About Berlin
City overview
Berlin spreads across the Spree and former Cold War borders, with Mitte, Kreuzberg, Friedrichshain, Prenzlauer Berg, Neukoelln, Charlottenburg, and Schoeneberg giving the city separate political, museum, nightlife, immigrant-food, and residential cores. Prussian avenues, Wall sites, Nazi-era memorials, East German architecture, lakes, and late-night clubs sit on the same U-Bahn and S-Bahn map.
Food & drink
Berlin food is best read through kiosks and migrant neighborhoods: currywurst is sliced sausage under curry ketchup, doner kebab stacks shaved meat and salad into Turkish bread, boulette is a pan-fried meat patty, and Pfannkuchen is the jam-filled doughnut outsiders often call a Berliner. Markthalle Neun, Thai Park, Maybachufer market, Kantstrasse, Sonnenallee, and Kollwitzplatz add schnitzel, eisbein, beer-garden snacks, Turkish bakeries, Vietnamese kitchens, and late-night falafel.
