Zug der Liebe is a musical demonstration promoting compassion, charity, and social responsibility.

Restaurant Review:
Sabor Latino - Peruvian restaurant (⭐4/5)
Peruvian cuisine is known for its rich diversity and distinctive flavors, drawing on a blend of Indigenous, Spanish, African, Chinese, Japanese, and Italian influences. Sabor Latino offers a taste of this unique culinary tradition, serving a range of Peruvian dishes, from ceviche to meat options. The restaurant also features sidewalk seating, perfect for enjoying a meal in pleasant weather. While it's not the cheapest option, the prices are reasonable for the quality and experience.
