Hans Hummel Figures
by weewatty
Dotted around the City Centre you will see these wee glass fibre figures in loads of different designs.
Seems this wee dude is the mascot of the city and there are 100 of him all designed by artists and most carrying a theme, they are sponsored by hotels, businesses etc and add a colourful addition to the centre of the city.
AOL Arena
by Carletto76
The AOL Arena (formely know as VolksparkStadion) is Hamburg HSV football team stadium. It's really a very nice stadium, for about 55,000 people.
Inside the stadium there is the HSV Museum and one of the 3 HSV fan-shops.
In front of it there's the Color Line Arena, a smaller (and roof-closed) sports building for hockey and other sports matches.
Hamburg's crazy nightlife!
by Carletto76 about St. Pauli and Reeperbahn
Everyone knows anything about the Reeperbahn and the nearby streets in the St.Pauli district. Going there by day it's an horrible street, but at night it's full of people walking up and down among sex-shops, night clubs, disco-bars and so on. You can find any place you like in this zone and there are surely many ways to enjoy your nightlife in here!
Sex is not a "tabu" at all here and if you want, you can really practice a lot! ;-)
-Try the 'Kartoffelkeller'...
by chatzchen
-Try the 'Kartoffelkeller' near the Michel Church (Deichstr. 21. They have various type of potatoes.
-At the 'Grönninger' Brauhaus (Ost West Str. 47) and Restaurant you can enjoy very good homebrewed Beer!
-For small hunger try a 'Fallafel Sandwich' for 5,- DM at 'Al Pasha' Egyptian Restaurant (Hoheluftchaussee)
-Good food in the 'Factory' Pub and Restaurant (Hoheluftchaussee 95), I mostly like their Chilli and the California Salat with a very good Curry Dressing.
- Try the 'Madrid' a very good Spanish and Portuguese Restaurant at the Grindelallee 69 .
-Very good Brunch at the 'September' which is Feldstr. 60 near the Heiligengeistfeld, Telefon: 43 76 11. Brunch will start Sunday morning at 10am until 2pm, cost ~23,- DM, it is good to make a reservation.
-Brunch at 'Max & Consorten' Spadenteich 7, Telefon: 24 56 17, near Hauptbahnhof North every Sundays for ~10,- DM
-Breakfast Buffet at 'Alex Brasserie' weekday for 9,90 DM Weekend Brunch.
-In Wandsbek a very good Portuguese Restaurant is the 'El Pulpo' in the Wandsbeker Zollstraße 25. They have wonderful fish dishes.
- Hamburg has a lot of good Restaurants, I could recommend much more. If you like you should try the Hamburger national-dish calles 'Labskaus' a mix of Potatoes, corned beef and some vegetable called 'rote Beete' and one fried egg on top. It is not my favourite dish but some people like it.
