BOMM

February 04, 2020

Fresh flavors for whatever you’re in the mood for, BOMM in Kralingen has a variety of choices that are as enticing as they are exciting.  

While biking back home after a day out at the lovely Kralingse Bos this weekend, nothing enticed my senses more than having a cocktail. I mean the timing couldn’t have been better. There I was with my partner knowing the sun would be setting in a few hours given the shorter autumn days and there I was thinking, ‘A cocktail sounds pretty good right now.’ I was on Sunday Funday mode. 

Lucky for us, BOMM was close by - a place that we would have missed had it not been for its large glass storefront window showcasing its cozy and charming interior. We went in for a cocktail and left happy having discovered a place full of new things to try. 

Just looking at their menu, this is the very thing that BOMM prides itself in. And rightfully so, the place not only offers seasonal specials but adds lip smacking touches to cafe and bistro classics. To some this may sound over the top, but unique and diverse is something they champion and something I was delighted to find was not excluded in their drinks. Upon taking that first sip it became apparent that standard is not what they are aiming for, but something better, something cozy, something inviting and something personal. 

 

The concert was cancelled on March 14 but will be there on April 11! It's Britney B * tch! Saturday March 14 Tribute band Kimberly Spears will play the hits of Britney Spears LIVE.

Lantarenvenster

January 23, 2020

In an era of big budget films and huge movie theatres it’s a breath of fresh air to discover places like Lantarenvenster that push back and give moviegoers the opportunity to experience a more relaxed vibe.

Lantarenvenster is a household name in Rotterdam, located at the Kop van Zuid in the impressive skyscraper ‘New Orleans’. The venue not only houses five film/concert halls but also a lovely café with a view of the river.

Anyone living in Rotterdam – or for that matter living anywhere in the Randstad – can vouch for the fact that space is a luxury. This is exactly what makes Lantarenvenster so unique. The minute you walk into this theatre all of the space and light in the venue invite you to feel light completely relaxed.

In addition to the delightful ambience, the theatre also offers a wide array of movies. Lantarenvenster has proven over and over again that it never loses sight of the relevance of LGBTQI+ themes in their selection of films.
They have regular exclusive screenings or events with an introduction. You can also check out the expat night screenings where interesting non English films are made accessible .

Apart from the lovely ambience and the great movies, the friendly staff make an outing to Lantarenvenster a real joy. So, what are you waiting for?

One of the few festivals that continues this year is Somewhere over the Rainbow, the LGBTQ + Summer Film Festival at LantarenVenster! From Saturday August 1 to September 1 the most beautiful films with a LGBTQ + theme will be shown on Saturday, Sunday and Tuesday.
