🎄**This Christmas: If You’re Not Going Home, Come Eat With Me** *A Vietnamese homecooked supper for anyone staying in Berlin this holiday season.* **Welcome to homecooked stories by Trang** This December, I’m hosting a special edition for those of us who are staying in Berlin — whether you don’t celebrate Christmas, can’t travel home, or simply want a cozy evening around a shared table. **The Story** I’ve lived in Europe for almost 13 years, and every December brings the same familiar question:*“What am I going to do for Christmas this year?”* It’s not my holiday, but the city changes — friends travel, families gather, and Berlin becomes unusually still. I’ve always found myself caught between loving the quiet… and feeling the low note of everyone else having a place to belong. Over time, I created my own tradition: Every Christmas, I cook myself a feast. Not because I plan to eat everything, but because the act of cooking makes me feel at home again. Sometimes it’s just me. Sometimes one friend. Sometimes a small group of people who also aren’t going anywhere. Slowly, my home became a *home away from home* for friends spending the holidays in Berlin. This year, I’m opening that table to you too. **Event details** A Vietnamese family-style meal, following the Northern tradition: **một mặn · một canh · một rau** (one savory/protein dish · one soup · one vegetable) And because it’s Christmas, we’ll add: ✨ an extra savory dish ✨ a small sweet dessert The menu is made of dishes that appear again and again on my family’s table during the first meal after I arrive home: * **Canh khoai tây cà rốt hầm xương** Potato & carrot soup simmered with pork bones * **Thịt kho tàu** Braised pork belly & eggs, glossy and rich * **Xíu mại sốt cà chua** Vietnamese-style meatballs in tomato sauce * **Bắp cải luộc + nước mắm gừng** Boiled cabbage with ginger fish sauce — humble, clean, comforting * A **small, sweet surprise dessert** No vegan or vegetarian option will be available for this dinner. **Good to Know** **📍 Location:** Pankow, Berlin (M2 tram stop Prenzlauer Promenade/Am Steinberg — exact address shared after RSVP) **🗓 Date:** * **Thursday, December 18 — Dinner,** 19:00–22:00, OR * **Sunday, December 21 — Lunch,** 12:30–15:30, OR * **Thursday, December 25 — Lunch,** 12:30–15:30 **💶 Contribution:** €40 per person (includes multi-course dinner, soft drinks/tea assortments/water & experience) **👥 Seats:** Limited to guests each event Payment link will be shared after RSVP confirmation.

Meet like-minded people, get authentic meditation instructions and hang out in our beautiful Buddhist meditation center in the west of Berlin! The practice of meditation is a simple, yet profound practice that helps us to connect with ourselves and gives us tools to release experiences of distraction, agitation, and stress. In the Buddhist tradition, meditation is more than just a way to end the mind´s distraction - it is what helps us to bring our mind home to its true nature. What better way to experience the colourful facets of meditation than with a group of like-minded people? Hence our open meditation sessions always have a social element as well - we like to have a tea and share about our meditation experiences, or whatever else we want to explore. There is also always the chance to ask questions to our experienced meditation instructors. These sessions are held in English and open to everyone - complete beginners as well as those with more experience. The sessions are every week on Friday at 17:00-18:30.

Early-bird coffee and conversation at [5 Bean Coffee](https://5beancoffee.com/)!

Take a break from the craziness of the holiday season and relax at The Lion with us. This is an new (to me) place in Bexley that serves cocktails, beer and wine, coffee, tea, pastries, snacks, caviar--a little bit of everything. The cocktail they made for The Drexel to sell for screenings of "Wicked For Good" was one of the best cocktails I've ever had. Their tea list is also impressive. Take special note of the Emperor's Private Reserve Pu-erh! https://www.thelionbexley.com/menu I don't know how large the place is, so it's possible we might find places to sit, or we might need to stand. This is an informal event to explore this interesting location.

You must check into with the host and say you are with Suzie or Columbus Meetup To get the drink specials you must check in before 8:30 pm These are the drinks specials: $3 Domestic Draft- Miller Lite & Coors Light $3 Well Liquor Cocktails (no doubles/no redbull/no shots) $4 Vizzy Seltzers $5 Select Call Liquor-Titos, Bacardi, Bombay, Cazadores Reposado, & Jack Daniels (no doubles/no redbull/no shots) $5 Select Shots- White Tea Shots & Fireball
