Berlin is somewhat lacking in authentic Asian cuisine, but this is the place to go for a delicious (and totally satisfying) bowl of Ramen! They're open till midnight on the weekends--just make sure to get there an hour before closing as they tend to fill up! There's also a location in Mitte.

Always a safe choice on Saturdays and Sundays (don't go on Fridays if you're looking for Techno as only Panorama Bar is open). Beautiful building with a sound system that will blow your mind. Bring ID--you might get carded.

Parks & Nature
A must-see in Berlin, located right across the street from our apartment! Tempelhof is a once-abandoned airport that has since been turned into a park, with two huge runways that are perfect for skateboarding, biking, rollerblading etc. The sunsets here will never fail you.

A Turkish grocery shop packed full of fresh (and cheap!) fruits and veggies. The best spot to go for fresh produce, other than markets. You'll find quite a few of these in Berlin as it's a chain.
