 | |  |  | Food and Drink: Don't be Surprised by Breakfast | Tip Rating:    |  |  | |  |
This is more for the average American or British traveler to Berlin gleaned from a number of friends who have visited. At breakfast, after a night of intense activity, they were looking forward to a large breakfast and were surprised by the buffet that was offered at the hostel they were staying at. It consisted of sliced meats and cheeses, bread, hard rolls, mueslix, juices and jams, milk and tea. They were appalled though I thought it was quite generous. "Where are the scrambled eggs and sausages, the fried potatoes and biscuits?!" they exclaimed outraged, causing heads to turn in mild curiousity. "In downtown Anytown, USA? I don't know." I replied with a smile. Most breakfast here consists of rolls or bread, maybe some cheese and sliced tomatoes. Something on the lighter side along with tea. Sure you can go places like a nice Irish Pub, Oscar Wilde's Bar, for example, and have a hearty breakfast of the heavy, greasy variety, but in general for Berliners (lol) its light. Leave a Comment

| | | | Food and Drink: Berlin International Beer Festival | Tip Rating: | | | | |
The Internationales Berliner Bierfestival is a blast of a festival held near the Alexanderplatz. I counted 3 separate major stages where bands were playing, and the booths of beer vendors went on for blocks. The beers were from everywhere, with Bavarian and Hessen companies having the strongest showing. But there were also (very good) beers from Kenya, Namibia, Norway, Finland, the Netherlands, and elsewhere in Europe, Asia, Africa, and Central America. Check their website for future dates.
