3 hipster days in Vienna

Hey Phred, I think the link is behind a paywall….

Yes, yes, gift it please if you can. Even though the word hipster makes me shudder, I kind of want to read this.

Here is the article , without the paywall - https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2023/12/07/travel/things-to-do-vienna-austria.html?unlocked_article_code=1.Ek0.DUWv.6mtMlrOw1QTf&hpgrp=ar-abar&smid=url-share While The Times " 36 hours " articles , started out some years ago as having a more encompassing and diverse focus , it has essentially devolved into a focus on numerous places to eat and drink , While I like good food and drink as well as most travelers , I don't go to Europe with that as the main reason for a visit . This article is fun to read , but a visit to Vienna holds many more in depth experiences which are sadly absent from this piece . About par for the past several years of this series

Thanks, steven.

I'll try again

Japanese food must be the "it" cuisine for yuppies in Vienna. When I asked the baristas of two trendy cafes for restaurant recommendations, both of them pointed me to Japanese restaurants.

In a way, I can understand why Austrians like Japanese food. Austrian food tends to be heavier with lots of red meat, while Japanese food is the polar opposite.

Folks may enjoy the Vienna WÜRSTEL Stand newsletter.

Or maybe not. The lead article at the moment seems to be 10 Things We Really Hate about Vienna's Christmas Markets. Haha.
