Crispy leaves rustle at our feet and the first fresher winds are announcing that winter is coming soon. Life starts retracting indoors, but not only homewards… This is also a time for indoor music and film festivals, dining out at cozy restaurants or attending fairs like the Baking and Chocolate Fair. Oh yes, this is also the time we like to dress up like ghosts and pumpkins and go trick-or-treating. Let us guide you to some of this months event highlights, things to see and do in Stockholm.

Chelas – There’s a New Mexican in Town
Located at the trendy Hornstull neighbourhood of Södermalm, at Verkstadsgatan 4, you’ll find Chelas, Stockholm’s newest Mexican restaurant. Chelas opened its doors in July of 2019. The name comes from the Mexican slang word for beers and a phrase the Mexicans use when they want to socialise with friends and family: “Saca las chelas”. Literally translated it means “Bring out the beers”, but it can actually be better interpreted as “Let’s have some beers and hang out”.
The wine culture in Sweden is expanding, especially with the increase of vineyards in Skåne in the south of the country. In fact, 42% of all alcohol sales in Sweden consist of wine, and this is very different from brännvin, the traditional Swedish drink that translates as burn-wine. You can of course buy wine from the state owned Systembolaget. However, the only other place that you can buy wine and enjoy a glass is in licenced restaurants and bars that serve food. There are some great restaurants in Stockholm that unite their food and wine menu in perfect harmony, taking equal consideration to both.

K.Flay @ Nalen
Regeringsgatan 74, 111 39 Stockholm, SwedenTwo times Grammy-nominated K.Flay, who was most recently in Sweden when she opened for Imagine Dragons on a packed Globe, is going on tour!
Raw, rebellious, energetic and absolutely fantastic – it’s a pretty reasonable summary of K.Flay and her genre-transcending music. K.Flay is both singer and songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, when K.Flay debuted it was with a rap mixtape in 2004. Her success on the rap scene was unexpectedly immediate, and after a number of mixtapes K.Flay began to understand that music was her calling. While moving around the United States (from Chicago via San Fransisco to Brooklyn), she experimented with her music style, landing in a rocky indie hip hop that few other artists can handle.
Her hard-to-define – but still fantastic – music is as much rock as hip-hop and indie and has, paradoxically, shared a stage with artists like Snoop Dogg and Passion Pit. The latest album “Every Where is Some Where” (2017) featured several mega songs, including “High Enough” and the Grammy-nominated single “Blood in the Cut”.
At the beginning of the year she released a new single, “Bad Vibes”, during the summer came the new album “SOLUTIONS”.
