The only way is up!

Why not rent a bicycle and cycle down to the Upcycle Fashion Store in Berlin Mitte?! The outlet in Linienstraße 77 is the first of its kind in the capital. Upcycling being the ‘big brother’, no, better ‘big sista’ of recycling. http://upcycling-fashion.com/about/

“Upcycling is the process of converting waste materials or useless products into new materials or products of [...] Continue Reading…

Gruenewoche Berlin starts today in Berlin – January 20th – 29th 2012

Everyone knows about the Reinheitsgebot or the laws governing the making of Beer in Germany – the “German Beer Purity Law” or the “Bavarian Purity Law.

It stated that the only ingredients that could be used in the making of beer was water, barley and hops. The law originated in the city of Ingolstadt in the duchy of Bavaria on 23 April [...] Continue Reading…

Currywurst - Berlin Fast Food

Having moved to Berlin from Belfast, I must admit that I have quite fallen in love with this magnificent city. The exciting hustle and bustle of big city life is as apparent here as it is in all major cities, but in Berlin it comes without the stress and aggravation that accompany it all too often in [...] Continue Reading…

Huehner Haus at Goerlitzer Park, Berlin

Its not overall that often that what can literally be described as an “On Street” Chicken house, or chicken takeaway, is inundated with customers from almost the bare second it opens its flaps and begins to serve. But Huehner Haus on Skalitzer Strasse on the corner of Görlitzer Str… Or “Cocaine Chicken” as we prefer to refer to it as, happens to [...] Continue Reading…

Hooters Girls

So I was wondering though Tiergarten with a friend of mine who had come to visit me from the States, and I was literally living in the city only three days or so, and so therefore had little or no bearings whatsoever. We had decided to check out the west of the Berlin and then made our [...] Continue Reading…

Hot and Spicy in Berlin – It is possible if you know where to go – by OTA-Berlin Constituency Blog contributor Evo Lucian

For some reason, German people, in general, do not particularly like spicy food, something I have discussed in previous articles. However, I recently discovered a great Thai restaurant on Oderberger Strasse (near Mauer Park) called The Royal Elephant.

Here you can order your meal and choose the level of spiciness you want from a choice of ‘mild’, ‘scharf’ [...] Continue Reading…

Neil on Foooooooood!!! – Nord Sud Restaurant, Berlin-Mitte – by OTA-Berlin Constituency Blog contributor Neil A Yung

Tuesday, October 18th, 2011

We have all done the delirious walk around a new city, passing and second looking cafes and restaurants; unsure but yet eager to get inside. Well this is where I will help. Eating out in Berlin’s many great cafes and restaurants is something I just can not get enough of doing, especially when I have a hoard [...] Continue Reading…

Where to get some German food in Berlin – by OTA-Berlin Constituency Blog contributor Michael Thumstaedter

A few weeks ago I had some small-talk with a guy from Ethiopia. We were exchanging some polite questions as one usually does with people one knows next to nothing about. Finally I got to the point, where I asked him what he did like most about Berlin. His face brightened: “Ah, you can buy food around [...] Continue Reading…

Tempelhof Airport in 1984 – foto Wikipedia by TSGT Jose Lopez Jr., US Air Force

Organic sunflowers, hot peppers, chestnut trees, paprika, millet, kale and chestnut trees is what one smells now between the former runways of the airport Tempelhof instead of aviation fuel.

Where expensive business jets landed and were parked side by side as late as the 2008 World Cup held in [...] Continue Reading…

No need to queue: Azul Restaurant in Kreuzberg – by OTA-Berlin Constituency Blog contributor Nikolaus Triantafillou

Nikolaus Triantafillou

An Italian restaurant in Kreuzberg with plenty of free tables? Quite hard to imagine in this densely populated, hip inner-city district. When we visited the “Azul” on a Saturday night, only a few tables were taken, even though the location between the underground stations Görlitzer Bahnhof and Schlesisches Tor is fairly convenient and the area is [...] Continue Reading…

‘Funny Pictures from Berlin’ – “Angry Chicken…so so Angry” Berlin Manteuffelstraße, bei Görlitzer Bahnhof – submitted by OTA-Berlin guest

Saturday, August 27th, 2011

 
Yes ANGRY CHICKEN  indeed!
You can just envisage Colonel Saunders being  cornered by 2000 angry Chickens.
As a name for a restaurant, in these times when most chickens and other birds are fowly treated – if you will excuse the pun- and at time when vegetarianism is gaining a foothold in even Germany - a bastion of dead-animal eaters, is questionable!
People would rather not know [...] Continue Reading…
