some Jewish humor thrown in for good measure moshe goes to the rabbi and asks “Is black a color?” And the rabbi says “Yes it is my son.” So Moshe asks “Is white a color too?” “Yes it is my son.” So Moshe says “Do me a favor and tell David I sold him a color TV.” The next stop this evening is the Cafe King this former filling station has now become a bastion of Munich nightife and they’re still

they made sure it really was the queen’s child and no one else’s your weekend is drawing to a close the beautiful palace grounds are a great place to digest your impressions of this wonderful city goodbye Munich and see you for your next weekend [Music]
Munich is one of the most beautiful destinations in Germany. The Bavarian capital is immediately appealing, with its relaxed atmosphere and magnificent architecture. Hardly surprising that it‘s known as the northernmost city of Italy.
Weekend Munich presents the perfect selection for a weekend full of art, tradition, opposites and Munich originals. Starting with the historic old town and the fascinating Viktualienmarkt food market, we head to the highly individual Glockenbach neighbourhood, a hotspot packed with interesting shops and comfortable cafés like the Aroma. This area also has a lot to offer in terms of fashion, such as the designer duo Talbot Runhof. These hugely significant figures in the German fashion scene design dreamy, feminine gowns, and they dress celebrities such as Barbara Schöneberger and Nina Ruge for the red carpet.
From here Weekend Munich heads off to one the biggest parks in the world: the Englisher Garten. As well as enjoying one of the most beautiful beer gardens in the city, the Seehaus, we can also take a look at an artificial wave facility: the “surf wave” is a perfect place for committed surfers to practice, and naturally it’s also a magnet for interested spectators.
No visit to the city would be complete without a trip to the Hofbräuhaus, where famous figures including Austrian Empress Sissi, Mozart und Lenin used to relax. The famous brewery is far more original than its reputation would suggest, and in the mornings, over a “white sausage breakfast”, it’s striking how many of the original inhabitants of the city have been regulars here for years.
The best way to conclude a trip to Munich is perhaps a visit to the most beautiful castle in the capital of Bavaria. The Schloss Nymphenburg, with its airy, enchanting architecture, is one of the most historical places in town, and the grounds provide the perfect setting to reflect upon the impression that Munich has made this weekend.
