The Cocoon is the name of the distinctive, solitary building next to Bahnhof Tiefenbrunnen. Even though it’s striking and has lake views, it’s been empty for some time now. But that will change: Danica Thalmann und Philipp Brunner – founders of the platform jackinthebox.ch - will reuse the space temporarily. The countdown ticks and today a new pop up restaurant «La Tavolata» will pop up, serving Mediterranean cuisine on one large communal table. Fixed menu price: 95 francs per person (excluding drinks).
Seefeldstrasse 287, 8008. Opening hours: 15 October until 19 December 2015, Thursday to Saturday from 7 pm

Finally, the Maroni stalls are here. I love these roasted chestnuts: so sweet and warm. As the vendors of each stall often change every season I won't be able to tell you which sells the best ones. Generally they all sell more or less the same quality, but I can certainly recommend the couple at Albisriederplatz and Ruth at Bucheggplatz. While Maroni are nice as a snack, caramelized chestnuts are probably my favourite side dish, served with venison, which is in season during winter in most restaurants. So enjoy the old chestnut. It's also supposed to be healthy.

Often, we throw away things that could be useful to someone else. At least that’s what the founders of Regalo thought. Their app allows you to post all things you don’t want any more as a give-away, sorted by area. You post it – someone else picks it up.

A wonderful short film by Terri Timely and Park Pictures, in which input and output don’t always match.
