With its central location on the Naschmarkt-area, Linke Wienzeile 22, the Cafe Drechsler attracts a diverse crowd of night clubbers, tourists and yuppies. Serving traditional Viennese cuisine and coffee like mostley in Vienna, the Drechsler stands out because they open 23 hours daily. So in the early hours this coffeeshop turns into a big after-hour place with sometimes famous dj's on the turntables and so it is more famous for its after-hours parties with the Viennese party scene as for the traditional history of the house.
Few years ago the legendary cafe was also stylishly new created by British designer Sir Terence Conran.
So I guess I will see you at the next afterhour!
Austria's largest flea market is the one at the Vienna Naschmarkt (leave the U4 at Kettenbrückengasse Station). This takes place every Saturday from 6am to 6pm. Because of the size it's a great opportunity for collectors and bargain hunters. You will find second-hand antique and rare books & records, pictures, dishes, jewelery, fashion, furniture - some very well conserved and some real junk.
Around the flea market there are many restaurants, cafes and a food-market offering international cuisine. When the sun is shining it's the perfect saturday afternoon with friends to go bargain hunting and end the afternoon at a cafe.
I even got myself a beautiful Junghans watch for only 10 €. The classic design from the 60's excited me. I know everyone wants the 80's casio watches, or the colorful bright swatch watches in the 90's look. However, these classically simple watch, probably an allusion to the famous Cartier Tank, is from now on my interpreatation to uniqe retro look.
