BERLIN

Welcome to Berlin‐Berlin

♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎

WELCOME TO BERLIN!
I've put together some of my favorite locations: restaurants and pubs, museums and art spaces, sports and recreational sites.
Berlin offers more than 15,000 restauration facilities; you find them in your tourist's guide or in the internet. What you see here are just the few I like — without guaranteeing completeness or that you will like them, too.
You'll see that I prefer unpretentious locations free from chi-chi and rather attend authentic places than made-ups for tourists.
If you on your Berlin excursions discover places worth mentioning and think I should present them here please write to my_berlin@apartment4u.berlin
♥︎ The more the better I like it.
€ The more the more it's expensive.
The more chef's hats the better it's cooked.

Very (!) charming. Excellent wines, brandys and home made (bergamot) ice-cream.

«The Old Laundry» is exactly this: an old, almost historic, laundry factory hall in the last backyard of a rather run-down old building in a not-so beloved neigbourhood. Redecorated while preserving the historic substance it has become one of the most interesting restaurants in Berlin. Order of menu changes weekly between fish or meat, but there isn't much you could order outside the menu. You'll be served the menu, water and wine. That's it! But that will be a very joyful evening and the location is just great, the food typical Italian and perfect.
· Large groups could do, too.

Berlin's oldest beer garden, founded in 1837 (they say), seating on picnic benches for 600 people.
Shaded by the old chestnut trees you sit nicely and breath the feeling of a capital city.
Excessively overpriced as it is self-service only and only basic (convenience-)food: Bratwurst (3 / 3.50 €) potato salad, Pretzel (2.50 €).
The rather simple restaurant, too, asks rather above-average prices: Viennese Schnitzel 21€ fried chicken 18.50€(!) — but it's a very charming place nevertheless.

Charming GDR memories may arise in the public lido in the lake that gave this district its name. Swimming in the lake is possible all around its strand — you'll easily find a spot on o piece of lawn somewhere. But with children unable of swimming a visit to the official pool area might pay out. There, a pool attendant will watch and a non-swimmer's area is available. A small catering provides fast food, ice cream and beverages; just don't expect any hi-class cuisine.
Some summer evening concerts are being organised bringing jazz or rock'n'roll or pop.
