Last visited Berlin in April 2009 but was disappointed to see that the famous Cafe Adler had closed. I have not been able to find any info about this on the internet. Just wondering if temporary or permament?
Sadly, Café Adler has closed for good.
As far as I know, Starbucks will take its place.
Looks like it closed in June 2008, according to an article from the Bild. http://www.bild.de/BILD/berlin/aktuell/2008/06/07/cafe-adler-macht/wirklich-dicht.html
Thanks you, both, for your replies. I feel fortunate to have savored some West meets East flavor on my one and only visit there in 2005. Starbucks...ugh!!

Perhaps if it were named "Redstar Buck's" it might bring back some of the old Soviet Era nostalgia! :) Or what about "The Kaffeine Kremlin", "Checkpoint Decaf", "Tunnel 57" or "Espresso Raus!"
The Berlin Wall, this is the real wall, not the one they built in memorium. I really like the scratchy graffiti on this part. The walking tour guide was impressed that I could hurdle the thing so quickly. It really wasn't that hard. After wondering why it was so hard for the easterners to get across, he told me about the giant space in between this and another wall containing armed guards, attack dogs, electric fences and barbed wire among other things. That could be it.
generally, most museums are free during the last 4 hours every thursday. this is generally from 2pm to 6pm, although some museums like the ones on the museum island (the alte national galerie) have free hours from 4pm to 8pm. the guggenheim berlin is free the last few hours (i think its after 6pm) on Mondays.
Another big sports event are the "Six Days of Berlin" that attract usually lot's of people and not just cycling fans. The Six days are famous for their atmosphere.
This year (2003) 12.000 people crammed the Berlin Six for the final night, with a total of around 76.000 during the 6-days!
the entire thai community of berlin gathers at the park by the u7 konstanzer straße station. Whenever the weather's warm (but especially on summer weekends) hundreds of thai people come here to socialize, massage each other, and make some cash selling thai street food. It's cheap and a lot better than what you get int he restaurants here, and they sell things you wouldn't normally find on menus catering to westerners. bring a picnic basket, blanket, although when you buy the food they will usually lend you a plate and fork and spoon as well as condiments. Ask the vendors for advice on how to eat the food because the condiments are half the fun!
The NIkolaiviertel is full of cafes and restaurants, and it seems like a good area to spend the evening. At night, many places in the former East can be quiet and sometimes desolate; try avoid these areas and head to Nikolaiviertel instead.
