S-Bahn Arcs
by Turtleshell
S-Bahn Bögen (arcs), especially those between Zoo Station and Savigny Platz or between Friedrichstrasse and Hackescher Markt, accommodate some nice restaurants and shops. It's fun to have a beer or dig through second-hand books and hear the S-Bahn (commuter train) rumbling over your head.
Berliner Weisse
by richiecdisc
One very particular bier in Berlin is the Berliner Weisse. It's made by mixing either a green (woodruff) or red (raspberry) syrup with an effervescent and very sour locally-produced wheat beer. It's low in alcohol and refreshing in summer. I like Shultheiss' version plain. It's a very tart taste sensation, similar to a lambique in Belgium. You will get condescending stares if you order it this way, but if you enjoy tart things, give it a try.
For those who are not Techno...
by Amaithuna
For those who are not Techno Freaks, just like me: Forget about Love Parade! We have another great event taking place every year at Whitsun. It's called 'CARNIVAL OF CULTURES' and it's Berlin's international summer carnival. It is a unique opportunity for ethnic communities to make their respective cultures visible to Berliners and visitors alike. The top event of the Carnival weekend is the PARADE on Whit-sunday. And there is a street festival with Latino, African, Oriental & Eurasian presentations lasting for 4 days plus many parties, especially on sunday. Location: Kreuzberg.

Kurfürstendamm
by TinyTuck
("Kudamm") It's the representative street of West Berlin and a great shopping mile with luxuary boutiques and international store chains. It's not really my piece of cake (and not my budget), but it was a nice experience to walk down the street on a saturday afternoon and what the people :-)
Falco meets Amadeus Musical...
by mauro_pd
Falco meets Amadeus Musical !!!!!!!!! Great ... even if maybe it'd be better to understand german :-(
Great musical, with soundtrack based upon Falco & Mozart 'tunes' ... the story is a continuous comparison between these two music 'genius' ... GREAT !!!!!!! Even if in an elegant theatre no problem for standard dress ...
