9. Trams. Although there are no schedules and it is vague how to buy tickets, it is incredibly efficient. Never have to wait more than 10 minutes for the next tram. And they always have decent street food nearby. More on this in a sec.
some late night tram action. Evie has become a pro.
8. The Rat Haus food court scene. Every night a crowd shows up to watch movies on an outdoor screen and drink and feast on food vendor cuisine. Best part - they serve food on PLATES and drinks in GLASSES. No styrofoam!
the scene at the Rat Hausplatz at the Ottakringer bar.
7. Schnitzel! As big as your head!
from an episode of "Man vs. Food"
6. Döner Kebap Sandwiches. (It's a chicken gyro. There is a stand at almost every train stop.)
Waiting for a tram with what else - a Döner sandwich!
5. Nascht Markt. (the big public market. Can you say cheese stuffed peppers? Chanterelle mushrooms for $5 a pound? Pour your own balsamic vinegar?)
fancy vinegar sold by the milliliter at the Nascht
4. Bier. Not as good as German swill, but better than Coors Light, it's ever present, and it's certainly acceptable to have a cold one in the early part of the day. In public. When will the US adopt this fine habit?
nothing like having a beer on a stroll with the baby. Before NOON.Ottokringer anyone?
3. Cafes. They are everywhere. No drip coffee here folks - only the good stuff - espresso and cappuccinos.
espresso baby. But don't be in a rush. Nobody's putting this in a paper cup for you.
2. Mozart. His presence is everywhere. From chocolate balls to guys dressed like him hawking tickets to the opera. He is der Mann about town!
Who is this guy? He's everywhere!
1. Vienna is The Wurst! (aka sausage). Like the Döner stands, they are at every train stop. Get it two ways, sliced on a plate, or "takeaway" hot dog style, where they puncture a hole in a foot long roll and cram the sausage inside. No more eating sideways. Genius. I think they'd sell more Fenway Franks if they served them this way.
Like i said. Old stuff. Everywhere.
