Photo: Hanging out at Weinbergspark Berlin-Mitte

Last weekend – hanging out at Weinbergspark. The weather was friendly enough to hang out in the park, only a few drops of rain – but that was just refreshing. And I took the opportunity to test my new long-exposure app – and I think the result is quite ok.

10 things you can do in Berlin – but should you?!

I recently stumbled across an article published already last summer, featuring the catchy headline “10 things you can do in Berlin, but not in the US“. The article listed ten things, the author wants to make you believe ‘you can do in Berlin’. At parts the article, or rather the author, appears to be so […]

Berlin’s Late Shops and Kiosks: sunday shopping re-thought

Currently an online petition makes its round through Berlins newspapers, Berlin blogs and social media. The initiator claims she wants to ‘save’ Berlin’s Late Shop and Kiosk Culture.

Bands from both cities influenced each other, and every now and then techno DJs from Detroit visited Berlin to perfom in one Berlin’s techno clubs – and Berlin DJs visited Detorit to spin some vinyl in […]

Kreuzberg music club SO36 celebrates 36 year anniversary

One of Berlin’s night life highlights turns 36 – and since the number 36 plays an important role in the club’s history, there will be a great party week celebrating this 36 year anniversary. Named after the back then wild wild East part of Kreuzberg (postal code Südost 36 (South East) or short SO36) it […]

Carnival of Cultures and Streetfest

It’s this time of the year: temperatures are rising, Carnival of Cultures Parade is marching, Streetfest is bubbeling – Kreuzberg is celebrating the Carnival of Cultures 2014.
