Another full moon has come and gone this week, and November heads to an end. We're all wrapped up and cosy at home, figuring out the best glühwein and hot chocolate recipes. Maybe some of us are planning trips back to family and friends. Despite the cold, i think it's a rather nice time of year. So, no matter the time of day you read this, i hope you have a nice mug of something warm. I've got some shopping tips for you and some cool events, so settle in, have a good week and as always,

Give my love to the city.

Where did November go? Don't ask me. But as we wind down and head towards the end of the year, i've still got quite few things on the horizon. There's of course the gig listicle, as well as a couple art fairs, some fine dining and a chance to find your next favourite poster.

Thursday: A late trip to the museum
Thursday: The Sonic Matter festival begins
Saturday: Shopping for poster lovers
Saturday: Double art market
Monday: Alba Pizza kicks of «Share a Slice Series»
Tuesday: The Brand New Heavies play Kaufleuten

When you think of British soul/funk the two names that immediately spring to mind are Incognito and The Brand New Heavies. Last month Incognito played the JazzNoJazz and this coming Tuesday BNH play at the Kaufleuten. Bring your dancing shoes for what is certain to be a hit filled, groovy night.

As Autumn turns to winter you’d expect the gigs to dry up, right! Wrong! There’s loads going on this month and whilst there isn’t quite as much as October and November there’s still plenty of opportunity to check out a show. Have fun!

So Ronsters, i once again spoke to the bookseller’s at the local English bookshop Pile of Books in Wiedikon. They know that with the holiday season coming up, people are scrambling to find something. They’ve compiled a list for me of some great cookbook ideas to give that foodie novice, amateur or expert in your family. So don’t put your gift shopping on the backburner. Take a look at these and try not to salivate. Click the buttons for the list!
