The Sign Lounge – Fantastic cocktails in Alsergrund
"The Sign Lounge" in Vienna is a true local gem of a bar. I'm not a cocktail guy, but the ones they make here are my favourites. Twice voted as Best...

Skopik & Lohn – Chic and artsy in the 2nd district
"Skopik & Lohn" Vienna is a fancy fine dining restaurant with a modern touch of artsy to top the ambience; chic & traditional at the same time defines it.

Weinbar Schwirtz – Cozy wine bar near Volksoper
"Weinbar Schwirtz" is definitely one of the most cozy and welcoming wine bars in Vienna. If there was a place to be a local, this one's it!

WUK – Craft beer & music venue in a train factory
The "WUK"(Werkstätten- und Kulturhaus) Vienna - full of open-minded and creative people, a unique cross between a gastropub, a beergarden & a music venue!

Pizza Quartier – Pizza on the Karmalitermarkt
"Pizza Quartier" in Vienna's Karmelitermarket makes some of the best pizza in the city. Its ambience is also very attractive. I wish it stayed open longer.

Stadtcafe Vienna – Freyung people watching
"Stadtcafe Vienna" is smack in the middle of the beautiful, ancient Freyung square. I do believe this is the best cafe for people watching in the centre.

Vollpension – Oma's cakes on parade
"Vollpension" in Vienna is a delightful concept. The restaurant looks pretty standard, but the food is cooked by very active Omas - grandmothers!

Artis Kino – English language cinema in Altbau
"Artis Kino" in Vienna is my favourite cinema to go watch original versions of English and foreign films - a gem of a theatre, built in a classic house...

About me
About me
I am a born and raised Californian who wandered to Europe initially to Ireland for college and then again for a job in 2008 and stuck around, first in Switzerland and now in Austria.
I love language, travel, and culture and spending time with people from as many different places as possible.
Travel to me is more than a feet-only wading pool, but something to dive as deeply into as time and resources allow. Perhaps that is why I end up staying longer in the places I go to.
Why Vienna?
Vienna is an absolute amazing place to live, almost even more so than to visit. The sheer pleasantness of the city and day-to-day life is a pleasure.
Everything from the cafes to the countless parks, to even enjoying how well the public transportation works, I recommend any visitor to at least spend a day or so trying to emulate the locals. Vienna's value truly shines when you take it in as a local.
