Friday Fun
25 April 2004 23:08 americana, germanyFriday I ate lunch for the first time at the Hard Rock Cafe here in Munich. An American friend of mine who also lives in Munich and I were in the mood for a hamburger and that is as good of a place as any to get a semi-authentic American hamburger here in Munich. It was a nice day and we had a good time sitting outside watching the tourists stroll by.
Later that afternoon I bought a new pair of Birkenstocks. From the amount of Americans I encountered at both the Hard Rock and the shoe store, I have come to the conclusion that must be what Americans do when they come to Munich: Eat at the Hard Rock Cafe and buy Birkenstocks. Not that I was any better, but hey, at least I live here!

For burgers and Americana, and I don’t know how practical this is for you, I’d recommend the “Gerner” which is on the U1 at, oh, the Friedhof, the stop after Gern travelling Stadt auswarts - it used to be the last stop on that line, but they’ve extended it. When I lived in Munich I always used to go there to get my “fix”.
