Kamen made the drinks, with alcohol, of course to match, and maybe in the future we can have different themed nights, yet right now we are too busy to do anything except the bar, the food, the menu, you know for instance today I am alone in the kitchen and we are totally full. Yes, I enjoy it of course, yet sometimes, especially since we are only 3 months old, it is stressful!" 
SPANISH TAPAS
The first day I met only Kamen, who made me laugh saying, "Our menu you can not find something that isn't from everywhere!" and I laughed at the choice of words!" We have English and American breakfasts and we have brunches that are international and we have Spanish tapas after 5.30pm. A couple of days ago, a couple came in and said that they wanted to eat every tapa on the menu and we have 13 tapa entries. I asked if maybe they wanted to try the tapas first and they said that they wanted all of these and they stayed 3 hours and drank and ate every tapa entry and all on the plates. I don't know how yet they do!" 
BACKPACKING IN BAVARIA...doing a Mike's Bike Tour around Bavaria is fun! 
Mike´s Bike Tours in Munchen includes Bavaian Beer fun, of course!
Mike´s Bike Tours in Munchen includes Bavaian Beer fun, of course! The largest English Speaking Bike Tour Company in Europe started with the happy enthusiastic American, Mike, standing at the cathedral square with his 12 bikes and girlfriend asking Tourists if they would love a tour! Since 1995 his IS a SUCCESS STORY!
Or you can do private tours that range from Beer drinking tours, walking tours (maybe a good idea when drinking beers) bus tours, and a agreement with James to Dachau Concentration Camp tours.

Team New Hampshire in the beautiful English Gardens of Munchen. "We have a lot of Americans, and English and Irish and Australian and New Zealand mostly since we are 100% English Speaking Tour Guides; however, if you speak english or even if you don´t, you can still take our tours and most importantly we have over 100 bikes for the great tourists that want to rent bikes and tour the city alone and with friends. WE LOVE BIKES AND BIKERS!" says Miranda happily when she talks about Americans. Does she miss America? "NO! I love Germany." she says. 
SUSHI SOUL at Klenzenstrasse 71, Munchen

"I have the largest communal Japanese table in Europe, which is the long traditional style tables that I first encountered on my trips to Japan 20 years since. Everybody sits down on one long table and they immediately make friends with each other within a couple of minutes. I thought the idea cool and that is the first item in my restaurant. I coupled that with the Open sushi bar that has 3 sushi chefs, the head chef being with me 20 years now, where you can see the sushi as it is being prepared. I since have added two rooms with the traditional style of sitting without your shoes on and the people love it. The room is eclectic and pretty much coincides with my additions of Japanese wine, which we made ourselves, Japanese whiskey and Japanese gin, Japanese Vodka and of course the sake with our own signature sake cocktails," says the very very cool boss of Sushi Soul, Christian. 
"A couple of years since my daughter told me of a old traditional German Family near me that made chocolates and I bought about 35 of these at Christmas last year and gave these, along with our wine to my team. They loved it and we worked with the family and with Japanese whiskey brands and made 5 new whiskey chocolates that are 100% ours!" He gave me the 5 to eat and they are GREAT!
"We have the largest Japanese Whiskey collection in the entire world," says Christian, as he shows me a huge book with about 250 whiskeys, all from Japan, in it! "Some of the Whiskeys are no longer availabe and when the bottle is gone, it is gone. You would spend thousands and thousands of euros trying to buy and bottle and most do not even exist any longer."

The Burgers are huge and I had the Killer Kowalski, which is a famous sports figure from Poland and I had eaten a couple bites when Domenic told me that my burger wasmade from red lentils and was 100% veggie! My first veggie burger ever and tasted great and plus I am on a total health focused diet and that is a definite on my list." The one here is a meat burger, of course!

"My happiness comes from the satisfaction of the guests and the fact that we have made many friends during the 3 years from the people that come in here every week. I like the friendliness and learning to recognize the same people all the time. It is nice. And of course when people from around the world come in here they always ask about the food and where the recipes come form. My presentation is modern with recipes from, as you say, Grandmother´s kitchen." says Andreas. "Everyday that I open the door I am happy to have risked opening my own restaurant. It is fun to create the menu and it is great to see the guests appreciate that."

Mr. Klaus Böhm is the highly qualified director from 40 years at the Exklusiv Optik in Munich.He is always such fun to talk to and every year it is something different that he has! Not just in terms of the physical glasses and frames in the store, yet always innovative new techniques or programs that he is either involved in or the Master of!
"Let me show you my golfing section of which the young pro named Patrick Kopp wears the name of Sohnges on the shirt. We sponsor him. And of course now he says, O I want to wear the Oakley Sunglasses. They always want to wear the Oakley´s because of the colors. O I must wear the Oakley´s they say." he laughs as he lets me try these on. 
Yes I say the young snowboarders and surfers are totally into the Oakleys! I started working with the Company Headquarters our of Colorado that trains young people from 10 to 21 in the program named Dynamic Sports. It involves many things from eye coordination to strength and we work with these youths in developing these techniques here now at Munchen at University where I train them one time per week. Rafael Nadal works with the colored beans on long strings to develop eye coordination and it is one of the techniques we use." He has for fun me try a couple of the hand-eye coordinaton games and of course the youths are much better at it! Yet it is tons of fun.

"Now the last 3 months we have 3 pair of Cartier original vintage sunglasses. One is the 30 year old platinum original frame from 1986. It is original and only these exist in the entire world. As soon as people know that we have it of course they will come. And then I must try to find something similiar! Now I have 3 original Cartier frames that only exist here. Nowhere else in the world are the originals without being used." he laughs. "A little while ago a old optician died in Paris and they found originals worth 250,000.00 in the basement of his store. I bought a couple of these items and they are in the store here in Munchen. Of course I wanted to buy the whole batch, yet I settled for these. In the business when you have a wonderful reputation that we have we can always find unique items around the world. The young Arab Princes want the new frames, their fathers wanted the vintage ones and now the young Prince´s want the Platinum frames. They change with time. The Asian culture loves the Lotus and the Lindburgh, which are more expensive. However, let me show you another special Ray Ban, solid gold!" he starts laughing and we both can´t stop laughing. SOLID GOLD! "Yes try these on. They´re very heavy." And I try these on and they hurt my nose they are so heavy!

Armando owns Da Armando on Landsberger Staße in Muenchen. As I wondered into the restaurant near the Augustiner Headquarters I am greeted warmly from the Naples Italian Entrepreneur. He speaks only a little english and tons of German, and of course Italian. "For 8 years I own the restaurant. The food is from the Naples region, Pesce, Carni, Pizza, Pasta, and here try these," he says as he gives me cool little dolce treats..."Rafealo, Roccoco from Naples." And the friends that know me know that I eat these immediately! Yum. Especially the Roccocos.

Falscher Hase is the new name, "We are putting uphostelery in the windows like a car seat and everywhere like you see in the spy movies. People feel comfortable in the leathers. And the Falscher Hase is the new name since it means Wrong Rabbit. Since in the day we have coffee to drink and at night we have beer. So people say is it a bar or is it a cafe. We have old brick walls and new window seats. People say is it historical or is it modern. It is a night and day thing. That is why we name is Wrong Rabbit." Michael says. Elisenstraße 5 089 44 235 427

"I would like to open the store and have a coffee bicycle store...maybe with a workshop attached." I thought that he meant let people work on their own bikes and use his tools..."I would have too charge more than 5Euros to use my tools however that is a idea."Van moof bike below....cool |
lovebike.deThe funnest thing about owning the bike store? "All the people that come in. Like the one that just left!" he says laughing...and the bikes? "we've got big bikes, small bikes, city bikes, mountain bikes, tour bikes, racing bikes..." and my favorite is the Trek bike..."Yep the trek bike we got outside it is the one in the middle the black one...." Yes I love Trek....and the Principia pictured...

Amalienstrasse 46 is where you can find a fun funky indoor and outdoor eclectic cafe of French fries as Americans say and Pommes as the German's say. 
Pommes Pommes and Pommes...If a normal person eats one fish and chips newspaper wrapped Pommes every 10 days that is pretty good if however you are the way that I am I tend to eat Pommes everyday. I especially love the real fattening Pommes...and you can definitely find these here. The owner however says that his Pommes "they're healthy..." and the fattening things are the different homemade sauces lined up on the wall that you add to these Pommes. My favorite is the Hamburger Hot sauce with added Jalepeno. It is really hot if you want to try. 18 of em all lined up:)
Rive Gauche is well-known everywhere at Munchen. Whenever I show the website people always say, "O I know him...I know that restaurant. It is a great French restaurant." You can always tell the quality of a place if the locals and the business owners recommend it. That is Rive Gauche. The owner is nice pictured here above and with the "piano guy!". He is an authentic Frenchy. From France and you're lucky if you happen upon him at his place as he is often back and forth. He has been here more than 20 years at the same location. "IT used to be predominantly a gay neighborhood but in the last 5 years there has been a transgression to a mixed neighborhood and especially young families moving in. Everybody is open and active in the region here. I like it more today in the mixture of people coming together. It used to be closed and now it is more friendly. A great group of people here." says the young French owner Arnaud.
I sat outside of the French Bistro one night and Arnaud treated me with a lovely Burgandy from France , of course, and his own recipe of Chicken with Prune Sauce...I know it was pretty good. The people watching isthe best and you can sit along the window sill covering yourself with big fluffy brown blankets that he provides for his outdoorsy guests. Intimate cozy setting. Cool Had Fun
