The Weekly Dispatch: Issue 08 ✉️

This week we took the time to dig a little deeper for you - into the people and stories behind the places, art and bottles and we introduce you to one very diligent cheese man. In the spirit of our featured read, The Futurist Cookbook, the week serves up its own mix of experiments, surprises, and pleasure: from mood-lifting music to cranes blocking cathedral views and Sichuan bitters spritz recipe. Each one carrying just enough oddness to send November off properly.

The Weekly Dispatch: Issue 07 ✉️

Vienna has officially entered the humid-cold part of November, the kind that seeps into your bones. Fantastic. Fortunately the city’s most interesting corners stay warm. This week they take the form of short-lived spaces and dinners with concepts, and for evenings when leaving the house feels unreasonable in that kind of weather, watching a psychologically devastating movie under a blanket counts as cultural participation. Kleist would say this is when grace falters and instinct takes over. Both sit comfortably beside his 1810 reminder that “consciousness is a dangerous gift”. On that note, let the week begin. Oh, but enjoy your Sunday first.

Weekly Dispatch: Issue 06 ✉️

Vienna’s gone grey in that flattering way it does each November - however the week ahead looks anything but. Truffles, natural wine, and a ballet about control and desire - the syllabus practically writes itself. Seneca’s on the reading list too. “Leisure without study is death,” he warned. So we’ll be studying flavour, texture, and the city’s better vices - fieldwork, naturally.

Weekly Dispatch: Issue 05 ✉️

Masks are off, Halloween is over, and this month belongs to people who do not need a disguise: so choose your company wisely this November. Early darkness sets the tone; with the right company, nights feel intimate again in a way they have not for some time. But do not get us wrong, solitude can feel even more intimate than company; a late screening, a glass of red at the counter, a quiet walk through a city that feels like it belongs to you. And now that the costumes are back in storage, it feels like the right moment to think about who we are without them - for that we refer to an essay on truly understanding what it truly means to have self-respect, first published in Vogue in 1961 (more on that later). Choose your company, your nights, and your standards well: and November will reward you.

Weekly Dispatch: Issue 04 ✉️

This week’s Dispatch lands on Nationalfeiertag, marking Austria’s independence and neutrality. The perfect moment for some calm before a week that promises anything but. Halloween creeps closer, and we’re leaning in: a bar to test who’s actually cool, a workout that proves slower can be better, and a perfectly good excuse to start drinking on a Thursday afternoon. Plus, dark films, late nights, and the usual mix of good taste and (occasional) bad decisions. Somewhere in this spirited week, a read that asks what progress really means when the smartest things we build still mirror our own flaws and fascinations.

Weekly Dispatch: Issue 03 ✉️

The city feels composed this week - steady, reflective, and slightly restrained in that unmistakable Viennese way. Autumn has settled in properly: conversations have moved indoors, the scent of tobacco and wool coats lingers in cafés, and each evening seems designed for lingering a little longer. Between Fortner’s piano at Porgy & Bess, Matteo Haitzmann’s performance at Brut, and late-night screenings at Filmcasino, the city rewards curiosity over rushing this week. It’s a week for taking things in - art, music, and the luxury of paying attention (more on that later).

Weekly Dispatch: Issue 02 ✉️

As autumn sets its pace, Vienna slips into its most cinematic mood - the air turns crisp, cafés feel a little darker, and conversations stretch longer. It’s the season when the city’s rhythm slows just enough to notice its details: exhibitions glowing through gallery windows, films flickering in old cinemas, the scent of chestnuts on the streets. This week follows that tempo - from an aperitivo at Hollerei Gallery to Taguchi’s quiet portraits at Mumok, ending in good company as Schödl and o boufés pour generously at Real Wine #29. A week for art, appetite, and reflection - best savored slowly, like the season itself.
