A few weeks ago, rather spontaneously, I had the opportunity to go to Berlin for 6 days and as I was feeling that sometimes you need to say yes to things instead of no, I took it. So on the 9th of August I boarded the plane to the German capital and that was a first. Berlin’s always been on my travel list but somehow I never found the time/motivation to go. Anyhow, I went with a friend and we stayed at the Sana Hotel near Kurfürstendamm which was a great place to stay and explore the city.
How did I like Berlin? Well that’s a bit hard to say… I think it is a pretty cool city, very spacious with a young and vibrant crowd. But I just didn’t feel that it was my kind of city. I don’t know if you get me but in New York, for example, I felt much more at ease than I did in Berlin, same feelings I had in Vienna a few days later.
Nonetheless I had a good time and enjoyed exploring the city and its restaurants.
I’d like to point out some of the places we went to which I liked, so if any of you guys are planning a trip to Berlin and are looking for some tips on where to eat, here are mine:
L’Osteria for Pizza & Pasta
Hans im Glück for Burger (they have a great selection for vegetarians too!)
Cross Finest Deli for an amazing breakfast (also with Nutella aka my biggest weakness)
Dean&David for a quick & healthy lunch
Frohsinn Joghurt for frozen Joghurt
not to forget the yummy Vegan Burger at the Mauerpark flea-market (on Sundays)
Oh I nearly forgot: We went to see ‘War horse’, a play which I can only recommend, I was fascinated! Their horse creations were incredible, during the play you sometimes forgot that they weren’t actually real animals.
Firun e puer Wochen kruut ech d’Meiglechkeet fier 6 Deeg op Berlin ze goen an opschon ech ebessen gezweifelt hun ob ech sollt goen hun ech geduecht ‘wisou net’ an hun e Fluch gebucht. Den 9ten August ass et dun lass gang an no enger gudder Stonn am Fliger sin ech zu Berlin um Flughafen Tegel (iwwregens den ellensten Flughafen wou ech bis elo war?!) geland. Ech wollt nach emmer eemol op Berlin mee bis elo hun ech iergendswei ni Zait fonnt oder et huet een gefeelt fir mat, dier wesst secher wei et ass. Meng Frendin an ech haten een Zemmer am Sana Hotel daat just 5 Minuten fum Kurfürstendamm eweg luch, perfekt fier d’Staat ebessen ze entdecken.
Wei huet mier Berlin gefall? Ech kann et nemmen schweier beschreiwen: Berlin ass eng cool Staat fannen ech, jonk an fresch, mee mier ass et iergendwei ze waitleefeg, net gemittlech genuch. Ech wees net op der verstidd waat ech mengen mee zu New York dat lescht Joer oder zB och zu Wien (puer Deeg no Berlin) hun ech mech einfach vill mei wuel gefillt. Berlin ass secher eng flott Staat, just net ‘meng’ Staat. Egalwei huet et mer Spaas gemach eng nai Staat ze entdecken!
Ech well eech epuer fun den Plaatzen soen wou mier gees hun an dei mier gefall hun, flait ass jo deen een oder aaneren fun eech amgang een klengen Trip op Berlin ze plangen an huet sech gewonnert wou een keint eesen goen:
L’Osteria fier Pizza & Pasta
Hans im Glück fier Burger (mat enger relativ grousser Auswahl och fier Vegetarier)
Cross Finest Deli fier Kaffi ze drenken ( all Platz dei Nutella op der Kaart huet, huet bei mier schon een groussen Pluspunkt)
Dean&David fier een schnellt an gesond Mettegeesen
Frohsinn Joghurt fier frozen Joghurt
an den leckeren veganen Burger um Floumaart am Mauerpark (Sonndes) net ze vergeesen
Oh mei lo hun ech bei deem villen Geschreiws nach baal vergees ze soen dass mer d’Theatersteck ‘Die Gefährten’ kuken waren! Een Steck waat ech just kann recommandeiren. Et huet mech wieklech fascineiert wei d’Schauspiller et hin kruuten dei Paerd op der Bühn opleewen ze lossen, heinsdo hun ech suguer vergees dass et keng richteg Deiren waren!
