Wolf Kino Berlin
Indie cinema meets Japanese lunch
Anna from Berlin
When the movie theater Wolf Kino opened in this still rather unnoticed corner of Neukölln, I was really excited but also a bit skeptical. Would it be hip and expensive, messing with the DIY charm of the neighboring K-Fetisch café and Heiner's bar? Fortunately, it turned out that this cinema with the iconic wolf figures hanging outside would go with the flow. The Wolf restaurant and bar area are warmly but not overly decorated, the multiple screening rooms as small and cozy as living rooms. My favorite time to go is in the evening, when the bar is beautifully illuminated with candles, and at lunchtime, when out of an almost invisible kitchen window you are handed delicious dishes of the day by the Japanese chef Machiko (she also cooks at the bar Broschek).
If you are curious: Outside the door, in a transparent mail box, you can grab the Wolf crew's DIY cinema magazine, always with a cool poster of a movie currently playing. Definitely check their program for special screenings and events, which they carefully curate. This arthouse movie theater has a classy DIY charm that you can surprise others with or simply enjoy by yourself.

A close getaway!
"Lietzenseepark" in Berlin is a calm park with playgrounds, space for picnics, a lake with ducks... I like sitting close to the fountain & facing the lake.

The best falafel in town

SPRO
The Heart of Prenzlauer Berg
What makes them even more special is their friendly nature. On most days, you might run into their owner Jonathan, the heart and soul of the café. SPRO would not shine the same way without his thoughtfulness.

Rüyam 2
Berlin's Best Döner
They take the traditional döner in Berlin and transform it into a borderline art form. With flavorful sauces, meat, vegetables, spices, herbs, bread, and cheese, there's no wonder each bite tastes better than the last.

Libanon Falafel
Berlin's Cheapest Snack
For €2, you can enjoy their falafel, shawarma, or kafta wrap. Their falafel wrap can be fully plant-based, too, just let them know, so they omit some sauces. They're better off as a snack because they're a bit on the smaller side.
