Try Tuesday nights at club Mascotte. At Karaoke from Hell, the band hits the wild playlist and local heroes dare to enter the stage. Are you one of them?!

For solid rock, strong drinks and a rockabilly feeling, go to Mata Hari Bar or Sansibar.

Listening and dancing to good music from national and international DJs, drinking, eating and people-watching – and all this in the historic scenery of the Landesmuseum: That’s Rundfunk.fm.

Don’t worry if the lousy weather tempts you to stay in. Tune your radio on 96.6 MHz (south of Zurich) or 104.1 MHz (north of Zurich) and enjoy the music at home. Or visit the afterparty at Stall 6 / Gessnerallee (only on Friday and Saturday nights).

We proudly announce our first guest post! For zurichexpats.com, a web portal for expats in Zurich, we wrote an article about three nice city getaways.

At Kafi Dihei, you’ll feel like in your grannys livingroom and we promise: you’ll easily lose track of time. As the name already says („dihei“ means at home), the cosy interior, the wonderful homemade dishes and the friendly owners Geraldine Gschwend and Sabinska Binswanger make you feel instantly at home.

Thanks to the hint of lovely Kimandra, we enjoyed a lovely brunch at the place : granola, eggs and their homemade bread is just the best!

BTW: The Kafi Dihei is perfectly located for a stroll trough the quarter of Kreis 3. Just opposite you’ll find the lovely store Bits and Bobs. If you turn left you’ll end up at Idaplatz with its many nice bars and coffee places and finally the thrift stores Berta 4 and Berta 6 are just around the corner too.

At the delicatessen department of Globus you´ll find food from all over the world – there must be something typical from your country. Surely you´ll feel better soon after having eaten it!

Or go to the bar at restaurant Volkshaus, sit in the large window and order a big piece of their famous chocolate cake – chocolate always helps!
