Reccy in Berlin

What a good place. I recommend The Bauhaus Archiv (Mies and the lads all under one Gropius roof), a random no-name bar in Tacheles (feels like being in on the squatting days), a restaurant called Sophien Esk near Hackescher Markt (for gross calorie consumption), a café called Anna Blume (named after a poem by Kurt Schwitters) in Prenzlauer Berg, indeed the whole area of Prenzlauer Berg (where I would happily move to, should the populus of Berlin require an Anglo-Hibernian writer) and finally, my new favourite thing, Berliner Weiße mit Waldmeister. Waldmeister is woodruff and it goes into your beer in cordial form, turning it bright green. A tastier drink I haven't known. Apart from Glühwein, the spices of which I bought by the packetful in readiness for the Work Club Christmas party. Thus concludes my reccy in Berlin. Ja!
