Barcomi’s Deli – Lunch in a Berlin Courtyard
Having worked up an appetite walking in the snow I decided that today would be a good day to go back to Barcomi’s Deli. Barcomi’s Deli isn’t the kind of place that is easy to happen upon. It is in a back Hof (courtyard) between Sophienstrasse and Gipsstrasse in the art gallery district of Berlin’s […]
Bier’s Kudamm 195 – Currywurst on Berlin’s Shopping Boulevard
I braved the cold of a Berlin winter this afternoon to get my Currywurst fix at Bier’s Kudamm 195. Bier’s had come to my attention as it featured on a BBC News video about Berliners’ appetites for Currywurst that I found when researching the history of the Berlin snack for my Konnnopke’s post. The reporter […]

A Cold Day on the Spree – Molecule Man in Winter
The Bird
When I set out this morning my only intention was to take a stroll around the fleamarket at the Mauerpark and see how it looked after yesterday’s light snow and build up an appetite for lunch. I didn’t have any intention of eating out but as has happened on previous Sundays, as I reached the […]

Spotted in the snow on a car on Oderberger Strasse on the walk back from the Mauerpark.

Urban Outfitters – Berlin Mitte Opening
When I was out walking one evening last week the lights in a new shop on Weinmeisterstrasse in Berlin Mitte caught my eye. As I got closer I was able to see ‘Urban Outfitters’ written all over the window. Now, I’ve been a fan of Urban Outfitters since I went to my first store in San […]
Siegessäule (Gold Else) – Berlin’s Victory Column
After a successful trip to the Französischer Dom I decided it was time to tackle the Siegessäule (Victory Column) and get some more great views over Berlin. Known by the locals as Gold Else (Berliners have a fondness for giving their public buildings nicknames), the column is topped by a gilded bronze statue of the […]
