5. Tunes and Tastes - End-of-year Concert
In the beginning of this year, two friends started the online platform ”Tunes and Tastes” to highlight the music scene of Berlin. Since then they have recorded live sessions with local musicians, combined with interviews about their inspirations, roots, about Berlin and food. To celebrate the end of the first season of Tunes and Tastes, they are hosting a concert on the 12th of October in the Vagabund Brewery in Wedding. From 6pm onwards you can see live sessions of artists playing music from folk to indie and RnB, while enjoying locally brewed craft beer. More info.

Restaurant Review:
Calvin Com Pho (⭐4.5/5)
It’s not easy to find good pho, even though many places serve it. Most lack flavor, but this spot does it really well. The broth is aromatic, and the extra greens make the flavors stand out. If you're near Mauerpark, it's just a short walk away and definitely worth trying!
