Vietnamese New Year @ FEZ

The Vietnamese Community of Berlin celebrates the Têt festival this weekend, roughly equivalent to Rosh Haschanah (or New Year's). But neither German Jews nor the German Christians have fancy dragons to show off. The FEZ will celebrate the Têt with the largest East-Asian community in Berlin, and with you, too.

Israeli Brunch with Puppet Theater on Sunday

On Sunday, Bambinim will be offering brunch for families in the "Western" branch on Brandenburgischer Str. The brunch will also include puppet theater for younger kids, cooking class for older kids and massage for parents (details).

International Restaurant Day

The "Internation Restaurant Day" has nothing to do with established restaurants. It is rather a special social event, in which anyone can open a pop-up restaurant and feed the masses with their delicacies. You can be a restaurateur for a day, or just visit one. See on their homepage.
