Best Bavarian cuisine in Hamburg?

Can you tell us a “secret spot” where to find nice clothing/accessory items?
I always find some inspirations and hidden style gems in the second-hand shop „Kleiderrausch“ (Eulenstraße 85 in Ottensen) or if I take some time to walk around Schanze. I also love to stop by at “The Golden Age” in the shop ALL MY FRIENDS to see what Anna has brought in. This year, I bought my absolute favorite floral bomber jacket at her shop. Tip by Tanja .
Where in Hamburg do you go when you’re homesick?
Honestly, I turn to American TV when I am homesick. Those who know me know that I have a huge list of shows that I’ve (binge)-watched and can recommend. I’ll publish that list soon… Starbucks is the next best thing. I can’t pass a Starbucks (“4 bucks”) without stopping in. Tip by Shelley

Favorite place to meet new people in HH:
I usually get to know people online. It is not that easy just to go somewhere and talk to people. I use Youpooly App on my mobile phone.

I have learned many people in this way and attended many private and exclusive events which actually would not be possible without Youpooly. I can recommend it to everybody: www.youpooly.com .Tip by Violetta

Best place in HH for when you’re homesick:
In such situations we usually search for some places familiar with our hometowns. I am from St. Petersburg: a big port and a city of bridges. Therefore I search for water. It does not matter if it is the sea, a river or a lake. I go there. Tip by Violetta
The best place for me is near to the water. I love to look at water, it always calms me down when I am nervous and cheers me up when I am sad. In Hamburg it’s really easy to find water — the Elbe river or the Alster. I love to sit next to the water and just observe the waves and listen to the splashing. Tip by Marta

Most erotic place in Hamburg :
“Watching the sun go down with a hot guy and a glass of Sauvignon Blanc at the Elbe. Nice hotel bars like the one at The George are also very good places to tickle my imagination. But only during the week while businessmen and women are hanging out. By Ingeborg
My ultimate tip for erotic beginners: the Boutique Bizarre at Reeperbahn is a very sexy place with lovely clothes, toys, books and lots of other stuff to get in the mood. But the best place will hopefully always be your own imagination.” By Ingeborg
