The British, as everybody knows, apart from their interest in football have a thing for gardening, therefore the famous Palmengarten should be mentioned. Even if you´re not a hobby gardener it is a nice place to take a walk and relax.
Take trains U6, U7 or buses 32, 33 or 50 to Station Bockheimer Warte.

Fressgass is actually called "Große Bockenheimer Straße", but because it's a street with many restaurants, people like to affectionately call it "Fressgass", which could roughly be translated as "munch-street". Most restaurants are a little bit more expensive here.
A very nice Ethiopian restaurant, in case people get tired of sausages.

Catch the popular 'Varieté Show' at Theatre Tigerpalast, a family-friendly caberet and Frankfurt institution. Tickets are not cheap and should be booked ahead, as the shows quickly sell out.

A new club created by international Mega-DJ Sven Väth. Its design is pretty spectacular. It features, I'm quoting from the website "a 100m long white membrane wall that completely wraps around the main Floor. Its sponge-like structure gives you the impression of a living organism. Computer animated projections bring the textual surface to life, causing it to move in sychrony with the music".

Orfeos Erben is not only an art house cinema, but also features a nice restaurant...ironically at the moment they are showing the shocking food documentary "We feed the world", a film about the immoral practises of big food companies, which did rather spoil my appetite when I saw it....
