Hipster coffee in a stunning historical building with 360 views of Berlin.
The best breakfast I have ever eaten in Berlin. Period. I will be coming back for more.
The oldest and most famous beer garden in Berlin. Great beer and delicious true-school german beer dishes: wurst, sauerkraut, pretzels, so on. Must go.
If you want to get tipsy with margaritas (5 euros during the 7-9 PM happy hours) then this is it. Great tacos as well (go on Taco Tuesday). There's also a second Santa Maria in Berlin.
Visited this place twice already, and it did not disappoint. Awesome Korean food, and they also have alcohol from Asia, so you can get a legit Soju.
Probably the most hipster coffee shop in Berlin. A very small venue with patrons getting coffee inside and hopping outside to drink it. Right next to Habibi.
The only ramen we've tried in Berlin, and we found it to be as great as any ramen straight from Japan. Recommended. Cocolo Ramen also has a 2nd location in Berlin.
We found this place to have a bit of a Toronto vibe (as in Gladstone Hotel neighbourhood, the Beaver, etc.). Best place for karaoke.
If you're into Middle Eastern (e.g. Syrian) food then you can't go wrong with Habibi. Legit! Plus there's a great coffee shop opposite (DoubleEye).
Art gallery. When we visited they were showing an exhibition about an American civil rights activist/photographer (Danny Lyon).
If the weather's nice then this is a great place to go. It's a big field (previously an airport) where people go to sit on the grass, bike around, rollerskate. You can loan a bike/etc there too.
Thai food stands that open only during good weather weekends. But anyone can come and open a food stand here too (very grassroots!), so this is very authentic.
Big open-all-year-round Christmas homemade gadget store. Expensive, but probably a must visit around Christmas.
The only reason this place is in this list: the ridiculously huge aquarium in the middle of the hotel. Worth to go into the lobby for it alone. You can also pay to go inside (look up AquaDom).
