Things To Do
Weinverein Rote Insel
This little wine bar (with great snacks and other food stuffs, beer, etc.) is right on our block, we can spit on you from the balcony ;). It is highly recommended if you're in the area for a taste of what the locals like and a lovely relaxed evening atmosphere. With view of the Gasometer*
B.HORN Food Bar
Great cocktail bar and restaurant on the edge of Neukölln and Schöneberg. Some of the best espresso martinis, moscow mules, etc. you can find, with a great atmosphere to boot!
Jansen Bar - Cocktail Bar
Awesome little cocktail bar with a selection that'll take you a while to read through! They're all good. Right down the road from my apartment (~2min by foot).
Speisehaus Berlin
A traditional german kitchen with all the sauerkraut and fixings! Though the staff doesn't always come off as the friendliest, the food is great and classically german.
Südblock
Awesome brunch place!
Hako Ramen am Boxi
About the best Ramen you're gonna find in Berlin. The line is worth the wait and generally moves fast!
Rüyam Gemüse Kebab
Woah! There's a reason thousands of customers have left reviews on the wall, this place rocks! Every option is a good one, the veggie (gemüse) is highly recommended too! This is probably the second most popular kebab place in Berlin (behind Mustafa's).
Mustafa's Gemüse Kebap
There are a couple Mustafa's now, but this is the original. Be prepared to wait in line from 20-60 minutes but be prepared to light your tastebuds on fire! There are spätis (bodegas) all along the line so you won't get thirsty waiting. This neighbourhood (Bergmannkiez around Bergmannstraße) is also just a lovely area.
Treptower Park
Berlin is the #1 greenest capitol city in all of western Europe! Take a walk (and pack a picnic!) through Treptower Park in the SE corner of Berlin and realise how easily you could get lost in this central forest. Boat rentals from motor boats, paddle boats, etc. can be rented or you can try and find all three woodpecker species! The water runs parallel to the park.
Zoo Berlin
The Berlin Zoo sports the most comprehensive collection of species in the world and is world-renowned as an important partner in the breeding and maintenance of many endangered and extinct-in-the-wild species. Admission is about 16 euros per person.
No Milk Today
No Milk Today is a 'totally hip', all vegan Cafe in the Graeferkiez (Kiez means neighbourhood) owned by Lisa's friend Eva who will be baking our wedding cake(s). If you're in the area, ALL the cakes and coffees, smoothies, and snacks will blow your mind.
Panoramapunkt
This is the (in our opinion) best Panorama view of Berlin. At a fraction of the price of the TV Tower, this building allows an iconic overview of the entirety of Berlin's skyline including the famous TV Tower, which is better to be looking at than out from.
Markthalle Neun
Berlin's answer to food trucks, this hall is full of all sorts of enticing scents and flavours. Pop in for a coffee and a snack or a meal!
Pavillon am Ufer
This charming outdoor cafe/bar is a wonderful place to stop for a pause during the day to enjoy a drink and a waffle (really good!) or to come to in the evening to enjoy drinks while watching the sun go down over the canal. Oh, and since I've been working here for 4 years, you could probably mention my name for a discount ;)
Cafe Lux
Cafe Lux is the second cafe I work in and is a lovely place to sit for a coffee or drink, waffles, quiches, soups, sandwiches, etc.
