Can anyone give me a few suggestions for good bars, cafes and restaurants in Alxanderplatz area? I'll be there around early March. Thanks
Go to www.viamichelin.com.
Put in Germany, Alexanderplatz, Berlin, then click Michelin Guide restaurants.
You'll find them on a map around Alexanderplatz (zoom in or out if you like), complete with descriptions and price range.
I guess you have an accommodation in Alexanderplatz area, and this is the reason for the question. There are some places to eat or drink around this place, but I strongly recommend to take a U-Bahn (= underground-train) or S-Bahn(city-train) or one of the innercity-buses (lines 100 and 200 go from Alex) or a tram and leave this area. Take a trip to the districts Prenzlauer Berg (area around Kollwitzplatz) or Friedrichshain (Simon-Dach-Strasse) or Kreuzberg (Oranienstrasse or Wienerstrasse or Bergmannstrasse)or to Charlottenburg / Wilmersdorf (streets Kurfürstendamm or Bleibtreustrasse). All these streets have a wide variety of pubs, restaurants and bars with much better athmosphere than Alexanderplatz.
3 stations on the U2 line and your at Eberswalder strasse.
Walk down Kastianallee and you have magnificent choices for bars & restaurants.
The street is famous for outdoor cafes in summer .
In winter you will find loads of cozy wateringholes on this street and the streets running off them.
A great theme bar just one station from Alexanderplatz on U2 line as well
is White trash fast food bar/ restaurant.
Alexanderplatz is a good transfer point but not very interesting for dining and drinking
Oh, you don't have to go with public transport to find something nice!
Even if there is nothing at Alexanderplatz directly, a five minute walk will do something about it. Just don't walk east, as there is nothing, or south (there's only some sights). Head northeast, in the quarter between Rosa-Luxemburg-Straße, Torstraße and the S-Bahn (Dircksenstraße) are a lot of restaurants and some nice bars.
I recommend:
- Com viet (Münzstraße), a small but very delicious and cheap vietnamese restaurant - a bit like a snack bar.
- basi'l (Dircksenstraße), restaurant with good selfmade pasta.
- susuru (Rosa-Luxemburg-Straße), a great and inexpensive, stylish japanese restaurant. great soups!
- Ho Vang, a good Thai/Viatnamese restaurant direct next to susuru.
- Dolores (Rosa-Luxemburg-Straße), nice and cheap burritos, more a snack bar
- Monsieur Vuong (Alte Schönhauser Straße), very crowded In-Restaurant, fast food atmosphere, but great and inexpensive vietnamese food in general.
- Riva Bar (Dircksenstraße under S-Bahn), relatively expensive but good cocktailbar
- Gaststätte W. Prassnik (Torstraße), nice bar
- TresPassers-W (Steinstraße 12), good (cocktail)bar
- Pony Bar (alte schönhauser, next to monsieur vuong), a nice bar for a young, trendy crowd.
- Co.op TV, (Rochstr. 3) mixture between gallery, shop and café.
- Bohannon (dircksenstr) is a nice, not so big club playing soul, hip hop, r'n'b, funk...
The former barrier which surrounded West Berlin and became the symbol of the Cold War. It was built on August 13, 1961 with 96 miles (155 km) of barbed wire barricade and concrete wall which had an average height of 11.8 ft (3.60 m). On November 9, 1989 East Berlin open the border and the wall was torn down by end of 1990 as Communism collapsed and Cold War came to an end.
Berlin's postwomen and postmen were dressed in nice looking black-yellow uniforms as on my picture. They were working hard using various vehicles (bicycles usually) on Saturday morning when I met a few of them including one pretty postwoman but... I was afraid to take a picture of her. Hmm... I am not at all paparazzi.
Must one be pretty (women) or handsome (men) to get a job in Bundespost (German Post) ?
Former checkpoint Staaken (Berlin-Spandau) was located at the British sector. Right after the begin of the fall of the "Iron Curtain" we did a trip to checkpoint Staaken with our bikes. It felt odd biking along the wall and recognizing the workers that already had started to tear down that thing. Very excited (yet confused too) we did about a 12 miles biking tour from Berlin-Spandau/Staaken to the "opened" town of Henningsdorf (former GDR).
Today in Berlin-Spandau/Staaken most likely no piece of the wall is left (except for a memorial) yet the area itself is still some beautiful countryside away from the hectic of Berlin's center and can be easily explored on a biking or walking tour.
This link provids some good informations on the wall and history

It was the first H&M store I ever visited. I got to know that H&M (Hennes & Mauritz) company was established in Sweden in 1947.
In Berlin they sold clothes and underwear for ladies, gentelmen, youth, kids and H&M cosmetics as well. Good choice of interesting, trendy, good quality clothes, various but fashionable in style (retro, say 20' of 20th century at spring 2004 collection). Urszula liked one jacket there a lot but... hmm... it was too expensive or maybe we had too few euros haha. Interesting and fashionable good quality clothes. Expensive or moderatately priced - depends on... where you are from maybe !
In Berlin you can easily get around by public transportation, even by night. You have the choice between busses, streetcars ("Tram"), subway ("U-Bahn") and rapid city transport / urban rail system ("S-Bahn").
There are two main companies, that operate the public transportation in Berlin: the Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe "BVG" (streetcars, busses, subway and some ferries) and the S-Bahn Berlin (S-Bahn).
Bus:
The bus routes are very dense all over Berlin. In the city center you can catch a bus about every 5 to 10 min. At night there are special routes ("Nachtbusnetz"), that cover all the important stops in Berlin. There is a bus about every 30 min.
Tram:
Streetcars just operate in the city center (Mitte) and some of the eastern quarters. Usually you can reach your destination by most bus routes. But if you are nostalgic, try the streetcar. It's worth it. If you want, you can also make an appointment to try out a streetcar simulator. But watch out, it's really expensive: 60 Euro for just half an hour!
