36 Hours: Hamburg, Germany 36 Hours: Hamburg, Germany 36 Hours: Hamburg, Germany BY FRANK BRUNI JAN. 19, 2012 NEUER WALL, A STREET LINED WITH LUXURY SHOPS. DJAMILA GROSSMAN FOR THE NEW YORK TIMES NO one tells you how pretty Hamburg is. That’s because so few people mention Hamburg in the first place. American tourists and businesspeople gravitate toward other German cities: Berlin, Munich, Frankfurt. And so Hamburg, bigger than all but Berlin, remains a bit of a mystery, poised to become a thrilling discovery. Did you know about the lake? It’s smack dab in the city center and skirted by regal buildings, a postcard-ready tableau if there ever was one. And the canals? They lattice the part of the city nearest the Elbe River, allowing Hamburg to joust with Stockholm, Amsterdam and Bruges for informal rights to call itself the Venice of northern Europe. Hamburg in winter is cold and often gray. No getting around that. But the indoors migration of many Hamburg residents gives the city a quiet and peace that I relished on a recent visit. Sure, the blustery weather persuaded me to skip the lake ferries and Elbe cruises By FRANK BRUNI JAN. 19, 2012 PagePage 1! of !1 !6 of" !6" https://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/22/travel/36-hours-hamburg-germany.html 36 Hours: Hamburg, Germany recommended in summertime. But it wasn’t an obstacle to appreciating Hamburg’s formidable charms. Friday 1. 4:30 p.m. SIGHTS AND SHOPS Plant yourself in front of the Rathaus, Hamburg’s stunning architectural centerpiece and, fittingly, city hall. A neo-Renaissance-style sandstone structure, it sprawls and swirls across an entire city block, offering a first hint of Hamburg’s longstanding vanity and ambition. Hamburg is not only a major port but also the capital of Germany’s news media and one of its wealthiest cities, with more gilt than grit. You’ll appreciate this as you walk north from the Rathaus to Jungfernstieg, a majestic thoroughfare that faces the central lake, Binnenalster. From there zig-zag among the narrower streets to the south and west, sizing up the luxury shops and well-heeled shoppers around Neuer Wall, in particular. Pause along Alsterarkaden, a Venetian- style arcade of shops and cafes along a broad canal. 2. 7:30 p.m. TEARS OVER CAVIAR For an old-fashioned dining experience that’s a pampering hoot, splurge on Cölln’s (Brodschrangen 1-5; 49-40-36-41-53; coellns-restaurant.de), a Hamburg institution with colorful tiled floors, immaculately painted wainscoting and tiny rooms with only one to three tables each and doors that close tightly between servers’ visits. You’re given a button to buzz the help. There’s such a lulling sense of intimacy that the lone couple in the room with my companion and me had a fight, complete with tears and make-up kissing. Perhaps all the vodka with their caviar played a part. Seafood is a Cölln’s specialty, and dinner for two with wine costs €175 to €225 (or $218 to $280, at $1.25 to the euro). We had wonderful oysters (€3.80 each), luscious lobster bisque (€14.80), excellent Dover sole (€52) and sensational wiener schnitzel (€26.80). 3. 10 p.m. AFTER-HOURS LAIR If Cölln’s connects you with the past, Le Lion (Rathausstrasse 3; 49-40-33-47-53-78) tugs you into the present. Just a few blocks away, it’s a stylish, cozy lounge with all the tropes of contemporary cocktail culture: boutique spirits, classic glassware, ambiguously marked entrance. Press a tiny doorbell in the mouth of a lion’s head, and only if there’s space — or if you’ve made a reservation — are you allowed inside a plush room with felt wallpaper, dim lighting and superb drinks, served past 4 a.m. if the demand warrants it. Try the “gin smash” (€13), made with fresh basil, and Le Coquetiez de Lion (€9.50), a mix of gin, Lillet Blanc and bitters garnished with a By FRANK BRUNI JAN. 19, 2012 PagePage 2! of !2 !6 of" !6" https://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/22/travel/36-hours-hamburg-germany.html 3636 Hours: Hours: Hamburg, Hamburg, Germany Germany lime twist that’s more lime corkscrew, its many intricate turns a declaration of the care with which the fastidiously suited bartenders work. THE RATHAUS, AN ARCHITECTURAL CENTERPIECE THAT SPRAWLS ACROSS A CITY BLOCK. DJAMILA GROSSMAN FOR THE NEW YORK TIMES Saturday 4. 10 a.m. STROLL ACROSS BORDERS A counterpoint to the upscale shopping district near the Rathaus is the scruffier, cheekier, more ethnically diverse craft stores, galleries and cafes along Lange Reihe, in the St. George neighborhood. Here you’ll find Chinese, Portuguese and Italian restaurants; terrific German bread; Tibetan art; and bulky Himalayan woolens. Start by fueling yourself at a marble table in the shag-carpeted back room at Cafe Gnosa (Lange Reihe 93; 49-40-24-30-34; gnosa.de), an amusing place for breakfast (about €25 By FRANK BRUNI JAN. 19, 2012 Page 3! of !6" Page !3 of !6" https://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/22/travel/36-hours-hamburg-germany.html 36 Hours: Hamburg, Germany for two), coffee and desserts — try the ethereal cheesecake (€3). As you cover the five or so blocks from Gnosa back toward Binnenalster lake, note the inadvertently hilarious New Age redoubt Kräuterhaus (Lange Reihe 70, 49-40-24-93-56; kraeuterhaus.net), which sells spices and teas along with illuminated Himalayan salt crystals, which, an employee told us, “clear the air of ionic smog.” 5. Noon A LILLIPUTIAN WORLD The humdrum entrance to the Miniatur Wunderland (Kehrwieder 2-4; miniatur- wunderland.com) and the drab rooms that house it don’t prepare you for this eccentric museum’s singular collection of model train scenes. Lilliputian locomotives move through mountains, forests, seacoasts and cities that replicate parts of Germany, Scandinavia and even America. Watch miniature figures flick on miniature lighters as they stand before a miniature concert stage with miniature portable toilets nearby. (Admission, €12 for adults, €6 for children, €10 for seniors.)\ 6. 1:30 p.m. GLORIOUS GLASS From Miniatur Wonderland, head south a few blocks and over several canals into HafenCity, an urban construction project of dazzling heft and quality. A little more than a decade ago Hamburg decided to repurpose nearly 400 acres of docklands on the Elbe as a commercial, residential and recreational district that would increase the city center’s size by 40 percent and showcase mesmerizing glass towers. In a watery area of about 15 square blocks are stunning examples of contemporary architecture, including apartment buildings with jagged, terraced exteriors; the ship-like Unilever building (Strandkai 1); and the Elbphilharmonie, or philharmonic, at the western point of Am Kaiserkai, a deliberately lopsided, wavy, spectacular monument of what looks like frosted glass. 7. 3 p.m. TEA TIME Break up your amble through HafenCity with a stop at Messmer Momentum (Am Kaiserkai 10; messmer-momentum.de), a teahouse and tea museum that honors Hamburg’s role as the port through which much of Europe’s tea has flowed. There are hundreds of teas for sampling or sale; an enchanting gift shop with tea paraphernalia and exotically flavored candies to be dissolved in tea; and a sleek cafe with a wall of windows and wood deck overlooking a canal.

DJAMILA GROSSMAN FOR THE NEW YORK TIMES 8. 7 p.m. ALTITUDE AND ATTITUDE A fashionable place for cocktails is 20Up, on the 20th floor of the Empire Riverside Hotel (Bernhard-Nocht-Strasse 97; 49-40-31-1190; empire-riverside.de), but drinks aren’t its real glory. The view is. The bar, with walls of glass, overlooks the Elbe, and as you survey the ships and docks and cranes, you get a sense of Hamburg’s maritime might. Walk to the northeast corner and you can see the pulsing neon of the Reeperbahn, the city’s famous red-light district. 9. 9 p.m. NOT FOR VEGANS For a festive atmosphere, handsome crowd and superior beef, pork and more, Bullerei (Lagerstrasse 34b; 49-40-33-44-2-110; bullerei.com) hits the bull’s-eye. Apart from a wine bar, the restaurant is one enormous industrial-chic room, with walls of concrete and exposed brick. Fleshy atmospheric motifs include a display window of hanging beef and a thick piece of transparent plastic over each menu that evokes the vertical strips in the doorway of a meat locker. There’s fish here, too, along with salads and such, all deftly prepared. Dinner for two with beer or wine is about €110; reservations are recommended.

It’s a Baroque gem that’s also a monument to resilience, having rebounded from, and been rebuilt after, lightning, fire and World War II bombing. And its white-and-gold interior makes you feel as if you’re inside a royal wedding cake. Be sure to glance up at the most colossal of several pipe organs.

    Port of San Francisco Embarcadero Historic District Piers Request for Interest In this Request for Interest (RFI), the Port is seeking responses with public-oriented concepts for sites in the Embarcadero Historic District in two categories: (1) Full building(s) or "Master Tenant" Responses or (2) Less than full building or "Smaller Tenant" Responses. Respondents in the Master Tenant category have a vision for entire buildings, including one or more structures named in this RFI. Master Tenant respondents have the experience to execute a complex rehabilitation project for an historic structure over water and to operate such a facility under a long-term lease. Respondents in the Smaller Tenant category are experienced in operating the proposed use and in managing a tenant improvement construction project.

  • Miniatur Wunderland Arriva Su Google Street View Di Redazione
    da News modellismo del 15 gennaio 2016 Miniatur Wunderland arriva su Google Street View di Redazione Anche il mondo dei treni in miniatura arriva su Google Street View. Da pochi giorni il grande plastico Miniatur Wunderland di Amburgo è "visitabile" virtualmente in ogni minimo particolare comodamente da casa attraverso la funzione Street View di Google. Per un anno intero lo staff di Google e di Miniatur Wunderland hanno sperimentato diversi sistemi per fotografare nel migliore dei modi il più grande plastico ferroviario al mondo, ospitato negli ex magazzini portuali di Amburgo, nella Germania del nord. Il risultato lascia a bocca aperta con immagini panoramiche a 360° che restituiscono visuali dell'impianto impossibili per il comune visitatore con prospettive da "Wunderlanders" in 1:87! L'interno del terminal aeroportuale di Knuffingen o ancora Las Vegas Boulevard svelano i dettagli più nascosti ed invisibili da fuori, ma non per questo riprodotti con minore dovizia di particolari; non sono da meno la stazione di Amburgo, gli angoli della Baviera, i paesaggi invernali della Scandinavia e della Svizzera, ma soprattutto le linee ferroviarie su cui è possibile "viaggiare", immagine dopo immagine, con la visuale del macchinista in H0!
