Gretsky 3D Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 So here I am at the Berlinale and already fed up with the festival's ticketing/accreditation politics. I feel bad about crawling behind my laptop. As I remember seeing some valuable recommendations in a London thread a while ago, I figured asking watmm what I should see in Berlin couldn't hurt. Shopping -Record stores - braindance stuff and/or soundtracks -weird kitsch second-hand/retro items -trashy photography stuff (polaroid, old film) Culture -anything; movies, music, exhibitions, restaurants Vielen dank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squee Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Kreuzberg! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kreuzberg I stumbled upon some great cafés there and the atmosphere there is quite special Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MortstoX Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Fantastic topic! I'm going to visit a friend that lives in Kreuzberg this weekend. We are going to Watergate for Four Tet/Lindstrøm++ on friday, Hertha-Dortmund and Berghain on saturday, and some films at the Berlinale on Sunday. Action-packed weekend. What I want is a tip for a good Turkish restaurant and a nice place to buy records. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J3FF3R00 Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Culture -anything; movies, music, exhibitions, restaurants When I was there I went to the berlin film museum in potsdamer platz. Worth a trip. We also rented bikes. Great way to see the city. Cool town. When I went it was 2003-2004 and there were all sorts of artist squat galleries along the northern stretch of the mitte. I wonder of those are still there. The one we went to was covered with tons of rad grafitti and was near the cemetary with Brecht's grave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plstik Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Sowjetisches ehrendenkmal in treptower park is pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tokn Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Berghain only if you're white. not in the slightest Yeah, what a stupid thing to say. Why do you think Berghain is racist? There are several threads about this already... Exhibitions: Hamburger Bahnhof and Berlinische Gallerie (contemporary stuff) Retro second-hand stuff (overpriced) you will find almost everywhere. Kreuzberg is a good place to start. But be careful: The Berlin residents don't like tourist hipsters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest dese manz hatin Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 yeah same.... plus lots of black guys, turkish guys (not a given in germany) and so on. i really really don't think they refused him because of his race; they're just incredibly picky and unpredictable.
