A perfect day in the life of
Katharina Pfeifer
The day begins
My favourite way to start the day is with a good cup of coffee and cinnamon Danish at Café No. 48 — the best in the world, if you ask me. Friedberger Platz is the best place to enjoy the treat. It’s a great spot to watch the comings and goings in Frankfurt-Nordend and to stock up on produce at Friday’s organic market. Come the evening, the market transforms into a hangout for locals sampling good regional wines.
— Café No. 48. Rotlintstrasse 48.
Midday
At lunch I tend to pick up Oriental specialities from the Picknick Café in Bornheim. I then head over to Lohrberg, a listed heritage site in Frankfurt. To get there, I take the bus towards Bergen Ost, which leaves every 10 minutes. Then I take a short constitutional, which I think earns me my lunch. Arriving at the top of Lohrberg hill, you can enjoy a splendid view of the city of Frankfurt and the surrounding region. A delicious ice cream from Eis Christina is a definite must on the way back into town.

Evenings
I stop off at Berger Street food for some fusion-style sushi before continuing over to the English Theatre in Frankfurt’s Bahnhofsviertel to see excellent anglophone culture. After the play, I stop off at one of the many typical watering holes dotted around the city to pick up a last beer for the way home. It makes the journey altogether more relaxing. Pizzeria Schlaflos 2 would be my first port of call if anyone is still peckish. The restaurant serves tasty pizzas until midnight, including a vegan selection.
