"She Said" in Berlin features books by female and queer authors only - it's the kind of bookstore that was still missing from our diverse city!

The farmer's market on Karl-Marx-Platz in Rixdorf, Berlin is one of my favorite markets and a favorite of tourists & locals alike! Great street food, too.

Boxhagener Platz, or "Boxi," is Friedrichshain’s vibrant heart, with bars, cafés, a lively park, and weekend markets full of fresh food and vintage finds.

"Rises Delicacies" is a homey Greek restaurant in Berlin that gives you the sensation that you're in Greece sharing a table w/ a family! Amazing moussaka.

"Neuzwei Vintage Store" is a very refreshing escape from ordinary second-hand vintage shops in Berlin-Neukölln. It's like a small, unobtrusive boutique...

"Bikini Berlin" is not your typical mall. Looking over the Zoo and the memorial church, with just some carefully chosen shops, it's in the right direction.
