Yayyyyy for Frankfurt finally knowing what's up! It's about time this city starts taking its food…read moretruck scene more seriously. I went to the Food Truck festival this past Friday and enjoyed myself thoroughly. It was hot and the ideal day for such an event. The Food Truck festival is the perfect place for families, teens, adults... basically everyone! And so many trucks will obviously cater to all needs. I found myself at Lizza, a low-carb pizza truck that made their crust from chia seeds and flax seeds and offered a few different toppings. All pizzas were handmade and delicious! Next time, I will be eager to check out some other trucks and try something new! There was music, beer (including craft beer woohoo!), lounge chairs, and heaps of space for people to plop down a blanket and chill out on a Friday evening. It really doesn't get much better than this! I can not wait to go again on July 10!

OK - this place is horrible. If I had 4 arms, I would give it 4 thumbs down. The place smelled…read morelike a brothel (I heard it used to be one). Also, the owner had a real bad attitude. At first, I thought he was an impostor attempting to destroy the business but he really was the owner. It was apparent he was not happy to have us as customers. Now the food....I had not really been feeling well all day, what with a bit of gas and such. By the time I had eaten "dinner" - some Croatian mystery fish, I knew I was in trouble. It all happened very quickly... All of a sudden, there was a lot of pressure on my diaphragm and I was having trouble breathing and unbuttoning my pants were not an option since I was wearing sweats. At the same time, the downward pressure was building. At first I thought it was only gas, which could have been passed in batches right at the table without too much concern. I knew I was in trouble. I ran to the bathroom and was only halfway down on the toilet when my poop wave was of such force, and of just such an angle in relation to the back curve of the toilet seat, that it ricocheted off the back of the seat and slammed into the wall. Almost at the same time, the vomiting began. By the time I had actually collapsed on the toilet, my mouth had filled up with a large portion of the Seezungenfilet I consumed. So, I bent over. I was still sitting on the toilet with my head above my now slightly-opened legs, positioned in between my knees and waist. Also, directly above my pants which were now pulled down to a point just midway between my knees and my ankles. Oh, do you remember I was wearing sweats, not the new cooler sweats but sweatpants with elastic on the ankles. In one mighty push, probably 1 kilo of yellow and brown goo were deposited inside my pants with no readily available exit. And there was no @#$%!@# toilet paper!!!! I had to scream for the Manager for a hose. He reluctantly brought one and and I promptly washed myself off. This place is horrible - everything about it. DO NOT GO.

Towering atop the village of Königstein in the Taunus region just outside of Frankfurt is Burg…read moreKönigstein. The castle ruins are host to the Ritter Von Königstein medieval festival each spring. Dating from the 12th century, the castle is nowhere near functional, but offers a quite place to let your imagination take you back in time. Pack a flashlight to explore the dark passageways underneath the castle. Top Three Highlights: 1.) Minuscule entrance fee (less than €5) 2.) Great view of Taunus region (and Frankfurt from the castle tower) 3.) Relatively uncrowded

Friendly Cinema with a significant amount to offer…read more I often take my kids to Kino Kelkheim for the kids program, which shows recently released films in a special weekend afternoon matinee. It is never packed, so you can always get a decent seat. (Booster seats are also available for those shorter kiddies) I have yet to have a problem with the picture or the sound quality of any of the films we have seen. Cheap Concessions are also available. And ticket prices are cheap to fair.
