Tip from the German Embassy in the United States. Berlin was once described as a city that is “Poor, but sexy.” Today, there is a little more cashflow in and out, but the savvy visitor can still get by on bare minimum every day, while still being able to see things that make Berlin so unique.
Two Words: Street Food
Whether it be Döner, Turkish Pizza, Currywurst, Ice Cream, or a giant cone of french fries, Berlin is famously street food friendly. Here are some tips for great local grub:
Mustafa's Gemüse Kebap is worth the wait, we swear! The line is long, but the Döner are packed full of meat and veggies. Plus, how can you go wrong with MEAT on a STICK? Prices are cheap too, around €3.
After lunch, check out the surrounding shops in Kreuzberg!
Metro Station: Mehringdamm
The Pizza Dach is located on Simon-Dach-Straße, which is well known nightlife hot-spot. For under €3, get some pizza and or plate of pasta in between bars. Like many other take-away joints in Berlin, tables are set up out front for casual diners. Definitely worth a visit!
Metro station: Frankfuter Tor
Wurst drowned in curry sauce, french fries smothered in mayonnaise, Currywurst is a Berlin staple, and Curry 36 is a Berlin institution. If you have any Berlin streetfood, make this your number 1 stop.
Metro Station: Zoologische Garten
