"Burek" - Breakfast in Style

Mornings in Macedonia usually start with breakfast on work or breakfast with the family. However, there's one thing we've all tried for breakfast - burek (cheese pie). This famous triangle-shaped pitas can be found in every "Buregdzilnica" ( which is a word for place where burek is sold). On every corner is one of this stores that sell different types of burek pita like meat pie, the already mentioned cheese pie, nowadays famous pizza  burek,spinach pie, kulen burek etc. The price varies by the size, if you order 1/4 it is round
40 Denar ( 1 USD), for 1/8 is 25 Denar (0.50 USD) per slice.
What goes better with a slice of burek than a glass of cold yogurt?

When the sun shines it's time for "Kala"!

Yesterday in Skopje was raining, today the sun in shining. They say when the sun shines its blinding, we say when the sun shines it's time for "Kala".
There is a group on Facebook "If you don't know where is Kala, you are not from Skopje"  (http://www.facebook.com/pages/AKO-NE-ZNAES-KADE-E-KALA-TI-NE-SI-OD-SKOPJE/115328975166109?fref=ts ), so in our book we had to dedicate a post to our favorite hot spot for coffee. "Kala" is located on the most famous summer street "Leninova", where the foreigners can see a lot of restaurants, "Sushico" and "Kljusa" are located here as well, and has a stunning terrace, made for sunny days. On summer days, this street is full with people usually when the season starts in the months of May and June. The service is great, the baristas and bartenders are certified and you will made the right choice whether you order coffee or cocktail.
Enough speaking, we are heading to "Kala", are you coming?

When it rains,it's time for Hot Chocolate "Njami" @ Arabesque Lounge Bar

When it rains it pours...this morning I've read this quote on twitter and it inspired me to write this blog about "what to do when in rains in Skopje". First of all, you should take a cab! No rain is excuse for a bad hair day! Luckily, like on the streets in NYC, locals are selling umbrellas on the street for the price of 50-100 denar (1.5 EUR or 2 USD). Then you have two choices, whether you want to go shopping ( we suggest - Skopje City Mall http://skopjecitymall.mk/skopje-city-mall-mk , or if your choice is coffee with friends we suggest Arabesque Lounge Bar which is our hot spot for urban atmosphere, food and decor. Black velvet chairs and orange chandeliers make a deluxe atmosphere. Probably this is the best place for smokers. If you didn't know the law in Macedonia prohibits smoking inside so this restaurant has a stunning terrace which is warm and safe when it rains all year round.

The authors of Skopje in Style recommend:
Hot Chocolate "Njami" - real Barista specialty!

Magazine in Style - BarCode !

Five years ago, in July 2007 began the publishing of the first and only magazine devoted to raise the bar and restaurant standards in Macedonia. Starting with the quote "...in Macedonia the appetizer, the entree and the dessert are still served with the same utensils..."the editor in chef, Radmila Pavlovska has opened a new era in the hospitality world. Continuously working on improving the standards and collaborating with journalists from all over the world, Radmila Pavlovska has really made great changes and helped a lot of businesses improve their techniques whether there's a word for cocktails recipe, or ways of serving the food, design of the bar, catering tips etc. For the authors of Skopje in Style it is really an honor to be part of a really professional magazine and be able to share the NY experience. The Magazine BarCode is published on every 2 months, and is distributed to all restaurants and bars AT NO CHARGE. It is a free sample of great quality.

I wouldn't want to speak more about the magazine itself, but I wold like to share some of the articles that has personally impressed me:

Magnus Fitness - Keep moving forward!

They say excuses are useless and results are priceless. There is no woman on the world that doesn't want to look healthy and attractive. When we were young girls our parents took us on ballet,tennis or other type of physical activity for kids, not only for our health but also to help us socialize with other children at our age. Then there comes the teenage phase, for some positive often negative. In this phase we start not liking our body, the way we look, we often compare our self with models and we are becoming frustrated. That lead us to unhealthy diets and worthless treatments. Even the prom night itself is so stressful for a young girl! This is the reason why we are dedicating this post to one of the best fitness clubs in Skopje, which is made ONLY FOR WOMEN, and which offers a wide diversity of workouts that will help shape up your body.
Compared to NY Sports Clubs and 24 Hours Fitness of Derick Jeter, I can say that Magnus Fitness Center http://www.magnus.com.mk/ is probably the only fitness club in Skopje that offers same value in terms of gym quality and staff knowledge. Here you can practice aerobic, kick box, pilates, aero-fit etc.The fitness center has steam room and tanning studio. It offers nutrition counseling. What we all need is motivation. I love going in this club cause the trainers are very motivating and they never give up on you.

There are 1.440 minutes in a day. Use 20 of them to workout! Change your mind - Change your body!

MK Premier Luxury Event Organization

In this sunny Sunday evening after the lunch with our dearest we remember the days that made our lives, the happiness that the events such as wedding, Christmas party, newborn ceremony, graduation party, birthday party bring to our lives. Those are the moments that make us feel special and loved. In those occasions we take pictures cause we want to memorize the times when we were happy and remember them when we are sad. Organizing an event is not easy, the fact itself that the main purpose is to make someone happy makes this job even more difficult and stressed. Unfortunately Macedonia does not have many event organization companies but those that are in this business are real leaders. In a search for a venue like "Cipriani" on 42nd Street the authors of Skopje in Style, chose "City Hall Center" http://www.cityhall.com.mk/ .
Managed by two very beautiful women, City Hall has developed as a premier luxury event organization company featured by events such as: Skopje Jazz Festival 2012,  Macedonian Basketball Organization ( in a moment it reminded me on an event we were attending at Cipriani for the NY Giants Sports Foundation with all the superstars) and many other VIP events for famous companies from Macedonia.

As mentioned in the travel guide, City Hall Center is spread on 700m2 which allows for up to 500 guests to fit in comfortably for any type of event. The space is composed of bar, foaje and studio.
City Hall can do the organization and planning for any type of event from corporate to family from beginning to end for reasonable price and great quality.

Do not forget to contact them and book your event for your Pre-New Year's Eve parties!
