A little preview of what’s opening soon at Zürichstrasse 49 Lucern.
The Ochs&Junior Concept Store is an atelier space for ideas, TAVOLATAs, meetings, friends, freshly brewed espresso, just a good place to be… and of course there are the watches!
Besides the Ochs&Junior Collection, some carefully chosen products will be available in the store. Things made from friends that are created with the same attitude and demanding of perfection as the beautiful watches are…

A weekend in beautiful exterior by nature and wonderful interior by Martin Hauser www.moebelhalle.ch
While traveling I like to stay in an apartment or at a bed&breakfast. I made some good experiences with airb’n’b but now I discovered the concept of Hotel Room. This idea is quite ambitious but in my eyes very refined -imagine a Hotel with every room in another city!
The Day starts with a Caffe at Tazza D’oro right next to the Villa Vilina Apartment in the beautiful Neighborhood Neve Tzedek. Neve Tzedek means “Oasis of Justice” and is the first Jewish neighborhood of Tel Aviv, founded in 1887, 22 years before the city of Tel Aviv was founded. From there a short walk brings you to old Jaffa with the Fleamarket and some really nice shops of young Israeli Designers. For Lunch or Drinks there are several Restaurants like La Charcuterie, the Puua Cafe or the best Humus at Abu-Hassan. To continue the day I suggest a walk along the beach to the DAN Hotel for an Apéro in a relaxed atmosphere with a great view. The city offers a lot of different quarters and moments, it is such a young city you really feel the moment of growth but the contrasts are big and the ideas seem very differing. The Cultural life is diverse and rich – we had the chance to meet Kamila an amazing singer and to see the Batsheva one of the worlds best dance companies at the Suzanne Dellal Centre.
In the evening the old Port is a nice place to enjoy dinner with a romantic sunset at the Container an open space for Art, Music and good Food. For a late night meal after some Arak shots, Wolfnights is the place to go…
There are many things to see besides Tel Aviv like the Desert and Dead Sea, Jerusalem or the Design Museum in Holon which is really worth a trip!
Thanks for a wonderful start into 2012.
Wednesday morning in Oerlikon with my big basket to fill up with all the fresh vegetables from www.haabwalser.ch and flowers for a long table. TAVOLATA TRE starts…
The Menu is set with lots of winter vegetables like beet root, savoy cabbage, fennel and of course my big pasta-bowl… At Viadukt I bought all the other things: Grappa, Cafe and Peppe at Berg und Tal, the most delicious Burrata as well as a piece of Le Cironé, one of my favorite cheeses at Tritt.
Some cooking hours later I was happy to welcome my guests in the warm atmosphere of Freiwerk and I enjoyed another wonderful evening with lots of good moments and talks. That is what it’s all about.
Grazie a tutti.
A wonderful train ride from Grad Central Station up north along the Hudson to Beacon, a small village with a great Art Foundation.
Dia:Beacon, Riggio Galleries, opened in 2003 as a museum to house its renowned permanent collection of major works of art from the 1960s to the present. Dia:Beacon occupies a nearly 300,000-square-foot historic printing factory. The galleries are vast and the collection is amazing. A truly inspiring trip to make a break from the hustle in NYC.
My favorite place for breakfast, lunch and dinner. A simple surprising seasonal cuisine in an industrial hospitable atmosphere with nice staff. Almost perfect – should just be in ZH not in NY… or I in NY not in ZH…
