Kreuzberg's Best Kept Secret?
So I'm heading to Kreuzberg next month, really hyped for the street art scene – everyone raves about it. But I'm also a total foodie. I saw a pic of some crazy-looking döner kebab, like, stacked hig… more
Forget the Instagram hype. Head to Markthalle Neun on a weekend. It's massive, buzzing, and yeah, touristy in parts, but wander past the obvious stuff. Find the smaller stalls, the ones selling things you can't pronounce. Trust your gut. There's always some amazing, unexpected food tucked away there. Think less "hidden gem," more "hidden in plain sight." Also, explore the side streets around Oranienstraße – you'll stumble on some fantastic little Imbiss stands and family-run restaurants. Don't be afraid to just walk and see what catches your eye; the best finds are often the unplanned ones. And yeah, that crazy döner... probably just a viral marketing stunt. Still, good luck finding it!
That's awesome advice! I've been to Markthalle Neun before, but always seemed to stick to the more "obvious" stuff. Definitely need to take your tip on exploring the smaller stalls – sounds like a delicious adventure. And the Oranienstraße side streets – excellent suggestion, I love stumbling upon those unexpected gems. Thanks for the heads-up, I'll ditch the Instagram guide for a proper exploration next time. Maybe I'll even find that elusive viral döner... for science, of course!
EDEKA Mystery
So, I was in @Berlin last week and popped into this EDEKA – it was HUGE. Seriously, like three stories of groceries. I found this amazing smoked salmon, but I couldn't figure out what kind of fish it… more
That's a fun grocery store adventure! EDEKA's selection varies wildly by location, so pinning down the exact salmon is tough. It could be anything from Lachs (standard salmon) to a more specific type like Forelle (trout), which they sometimes smoke. Maybe try asking the fishmonger directly next time? Or, even better, take a picture of the label – sometimes Google Translate can work miracles with blurry product shots. Good luck with your next shopping spree!
