Cocktail Time...
by steventilly
The Caipirinha cocktail is VERY popular not only here but in all of Germany - and yet we never heard of it back home.
It's Cachaca spirit (a sort of white rum) with a lot of limes, coarse brown sugar and a lot of crushed ice. Totally delicious.

Maybe the best Sushi in town
by IceBear7 about Na Ni Wa
Düsseldorf is full of Japanese restaurants and sushi places, because so many Japanese people live in our city. My fav place for sushi is Na Ni Wa sushi and more. Quite small, on two floors, nice staff, plain interior with interesting photographs on the wall and most of all - great food!
Across the street there is the Na Ni Wa noodles and soups, which is an open kitchen with just a few tables, it's always full, many Japanese people go there (sign of quality), you often have to queue, but the noodles are great! They have a huge menu with single "pieces" of sushi and some "pre-packed" plates (just the right amount, one piece of sushi more would be too much), soups and some other dishes. Everything seems very fresh, very tasty, there is Japanese beer and tea and cocktails.
You better make a reservation if you come with a bigger group of people.
Visit Die Altstadt (the Old Town)
by BillNJ
The Düsseldorfer Altstadt is known as the longest bar in the world because this small area of the city contains over 300 bars, pubs, and nightclubs. VTers Sabs and Thomas gave me a tour of the area during the daytime when it is much less crowded. In addition to the nightlife, the Altstadt also has some notable landmarks including the Basilica St. Lambertus and the old Rathaus (city hall). There are also some residences with interesting ornamentation like the one in the photo.
Church and prehistoric men
by DanielF
The Neander church is a small evangelic church with a quiet front garden in the heart of the Altstadt.
There are ocasional organ concerts in this church. Not in vain, it is named after Joachim Neander, famous composer of religious hymns that revolutioned the way psalms were sung in the protestant church.
Cusiously, Mr Neander also gave its name to the famous Neandertal, where the rests of what for many years was considered the oldest European were found. This "Valley of Neander" is placed very close to Düsseldorf.
Just another curiosity, Mr Neander's real name was Joachim Neumann. But, since he was fascinated with the classical culture, he decided to translate his family (Newman) name into Greek, resulting in Neander.
