Arts & Culture

The Aalto House and The Aalto Studio Aino and Alvar Aalto’s home was completed in Riihitie Road, Munkkiniemi, Helsinki, in autumn 1936. In this as in their other works, the young architects combined modern and traditional thinking. The furniture, designed by the Aaltos, had already won international acclaim in the early 1930s, and the couple furnished their home with their own creations. The cosmopolitan atmosphere of the home is underlined by works of well known artists such as Le Corbusier, Alexander Calder and Poul Henningsen. The Aaltos’ home has recently been lovingly restored and is now a home museum open to the public. Aalto House (Riihitie 20).

Delivo is my local cafe of choice. I've eaten there countless times. The place is cozy, best in spring and summer time when the terrace is open. Delivo publishes their daily lunch menu on their website, but I rarely check it -- they always have hearty salads with many toppings to choose from, so I take that if I'm not feeling the lunch specials. My favorite salad here is smoked salmon with goat cheese -- massive toppings! They also offer soupe du jour -- both their tomato soup and borsch are extremely flavorful. The artisan bread on the side is fantastic.
