As soon as we knew we were coming to Vienna, we prioritized...Read More »
Meierei im Stadtpark Vienna Austria - Tiny Urban Kitchen
What better place to enjoy Vienna's (arguably) most famous dish the weinerschnitzel, or most famous Viennese dessert, Kaiserschmarr‘n, than Michelin Bib Gourmand Meierei im Stadtpark? Meierei is the sister restaurant to 3-Michelin starred Steirereck, which is located "upstairs" of Meierei. We were crazy. We decided to book both restaurants. We ended up enjoying a more...Read More »

If you're looking for a place with good, Austrian cuisine that is centrally located and has a really wonderful atmosphere, I think it's hard to beat Brasserie Palmenhaus.

A Look Back at the Past 3 Years - Part III: 2024 - Tiny Urban Kitchen
This is a 3-part series where I look back at the past 3 years (coming out of the pandemic) that just somehow seemed to whiz by. I used to be really disciplined about reflecting back upon the year. I took a brief look back, and noticed I was quite consistent, publishing virtually annual, even publishing...

At night, we went to Old Kunming Street 老昆明街 to walk around. There are TONS of fun things to try here. We had already enjoyed a lovely dinner at 福照楼汽锅鸡·云南菜 Fuzhao Lou Steam Pot Chicken, so we didn't have room to each as much as we would have liked. Still, we prioritized coming to a...
