Best Chinese by far in the area with outdoor seating on a lovely street in the summer. Cooks are usually Szechuan, so if you like your food spicy, you can get it. If you can communicate that you want your food more "authentic", they'll skip the somewhat gross starchy sauce they put on some dishes for Westerners.

An authentic Berlin pub, so a but rough around the edges. But full of 20 and 30 somethings after 10/11 PM. Live music on Thursdays, lots of people just having fun in an unpretentious atmosphere. Best - it's a half block away AND open 24 hours.

Gay bar with a Berlin twist. If you want a bit more hardcore, you can't beat it for close and sizzling on Tuesdays and Sundays. Thursday is also generally full. But crowds come after 12 midnight usually. If you don't know German, the name means "Fuck 3000" and you have to ring the bell to get in. They're friendly if you're not too shy - so give a big hello and enjoy the evening. Darkroom downstairs

The time to come is Streetfood Thursdays. Walk around and grab what you want from the many booths. Maybe eat a bit beforehand, because it can honestly get pricey. Full of yuppies, expats, and tourists - and always a lively atmosphere. The area around the Markthalle is great for exploring - called the Wrangelkiez, again lots of food, drink etc.

One of two museums that I'll recommend. Of course the Pergammon and Egyptian museums, and others, are world class. But if you're into European painting from the Middle Ages through the 18th century, the Gemäldegalerie has a stunning collection that isn't too overwhelming. Strong points are Italian Renaissance, Dutch and Flemish, and German.

My other recommendation is the Sammlung Berggruen. Airbnb uses a pic of a playground. No idea why :) But great for Classic Modern - Picasso, Klee, Matisse, and on. Private collection donated to Berlin. Right across the street is the Scharf-Gerstenberg collection of surreal art.

The food is sort of Jewish, sort of restaurant, but very solid. The main reason that I include it is because Knaackstrasse is lovely and leads you into the tangle of Prenzlauerberg's prettiest streets. It's near the water tower (Wasserturm) landmark) and almost next to Berlin's nicest synagogue (which is in a courtyard).

My fitness place and the one of the closest (5-7 minutes). They should be able to give you a day pass (as a trial), but ask if they can let you pay for a few more days. A nice pool and saunas (there is a single-sex sauna for women, but all others are mixed gender).

Why would you eat Japanese in Berlin? I can't answer that question. But if you want to spend some extra money and are missing your Japanese, Shiori is a cut above. Omakase dining (you get what is freshest) and a good crowd. In Mitte with plenty to explore around the area. Reservations are a must - preferably several weeks in advance, as it's a small place with counter seats only.

Why would you want to eat Austrian food in Berlin? Because it's generally done well and tastes better than a Currywurst. Pricier, not over the top, with a relaxing space and quiet outdoor seating. Go for the huge but tender Wienerschnitzel (veal or pork) or my favorite, Tafelspitz (braised beef in two courses). For desert, absolutely save room for Kaiserschmarrn - an incomparable Austrian "pancake" - chopped up and served with powdered sugar and plum preserves.

I haven't been in years and years and years. But Roses never changes. It will definitely give you a taste of West Berlin before the Wall fell. Kreuzberg 36, the area where Roses is located, was right against the Berlin Wall and a center of alternative life into the 90s It's more touristed now, but Roses survives as place to drink to excess and see all types of Berliners party through the night. It's 20 minutes walk from my apartment.

There are a bunch of theaters that show films in their original language or with English subtitles. But Cinestar at Sony Center is the only multiplex with original language (OV or OmU in German). If you want to see a movie, hop on the M41 from Gräfestrasse, right in front of Bierhaus Urban. It's a 15-minute ride. Get off at Potsdamerplatz and head for the Sony Center.

In Germany, there's a difference between a pharmacy (Apotheke, with a big "A" out front) and a drugstore. The main drugstore chains are DM and Rossmann. There's a DM in the basement of Karstadt department store at Hermannplatz. Rossmann is slightly closer. It's the place to buy shampoo, soap, razors, deoderant, tooth paste, and other household goods. But no medicines, which you find in the Apotheke.

Unquestionably the coolest Japanese entrant in my guide. I enjoy the food immensely and am a Japanophile purist who's been to the very best restaurants in Tokyo. Ryotei is inventive, definitely not inexpensive, and it infuses its dishes and atmosphere with a Berlin vibe.

Tian-fu has excellent, authentic Szechuan food. It's definitely better than what passes for Chinese food in most US cities. Be prepared for some really spicy dishes. I recommend one of the fish dishes cooked in chilis with Szechuan peppers. Also some great vegetable dishes, including Chinese vegetables like water spinach. Extensive menu. It's far from my place, but an easy trip from the U-7 Hermannplatz. Reserve ahead on weekends. http://tianfu.de/. The one on Uhlandstrasse is the best.

This nearby restaurant may not be to everyone's liking, so definitely check out the website before you go: https://www.herzundniere.berlin/1/index.html It is original with an admirable concept - when you kill animals, no part should be wasted. So expect lots of dishes with offal and organ meats. In some hands, those dishes could be unappealing.

Along with Berghain, the most famous club in Berlin (if you put KitKat in its own bracket). More outdoorsy, more "through the looking glass", probably younger and straighter. But if you want a unique Berlin club experience, you won't regret waiting in a queque at Sisophys.

Nice pastries and good coffee. Pretty large outdoor area, but often full. One of the handful of nice places on this side of the canal - tends to be a 20 something hipster crowd. Area is often called "Kreuzkölln".
Good pizza with more upscale starters. Lots of expats/hipsters/students. Excellent location on a corner near a bridge over the canal. About 30 minutes walk from my place, so maybe the farthest you'll want. One of the handful of nice places on this side of the canal - tends to be a 20 something hipster crowd. Area is often called "Kreuzkölln". to walk.
