While being at University Kutschkermarkt in the 18th district kind of became “my hood” – the department of my studies was situated there and I knew the market from walking up in the morning (ok, it was communication sciences – I rarely had lectures in the morning) und walking down to the Bim on my way home. But back then I didn´t pay much attention in the market and as far as I remember it wasn´t very interesting – we preferred to spend our free time at the one and only “Café Schopenhauer” or get something to eat at the small supermarket.
Last week I passed Kutschkermarket for the first time since graduation and was astonished on how hip the area has become! It´s an organic market now, there is an huge selection of legumes, fruits and other really nice other foodie stuff.
