Portable bratwurst!
by nigelw6443
A funny sight that is becoming more common in Berlin is the one man Rostbrat vendor. They actaully walk around with a grill and cook the bratwursts whilst on the move. I haven't tasted one of these but they are a good alternative to standing at the imbiss.

Unique Souvenirs at Checkpoint Charlie
by Kakapo2 about Art Shop
Although many offers at Checkpoint Charlie are a tourist rip-off, like paying for photos with the actor-soldiers or for a stamp in your passport, I was impressed with the souvenirs in the shops there.
Whereas I think you would not really need a Russian soldier’s hat with the insignia at the front, the thick fur hats are of good use on a cold day. Also the t-shirts were reasonably priced, and I did not see them anywhere else in Berlin. You know, those t-shirts with the print that you are leaving the American sector, in English, German, Russian and French.
They also sell historic post-cards and photos.
