The other day I joined a queue. I wasn’t sure what it was for, but I patiently stood at the back as it snaked its way through the city, stretching as far as the airport. Was it the queue for airport security? Was I paying my respects to the Queen of England? It turns out I’d joined the queue for Gelateria Di Berna, a queue that was apparently visible from the Artemis capsule. In fact, they said it was ‘ard t’ miss! Maybe our future will be decided by competing queues and soon «The Bernas» will be negotiating an end to hostilities with the Mit & Ohne queue crew.

Queueing aside, I have some tips that will require minimal waiting. Some great music, cinema and shopping. And there is a lovely new café open in Wiedikon. Have a great weekend and…

Climate cynicism? When your friends casually mention they are off to foreign climes every available holiday and Landiwiese looks more like landfill after a warm summer’s day, you might be forgiven for being a little bit cynical.

That is why Tanzhaus Zürich are hosting a monthly series of events using creativity as a means for environmental change. Tonight, Zamzam Ibrahim and Farah Ahmed challenge climate cynicism with laughter and, understandably, a little bit of rage.

Thursday, 6 pm, Bühne 2, Tanzhaus Zürich, Wasserwerkstrasse 129, 8037

After an evening of discussing the environment, you are probably going to need a drink. Fortunately, for beer lovers at least, we have the Zürich Beer Festival, which will be taking place in Altstetten on Friday and Saturday. Lots of local breweries are represented and you have the opportunity to sample brews from as far afield as Canada, South Korea and even Ukraine. If anyone deserves a good beer, it’s those guys.

Friday and Saturday, 4 pm, Hotel Spirgarten, Lindenplatz 5, 8048

Eye Candy von Alemundana

Schiwago, with its natural awning, was a bit of a Wiedikon institution. But things change and move on. The green canopy has gone and the French bistro style has been replaced with a bright, clean, new feel. I popped into et cetera, Zurich’s newest café, to find out what was on the menu.

You don’t need to be on board Artemis II, or even Jeff Bezos' sex toy shaped rocket to enjoy a pretty view of the stars (and you can skip squeezing your meals out of a toothpaste tube). With the online star map from Stellarium Web, the secrets of the night sky open up to you: enter your location and it shows you all the planets and constellations above. Perfect for showing off your astronomical knowledge on a first date under the open sky.
