Café Luitpold
Munich's grand café since 1888 — Vienna's register, Bavarian discipline
Museum quadrant — Pinakothek row, LMU/TUM, Türkenstraße strip
Maxvorstadt is the museum-and-university quadrant north-west of Altstadt — the Pinakothek row (Alte, Neue, Moderne, Brandhorst), the LMU and TUM campuses, the Königsplatz cluster, plus the Türkenstraße and Augustenstraße restaurant strips that opened around the academic crowd. The gezgin uses the hood for the long lunch between Alte Pinakothek and a Maxvorstadt evening — Brandhorst-grade kitchens, design-school cafés, the wine bars that serve the academic crowd at 22:00.
