Thankful for the fact that this year’s summer filter seems to be slightly more lasting and graces the Hauptstadt with more gorgeous rays of sunshine than unexpected raindrops, we’re bringing you the ultimate guide to Berlin’s best picknick locations! Grab some snacks and a blanket and get out there! Whether with the squad or solo, it’s practically a sin to ignore Berlin’s abundance of green!
Neighboring districts Wedding and Gesundbrunnen can be seen as the Northern counterpart to the hip district of Neukölln, with its numerous cafés, bars, clubs and meeting points. Less gentrified than some other districts, these neighborhoods attract a more mature, eccentric and mixed crowd, and houses many attractions to accommodate. We’ve scouted out some interesting places to check out, whether you’re in the mood for a weekend of partying or just taking a stroll through the park. Click on to see the places loved by locals, and venture into some the coolest places in Wedding and Gesundbrunnen.

One of the things that’s awesome about Berlin is the fact that it has something for every taste. This applies not just to the art galleries that range from big snobby ones to small playful ones, or the theater culture that has big name actors on huge stages on the one side and experimental pieces in improvised settings on the other. It is also something that you will notice in terms of nightlife. There is basically a party for every type of crowd and for every taste in music. The same goes for the bars and this is something I want to explore today.
What bar type are you? You like the classic ones with the best cocktails in the city? Or are you all about friendly and cosy atmosphere? Or do you like to have an awesome view over the city while sipping on your long drink? In our new comprehensive Bar Guide for Berlin we tried to split up the bar scene of Berlin by different types and give you some recommendation for every taste and occasion.
To save you from having to study the drinks menu for 10 minutes in every bar before you know what to order we consulted the cocktail archive of theBar.com and selected a few suitable drinks for each of our bar types. This website comes in handy when you are looking the right cocktail for you as you can search by occasion, spirit or ingredient and also have a look at the recipes that range from cocktail classics to new trendy drinks. Very practical! But now enjoy our bar and cocktail guide after the jump!
A couple of weeks ago we were invited by a very friendly girl named Claudia (the girl in the picture and yes, she is very friendly) to discover her new concept restaurant Quinoa at Panke e.V. Across from Stattbad Wedding in a quiet terrace we enjoyed a lovely evening by learning more about her vision of healthy food and playfulness with food. While enjoying her delicious vegan snacks Frank, Lia and I talked with her about the vastity of nutritional possibilities Berlin has to offer. At Quinoa they are just serving freshly cooked vegan but still affordable food. Some of the ingredients even come from the garden at Panke e.V. And I can tell you that the food is beyond amazing. This Friday they are organizing a Concert Cocktail with Food, I am very happy to recommend you to go. After the jump there is the flyer with the information and some pictures of our lovely night.
Everybody around me seems to be heartbroken. No surprise when you constantly listen to Lana and Adele! Turn off this turn off and get yourself into a party mood. The last weekend before Christmas is on and those naughty office Christmas celebrations are waiting that either let you wake up in the bed of a workmate you always used to trash-talk about – not anymore, after your poor performance. Or you move on to a club as very year, hammered already, only to behave like an idiot once again. Always the same with you. Don’t worry, just press the reset button on New Years eve, it will all be forgotten. As will be girl or boy who dared to hurt you. And now switch off that pussy-music. Parties after the jump: Read on…
