Today I am thinking a lot about rituals. These are the moments and occasions I hold close to my heart because they are special and remind me about the past...and the importance of securing them for the future. Visiting Café Gnosa in the notrious Lange Reihe is one of the stops I simply have to make while I am in Hamburg. It is an old café, having opened its doors in 1900 and in 1939, the famous name was first brought to life by the couple Elli and Gerhard Gnosa. After the Second World War, it was a café where prostitutes used to congregate and later it became known for its food...so it has a colourful past indeed.
I love sitting here and watching the city roll by, while having a slice of my favourite pear tart, accompanied by a pot of tea. The interior is wonderfully nostalgic and even when it is almost empty, the café has a charm and elegance that never feels as if it is lonely. So, when you are next in Hamburg, do yourself a favour and make a pit stop here! You can find it at Lange Reihe 93.
