Zurich (EN) : Thursday 06.11.08: Films, concerts & brunch

 
 
Film Festival
 
  Short Film Festival: There are at least four reasons to visit Winterthur: 1. the photo museum 2. the music festival weeks 3. the Winterthur football club and its fans 4. and now the International Short Film Festival, with this year’s special guest country Israel. I have three pairs of tickets to give away to short film aficionados.
5.-9. November

Shopping
 
Change of seasons: often requires a few new clothes. Garments from young designers at Mississippi at Kernstrasse 31 – and if you tell them you're a Ron Orp reader, you can enter a draw for goodies. I also have 40-franc vouchers to give away. Or try Zurich label Alprausch’s sales at Binzstrasse 25 for winter gear for low prices along with sound, sausages and drinks.
Mississippi 6.-8.11
Alprausch 7.-8.11

Anniversary
 
 Happy Birthday: Zukunft celebrates its 3rd anniversary with highlights from recent years. Saturday’s programme features live concerts by Zurich’s own Demolition Blues and American songwriting legend Chris Harford, topped off with resident DJs Grau, Kalabrese and Kay-Zee.
Saturday 9.30 pm, Zukunft
 
 
 
Reggae Concert
 
Jamaica groove: Drummer Lowell Dunbar and bass player Robbie Shakespeare, better known collectively as Sly & Robbie or The Riddim Twins, have been supplying the rhythm for several pop-stars and the most famous reggae artists since the 70s. Their concert at Rote Fabrik features Cherine Anderson and I bet you won't be able to stand still.
Saturday 9 pm, Rote Fabrik
 
 
 
Football
 
  Zurich vs Zurich: Once again the two local top-league football clubs play each other. Let's hope the fans learned their lesson from spring when fines for vandalism totalled 12,400 francs. Of course I hope that FCZ beats GC, lest Basel have a chance to steal the Swiss Championship from Zurich this year.
Sunday 4 pm, Letzigrund
stadium
 
 
 
Midweek affair
 
Sound of music: I like nothing better than a concert during the week and thankfully Zurich has picked up on that, so this Wednesday there are three concerts worth seeing: 1. The Chap from London at Hafenkneipe, 2. The Streets from Birmingham at Rote Fabrik and 3. Roy And The Devils Motorcycle from Switzerland at Zukunft.
8.45 pm, Hafenkneipe
8.30 pm, Rote Fabrik
9 pm, Zukunft
 
 
 
Good to know
 
  Let's do brunch: The number of Zurich brunch venues has grown rapidly over the last few years. So here’s a selection that should cover whatever you’re looking for.
Trendy: Kafischnaps, unfortunately, the local is always crowded at weekends, so book ahead. Maison Blunt from Moroccan to traditional and Si o No, one of the most beautiful bars in Zurich in my opinion. Classic: Caredda serves the best Italian coffee, Sprüngli for a delicacy brunch, Schoffel for freshly baked cakes. Child- friendly: Kafi für Dich, a stylish and cozy restaurant but with a children's corner. Ziegel oh Lac, the courtyard of Rote Fabrik offers a lot of space for children to run around. Hangover cures: El Greco serves great coffee and a very good club sandwich. La Perla, one of the ugliest cafés in Zurich but the staff is friendly and the cheese ham toast with eggs is great. New Point for a kebab and a can or two of coke. For more choices see my latest PDF-magazine - only in German though, sorry!
