Hello Everyone:
I just purchased this new Vienna Wallpaper guide. Quite small and is in Royal Purple. Published by Phaedon (sp?) British company. This guide is compact, fits in a pocket. It is not at concise as Duncan's book and it lists very new places in Wien, ie, the Sytle Hotel, new MAK restaurant, new Haas Haus hotel, T. Mobile center, etc. Not your typical guide book. Things that rich Yuppies would like.
The only item on which I concurred was the listing for the Sacher spa, which is really the best in Wien.
Hope everyone is doing well and looking forward to reading your posts.

Thanks for the book recommendation, Susan. An unusual title don't you think? I would have thought it actually was about wallpaper in Vienna! Still, it is always good to see wholly new books about the city and certainly the revamped MAK cafe is worth a visit (as is the museum itself for those who have not been). Probably not the sort of book to include the splendid Cafe Braunerhof behind the riding school, which in my estimation is an authentic piece of real Vienna. Best wishes for Easter - Duncan
Hello Duncan and Everyone Else:
Yes, you are correct, the cafe Braunerhof is very reflective of "alt Wien". I mean if it was good enough for Thomas Bernhard, one of Austria's best writers, then it is good enough for our Blog group.
Also, Best Wishes to you, Duncan, your family and Rosi and to all our blog members.
Hope you all find a Faberge egg in your Easter basket on Sunday.
All the best
