I always go here to find things you cannot normally find in large chain stores.

Of course they also have a lot of fashion and accessories as well. Their food hall is quite big and you can buy a variety of food and wine items here. I shop at this place a lot specially for small things that are much harder to find elsewhere.

If you have the time to search and can deal with crowds, you may come up with something here but I would rather sightsee or eat and drink than spend time looking for an elusive find.

Fresh flowers, meats, cheeses, baked goods and fresh baked breads, and of course beer and wine bars. There's something here for everyone and it's always fun checking out all the different booths. I walked over every morning for fresh Cappuccino at Leo's Kaffee and would pick up a pastry at one of the bakeries. In the afternoon, I would stop by the pickle guy and buy a few of the best pickles I've ever eaten. So many choices from sweet to sour, spicy and my favorite a super sour with a spicy horseradish. The long line moves quickly and if you like pickles, you must stop here.

Unfortunately, I visited during the holidays, so some stalls weren't open. One shop in particular really caught my attention--it specialized in mustard (Senf) and offered so many varieties I had never seen or even heard of before. I was excited to try everything. Prices ranged from €2 to €7 per bottle, and while I was tempted to buy several, my luggage limitations held me back. In the end, I chose two: black truffle mustard and matcha mustard. Can't wait to try them once I'm back home.

This is a shopping centre. It's not a browsing centre…read more You come here to go to one of the two supermarkets, the drugstore, Media Markt, the fitness club. And then you go home. That said, it is a superbly efficient and high-class shopping centre, and each one of those supermarkets, drugstores, big-box retailers or gyms is best-of-breed. Even the so-called "Whopper Bar" is meant to be a cut above the average Burger King. The only shop that might detain me is that curious high-class car showroom around the back, for which I haven't yet quite figured out the raison d'etre. Since I'm a buyer, and not a shopper, this place suits me perfectly.

Email sent to the mall's manager:…read more First of all, receive my apologies for writing in English; I am an expat and my written German is not very good. This morning I went to Fitness First located at dasEinstein in Munich. I validated my parking coin at the fitness studio, but on the way out of the parking, the machine did not accept my coin and the bar did not lift. I pressed the emergency button and explained the situation. The person on the line just kept repeating that I needed to validate my coin. I left my car there and returned to the validation station at the gym and got a message that said that it had been already used (vergütet). I tried again to go out and did not work. I called the emergency line, they sent someone and they only kept repeating that the coin must be valitaded. So, I tried yo pay but then got a message that said "Nachzahlung nicht möglich". I called one more time begging the person on the line to let me out (by this time there was another car behind me trying to go out). The person on the line insulted me saying he could not help me when I was so stupid not to understand that the coin has to be validated. Eventually, he agreed to send someone. In the meantime, I kept inserting the coin several times and suddenly the bar miraculously lifted. Obviously there is a technical problem with the coins, validation station or the machine at the way out. These things happen and it is completely understandable. What I do not comprehend, is the rudeness of the personnel and the unwillingness to assist. They preferred to leave other drivers trapped for a long time than to open the gate for me.

If you're near Marienplatz @ that whole are, You have to take the underground metro/ subway. It's not hard. One way ticket costs euros 2.90 and it's off the U5 line. The store is in a mall that has all sorts of other shopping options. If you want to do some serious shopping, it's worth it to take a few hours out & trek here. This store is 3 levels. Home goods, men's, women's & children's clothes & all sorts of makeup, skincare & other accessories. Quality is great if u compare it to Walmart or other discount stores in the US. Prices are very low esp considering the taste, quality & fit of the clothes. I docked a point off cause I waited in checkout line for ever. Like 30 mins. Also place is a bit of a mess later in the day & didn't see employees putting items back together. No bathroom too folks. You have to pay euros .50 to use the main restroom in the mall. That's just not cool. I get that it's a European thing, but still totally uncool.
