Sticky fingers: One of our favorites just can be found in ‘our’ Amsterdam. The sweetness does not even come through the soft pink walls: but through the delicious menu of pies, cake and coconut macaroons. Those macaroons exactly describe why we are often to find there too ;-)
Amstelveenseweg 3, Amsterdam – stickyfingers.nl
Minette concept store: Do you recognize that feeling, walking into a store and really want to have it all? We have this with Minette concept store. A must-visit if you are near the city of Karlsruhe. Thank god, not all things are pink but the interior has a great subtle pink vibe.

Kissa Tanto: Plunge down on one of the fancy pink bar stools, or crawl into each other in the cozy corner benches at Kissa Tanto. Not only a top venue for a regular dinner, definitely a great place to celebrate too! Order the Chan Chan cocktail to stay into the pink vibes.

Piazza duomo: Stop during your road trip in Italy in the town Alba. Dine in their cool pink restaurant and do not forget to order wine! That is their specialty. And after that you can stay the night in one of their (not pink) hotel rooms.
