Qianmen Street Food Showdown?

So, I'm heading to Qianmen next month. I've heard the street food is AMAZING but also... overwhelming. Seriously, the sheer number of choices is kinda terrifying. My question is: what's the ONE dish I...

Berlin

Is Berlin so empty in summer because everyone is in turkey?
