I saw just one group of Stolpersteine this week but I have had to separate them into two photos to upload to my Stolpersteine Gallery. Unfortunately, some idiot has stuck stickers between and around the memorials, presumably in the hope that they will appear in someone’s photos. I’ve cropped the images as tight as I […]
When Ian & Ebe from Back to Berlin and Beyond suggested meeting for lunch a couple of weeks ago and asked me to choose the restaurant I had to search the memory banks for somewhere new to try. Luckily, I remembered reading a positive review of Marienburger on Mogli Oak – Berlin. So on a […]
I have made my weekly update to my Stolpersteine Gallery to include photos of the Stolpersteine I saw over the last week. The memorials I saw were laid in memory of: Dr Siegfried Lesh (Chausseestrasse 117) and Emil Bab (Prenzlauer Allee 34). You can read more about the origins of these memorials to the victims of National […]
I have seen the smiley faces and people of Berlin-based Street Artist, Mein Lieber Prost (often shortened to Prost) on the streets of Berlin since I first visited the city in 2009. His simple but effective drawings and occasional advertising takeover antics always bring to mind the phrase ‘Smile and the world smiles with you…’. […]
When I heard that a new Currywurst Imbiss, Ziervogel’s Kult-Curry, had opened on Schönhauser Allee in Berlin’s Prenzlauer Berg I had to go along and try it out.

I posted photos of a couple of the CLET street sign interventions I have seen in Berlin recently on my Facebook page and they were well received so I thought I’d write a post about the artist. CLET (Clet Abraham) is based in Florence but comes originally from Brittany. He is most well known for […]
I saw just the one set of Stolpersteine this week, which were laid in memory of Thea Fuss, Abraham Fuss and Ruth Fuss (Fehrbelliner Strasse 81). The photo has now been added to my gallery of all the Stolpersteine I’ve seen in Berlin, which you can view here. You can also read more about the background to these […]
Cenacolo is a popular Italian restaurant on Sredzkistrasse in Berlin’s Prenzlauer Berg. When my parents were visiting last year I spent some time researching places to eat in my Kiez and it had consistently good reviews. I took my parents there on their second night in Berlin and despite only being here for 5 nights, […]
The giant burger stack sign outside Burgerie on Schönhauser Allee is hard to miss but it was the sight of the burgers themselves as people ate at the pavement tables that first caught my eye. I’ve always been a big fan of a burger – Ronald McDonald was responsible for feeding me a lot of […]
