I just did a long post on Mapplr, where I run the Editor’s Choice page, of cafes, restaurants and hotels that I discovered on my last trip to Munich for the DLD conference. Click here to read the reviews.

I could not believe how warm it was last weekend. The grass in the Englischer Garten is green and I sat outdoors drinking coffee. Winter indeed! My favorite place in Munich is the Englischer Garten, a magnificent park laid out along the banks of the Isar, with streams that attract local surfers. I walked for two hours last Sunday, enjoying the warm spring-like weather, then indulged in a wickedly delicious pastry at Cafe Konditorei Arzmiller.
