SHOP YOURSELF HAPPY IN GERMANY
Kauf Dich Glücklich (shop yourself happy) situated in the bigger German cities as Berlin, Bremen, Munster, Stuttgart and Hamburg offer not only the best Waffles and Ice cream but also have an extensive clothing collection of Berlin and Scandinavian designers.
The shop in Hamburg that opened in 2009, unfortunately, does not provide you with the delicious waffles and Ice cream (go to Berlin for that!) but the beautiful white shop full with Scandinavian designer clothes keeps you inside for a long while anyway. The neighbourhood Schanzenviertel also provides enough other stores, nice cafes or lunch places to boost you with new energy .

IPHONE APPLICATION HIGHLIGHTS: TINTORERIA DONTELL, BARCELONA
We like sharing secrets… and this one is one of those that when you know about the secret it is still uncertain if you are able to find it once you are in the city! If you are able to find it, enjoy the food!
Like something out of a spy movie, “Tintoreria Dontell” is (for want of less clichéd term) one of the best kept secrets in town. Run by restaurant group, Urban Secrets, the restaurant is cloaked behind an old drycleaners, whose shopfront does nothing to betray the hip restaurant out back. Only those in the know will be ushered through a cachéd entrance (with finger print authorization an occasional, cheeky requirement).
We recommend the Design Hotels™ iPhone City Guide App to guide you to Tintoreria Dontell or other nice places in Barcelona!
