WELCOME TO BERLIN

Romance Aplenty What makes love so unique is that it comes in all different forms and shapes. Even if we often lack the words to describe it, we all know how it feels – and many of us spend our lives chasing it. It can be a person, a situation, a belief, a song, a piece of art, or a place. And although Berlin is certainly not the most romantic of cities, many of its corners are imbued with a historic significance and symbolic beauty that makes them the perfect backdrop for romance.

Take a Sunday morning at the flea market surrounded by the pretty buildings of Arkonaplatz, or a rich breakfast at Potemkin on Viktoria-Luise-Platz in Schöneberg. Or an in-depth exploration of the Hackesche Höfe courtyards, followed by an evening spent ice skating at the Horst-Dohm Eisstadion in Wilmersdorf. This city can offer many romance-inspiring activities, and February is the right time of year to express the love you feel to your partner, your best friend, or even just yourself. Need more ideas? Turn to p.16 for a roundup of Where favorites for a unique Valentine's Day in the German capital.

Described as "circus and jazz served straight up," Scotch & Soda is the latest show to hit the stage at Chamäleon Theater.

Berlin may not be Germany's biggest Carnival destination, but anyone wishing to celebrate before the beginning of the sober Lent period can still don a costume and take part in the colorful Faschingszug parade along Ku’damm (19 Feb) or attend the concluding party, this year with guest star Frank Zander.

TAPAS WITH A MOVIE

STAR

Rachel Stern sat down with renowned GermanSpanish actor Daniel Brühl to talk about how he's bringing his passion for Spanish cooking to Berlin.

M

any know Daniel Brühl, 38, as one of the most versatile actors of the modern day. He first rose to international fame with the Berlin-based Good Bye Lenin! (2003), and has since starred in more than 30 films in his native German and Spanish, as well as English and French.

In 2009, he played Private First Class Fredrick Zoller in Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds, and this coming year he will star in World War II drama The Zookeeper's Wife and sci-fi horror film The God Particle.

Besides acting, the Barcelona-born actor has another big passion: food. He owns the colorful Bar Raval in Kreuzberg (Lübbener Str. 1), a modern tapas bar and restaurant with a suave and stylish feel, and will soon be opening Bar Gràcia in Prenzlauer Berg, named after the Barcelona neighborhood where he lives when not in Berlin.

Brühl also recently launched a new line of hand-selected Spanish gourmet products packed up in tapas boxes that can be purchased online (www.barraval.com). Feast on this: a vegetarian option containing olive tapenade with chocolate and onion chutney, or the so-called “exquisite" box filled with acorn-fed Iberian ham and octopus.

Sitting in the dimly lit Bar Raval nearby a savory spread of tapas, Daniel Brühl talked about his culinary passions and how he balances his two hometowns of Berlin and Barcelona.

In your new documentary Mein Barcelona we can see you at a market in search of the ingredients to make the perfect paella. Are you much of a chef yourself, or do you leave the cooking to others?

The market in the film is around the corner

from where I live in Barcelona. Everybody knows me, and I love buying spices there.

I’m starting to become a better chef, but I still see a difference between my skills and those of my Italian friends, or our chef.

How will your second restaurant, Bar Gràcia, differ from Bar Raval?

Well, the ambiance will be similar, but in terms of cuisine I don’t think it will be braver, although our challenge is to always surprise people, so we will bring in some new elements. New influences

will come from Sergio, the Spanish chef who will train our team. Prenzlauer Berg reminds us in a way of Gràcia, my neighborhood in Barcelona, and that's why we called it that.

You’ve mentioned that you divide your time between Barcelona in the winter and Berlin in the summer and warmer months.

How do these two cities balance each other out for you?

I think they’re both great, and both have their pros and cons.

Berlin is a wonderful, w w w. w h e re t r ave l e r. c o m 11

very international place with a unique atmosphere: you can really see history like nowhere else. It’s not as pretty as Paris, Barcelona, or London, but it really has its own, very peculiar charm. It also has a great nightlife, and great social and cultural offerings. Barcelona is much smaller. Everything happens within the neighborhood, which sometimes makes life a bit provincial. But of course it makes up for this by having the sea, the mountains, the Mediterranean light, the architecture, and the Spanish social life.

You act in several languages and take on a number of roles. Which language in which you feel the most yourself in?

It would be both German and Spanish.

I grew up with these two and I see the strengths of both, so it depends on the part. Language ultimately changes the way you act and move. It’s interesting to see the advantages that a certain language has in expressing certain concepts. Spanish is purely more emotional. It’s a wonderful language for cursing [laughs].

German is very precise, very logical, and I actually love that.

And it’s more romantic than you would think.

Muchas gracias.

De nada.

What would your perfect day in Berlin look like, if you were to film a Mein Berlin?

Back in 2001, I landed in Prenzlauer Berg, where most of my friends lived. I know some people criticize this neighborhood, saying that it's not as exciting as it used to be and that there are now too many babies. I still love it. So my day would probably start here, followed by a walk to the Friedrichshain park. I also really enjoy meeting people for lunch in Mitte. A place I like is 3 Minutes sur Mer (Torstr. 167, www.3minutessurmer.de). It’s always nice to wander around Mitte because of its galleries and the shops. I also love stopping at the Jüdische Mädchenschule (Auguststr. 11-13, www.maedchenschule.org) for New York cheesecake or pastrami on rye bread.

This year, I plan to get a boat license, as I discovered how beautiful Berlin is on the water – there is so much water! Another thing I love are these clubs that have both inside and outside spaces, like Jonny Knüppel (Schleusenufer 4A), and many others down Schlesische Straße. There’s always some good music to listen to and the vibe is great because the people are chilled.

Berlin's Red Carpet

Glamorous but down-to-earth, daring but easy-going. The Berlinale film festival brings the world's best movies to Berlin. Solveig Steinhardt discovered the festival's intriguing history. began to grow. But the Berlinale still maintained its function as a tool of propaganda: When the Wall went up in 1961, the organizers made sure to place at least 500 posters by the barrier, so East Berliners could see them. Perhaps because of this fascinating history, over the years the festival has developed a reputation for presenting controversial and daring productions, often politically charged or probing the boundaries of art and cinema.

While the year's special guests and program details are not usually announced until a few days before the festival begins, the list of cinemas hosting Berlinale screenings is already available online, so audiences can already pick their favorite theater. Some of these are worth a visit just for their historic significance, such as the gigantic Friedrichstadt-Palast, home to the largest stage in the world and the official "film palace" for the duration of the festival; Zoo Palast, boasting an exceptional lighting and sound system; the GDRstyle Kino International; the stately Filmtheater am Friedrichshain; and the Colosseum, a 1920s architectural gem known for its program of independent films.

F

ebruary is cinema month in the German capital, and as the Berlin International Film Festival gets ready to roll out its red carpet for the 67th time to welcome movie stars and stellar producers, crowds are starting to gather at the festival's ticket counters. The Berlinale, one of the world's "big three" film festivals, counts many glamorous guests each year but remains a very down-to-earth event, with screenings for everyone to enjoy in approximately 20 movie theaters around town.

What's really fascinating, however, is the festival's unconventional history. Unlike other important film festivals around the world, the Berlinale was born out of political reasons. Back in 1951, when the divided city was covered in rubble, a Berlinstationed US army film officer named Oscar Martay decided to bring some glamour over to this side of the Atlantic with an international film festival that would also serve as a symbol of Western freedom in Cold War Berlin. The first edition of the Berlinale was a success, with Alfred Hitchcock's Rebecca as the opening film, but the city's isolated position meant that for the first few years the festival had to struggle to survive. In 1958, however, the event was granted the same status as other big European festivals, and its international fame

PURE INDULGENCE If your idea of romance is wining and dining, hurry and book a table at Grill Royal (Friedrichstr. 105b, www.grillroyal. com), which has long been one of Mitte’s favorite tony restaurants. Besides riverside views and an art-filled

interior that exemplifies understated chic, the restaurant is rife with celebrity sightings during this month’s Berlinale film festival (9–19 February). The highlight of the menu is premium steak off the namesake grill, but Valentine’s Day also calls for oysters – with champagne, of course.

JUST DO SOMETHING For some couples, nothing keeps the romance alive better than shared experiences. For a fun couples’ activity that promises plenty of laughs, why not drop in to Clärchens Ballhaus (Auguststr. 24, www. ballhaus.de) for a crash course in tango?

First opened in 1913, this classic dance hall in Mitte has been bringing couples closer on the dance floor for more than a century. Dancers of all levels of experience are welcome at the Tuesday evening tango classes, held upstairs in the stunning Spiegelsaal, or “mirror room,” which is the very embodiment of faded grandeur. On other nights of the week, there are also drop-in classes in swing, salsa, and more.

For the opportunity to get creative together, sign up for a couples’ workshop at Frau Tonis (Zimmerstr. 13, www.frautonis-parfum.com), a boutique perfumery that blends its own diverse scents, many of them with a unique hometown theme (“Eau de Berlin,” “Berlin Summer”). While sipping prosecco and doing plenty of sniffing, you’ll get the chance to explore your olfactory profiles

SHOPPING | THE GUIDE

Clockwise, from left: a brooch from Wempe; a Chopard necklace; a ring

by APM Monaco. Inset, below: A classic ring by Wagner Preziosen.

Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend If you’re planning on popping the question this Valentine’s Day, you’re not alone. Despite the perceived cheesiness of declaring your eternal love on a commercial holiday, almost six million people do it each year, according to an American Express consumer survey. Here are some of our favorite jewelry stores to ensure you’re well equipped for the occasion.

Specializing in engagement and wedding rings, Niessing (Stilwerk, Kantstr. 17, www. niessing.com) is renowned for contemporary jewelry design and has received multiple Red Dot design awards. Their manufactory in Vreden near the German-Dutch border is the heart of the company, and oversees everything from design to melting of the gold bars to setting of the diamond. The Niessing gold color spectrum is unique worldwide, as is its Spannring ring, with only the tension of the two metal ends holding the gem in place.

If it’s pure luxury you are after, visit Wempe

(Kurfürstendamm 215, www.wempe.com), one of Germany’s oldest family-owned companies. Established in 1878 as just a small watchmaker’s workshop, it quickly became an international brand for exquisite timepieces and jewelry. The current line of BY KIM engagement rings, introduced by the current owner and great-granddaughter of the founder, is the ultimate crown for anyone’s love story.

Devoted to the various eras of jewelry making, Wagner Preziosen (Mommsenstr. 4, www.wagner-preziosen.de) carries both antiques and avant-garde pieces, as well as its own Wagner collection, combining classical jewelry with an exciting range of materials. One highlight is the sphere ring, made out of red gold with an engraved sun beneath a smoky quartz cabochon to convey different effects when

viewed from different angles.

If you lack the words, a romantic gesture in the form of Chopard jewelry (Kurfürstendamm 54, www.chopard.com) will surely do the trick. Founded in 1860, this premium timepiece maker is also world-renowned for its haute-couture jewelry, engagement rings, and other accessories. Classics such as Chopard For Ever and For Ever Ring Pavé are a tribute to the exceptional expertise of Chopard’s craftsmen.

However, if you’re not ready to tie the knot and are just looking for a special gift, then enter APM Monaco (Kurfürstendamm 217, www.apm-monaco. com). This popular contemporary fashion jewelry brand is inspired by the joie de vivre of southern France and will surely not disappoint.

THE GUIDE | SIGHTSEEING

Where It All Began

all photos: © istock.

Solveig Steinhardt explored the pretty alleys of Nikolaiviertel, where Berlin was born.

Known as Berlin's authentic "old town," the riverside tangle of characterful cobbled alleys surrounding the Nikolaikirche dates back to the 12th century, when Berlin and its twin town of Cölln (now Museum Island) were first built.

The Nikolaiviertel, as the district is called, was always the city's oldest residential neighborhood, and before WWII it was lined with inns, shops, and small businesses. But after war bombings destroyed most of its buildings, the area lay in ruins until 1987, when, to celebrate Berlin's 750th birthday, the city of East Berlin decided to use historic models to build replicas of the old buildings and to resuscitate the neighborhood's old style and scale.

Today, the small streets exude the German flavor of a bygone era, and a walk through the alleys is a great way to understand the mood and atmosphere of old Berlin. Upon closer inspection, however, you will find the occasional GDR detail, such as concrete decorations where stuccos once were, or peculiar Plattenbau

blocks, to remind us that not everything we see is original, and adding to the area's historic significance. Nikolaiviertel is filled with small antique and artists' shops, including the marvelous Käthe Kruse doll manufactory (Propststr. 4), and traditional German Kneipen such as Brauhaus Georgbräu (www.brauhaus -georgbraeu.de), serving delicious pork knuckles and sauerkraut in a cellar-like locale.

To learn more about the area, visit the Nikolaikirche, hosting a permanent exhibition on the history of the church and its surroundings. The nearby Ephraim Palais (www.en.stadtmuseum.de), now also a museum, provides a marvelous example of 18th-century palace architecture in Berlin and hosts regular art exhibitions, while the Knoblauch-Haus (www.en.stadtmuseum.de) gives visitors a glimpse into the life of a rich 19th-century family, exploring Biedermeier culture and social life through faithfully reconstructed rooms, furniture, documents, and paintings. www.wheretraveler.com 33

Major Sights The “Alex” TV Tower The 368m- (1027ft)-high TV tower of Alexanderplatz can be seen from almost any point in the city and has been iconic of Berlin ever since it was built by the GDR in 1969. The giant steel-clad sphere atop houses a revolving restaurant and café as well as a viewing platform. The elevator ride lasts 40 seconds. Arrive early to avoid lines. Daily 9am–midnight (Nov–Feb from 10am). €13/8.50. www.tv-turm.de. Panoramastr. 1a.

Berliner Dom The city’s neo-Renaissance cathedral was begun in the late 1700s, finished in 1905, and renovated in simplified form after WWII damage. Walk up 267 steps for glorious views of the city from the dome, or stay on the ground floor to gaze at elaborate sarcophagi containing the royal remains of Hohenzollern family members. Thanks to the church’s perfect acoustics and a 7200-pipe organ, the Dom is also an important concert venue.

Brandenburg Gate MUST SEE The definitive Berlin icon, Carl Gotthard

Langhans’ Neoclassical triumphal arch has witnessed the city’s best and worst moments, from the military parades of the Third Reich to the Wall being raised and torn down. Formerly behind GDR borders, today the gate acts mainly as the backdrop for festivals, New Year’s Eve parties, and tourist snapshots.

U Brandenburger Tor. D3/E3

Nikolaiviertel and Knoblauchhaus The Nikolaiviertel is where Berlin was born, and the area still retains its ancient character, although most of the buildings in the narrow medieval alleys are replicas of destroyed originals that dated back to the 1200s. The late-Gothic Nikolaikirche, Berlin’s oldest surviving building, is now a museum. Other points of interest include the Ephraim Palais Museum and the Biedermeierstyle Knoblauchhaus, a 19th-century middleclass townhouse that escaped WWII damage.

Knoblauch Haus: Tue–Sun 10am–6pm. www.knoblauchhaus.de. Poststr. 23. T: 030.240020171. S+U Alexanderplatz. F3

Potsdamer Platz Before the war, Potsdamer Platz was the city’s beating heart, with department stores, banks, internationally known theaters, dance halls, and cafés. WWII bombs obliterated 80 percent of the square, which was left in limbo for a few years and then enclosed in a no-man’s-land between the Wall and barbed wire fences. The square came back to life in the 1990s as a modern reinterpretation of its original self. Divided in three slices, it includes the Sony building with its central plaza; Daimler City, home to a large shopping mall; and the Manhattan-style Beisheim Center building. S+U Potsdamer Platz. D3

Reichstag and Foster’s Glass Cupola MUST SEE In the last 100 years, the massive neo-Renaissance building, now the seat of German Parliament, has been bombed, set on fire, wrapped by artist Christo, and renovated by Lord Norman Foster. Climb the glass cupola for a 360-degree view of the city, then gaze down at parliament in session.

The plenary hall can be visited only on guided tours.

Historic Sites Asisi’s Wall Panorama Yadegar Asisi created a panorama of divided Berlin, presenting everyday life against the backdrop of the Wall on an imaginary day in the 1980s. The artist's aim was to show how the population came to terms with the situation, and the result gives onlookers a glimpse of East German life. Daily 10am–6pm. €10/4. www.asisi.de.

Berlin Wall Documentation Center MUST SEE Walk along one of the few surviving stretches of the Berlin Wall in an area of the city where its impact was particularly dramatic, then delve into its storied history at the documentation center. Documents and original radio broadcasts from both East and West chronicle one of Germany’s saddest historical periods. Open-air exhibition: 8am-10pm daily; documentation center: Tue–Sun 10am–6pm. Free. www.berliner-mauer-

Charlottenburg Palace The summer home of Sophie Charlotte, wife of King Friedrich I of Prussia, reflects the grandeur of the Hohenzollern family. Begun in 1695, the luxury Baroque complex consists of a main building with a central cupola and two side wings, added in later years, that enclose a courtyard. The picturesque park surrounding the castle includes a formal French-style garden, English garden with pond and statues, belvedere, and mausoleum. The castle hosts temporary art and history exhibitions.

Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gedächtniskirche The church’s bombed-out bell tower has been an anti-war memorial and symbol of West Berlin ever since its ruins were restored to their present state in 1957.

In East Berlin’s Very Backyard Up until October 1990, the Stasi, East Germany's secret police, operated a political prison in the restricted military area of Hohenschönhausen, in the deep northeast of East Berlin. Eerily, by omitting the Stasi Prison (p. 35) from all maps, the penitentiary flew under the public radar until after reunification, and knowledge of the prison and its horrific operations are known today mainly through first-hand accounts. The long halls, some subterranean, are flanked by cells that once housed prisoners who were subjected to psychological torture, including sleep deprivation and isolation.

Nowadays, the site is a memorial dedicated to the formerly interned, several of whom now lead tours. A permanent exhibition on site, featuring photographs, letters, and artefacts, gives visitors a glimpse of the hardships the imprisoned had to endure and of the oppressive measures of the GDR regime. (English tours daily at 2:30pm.)

An intricate series of interconnected courtyards provides an example of early-19th-century German Secessionist style. The first courtyard is entirely decorated with glazed blue-and-white tiles in geometric designs, while the apartment buildings and narrow, maze-like alleys lined with cafés, shops, and theaters give the Höfe an atmosphere both familiar and fascinating.

Berlin Zoo and Aquarium

While West Berliners loved to express their creativity by drawing graffiti and painting on the Wall, East Berliners were never allowed to use the dividing structure as a canvas. To make up for all the artless years, artists from 21 countries were called upon in 1990 to decorate one mile of the Wall's eastern segment with their work, creating what is now known as the East Side Gallery.

MUSEUMS & GALLERIES | THE GUIDE

A Private Glimpse Into The City Of Art Serene Tseng steps into the private realm of art collecting.

With more museums and galleries than rainy days, it’s no wonder that Berlin is filled with art. But what makes art in the capital even more fascinating is how closely interwoven its presence is in the lives of private collectors. These Berliners often welcome visitors into their homes, offering not only a glimpse into their collection, but also giving the public the opportunity to appreciate art in an alternative space.

The most famous private collection is me Collectors Room (www.me-berlin.com), where owner Thomas Olbricht's hosts other collectors from the world over to bring together art and discuss its meaning.

Not too far away and housed in a gigantic, five-story WWII air raid bunker, the Sammlung Boros (www.sammlung-boros. de) is home to a large collection of international contemporary art from 1990 to

the present, featuring works from artists such as Ai Weiwei, Olafur Eliasson, and Alicja Kwade. Artists set up the installations themselves, so the physicality of the ample space is used with intention. For the visitor, the overlapping of different mediums and media – the sculptures, installations, paintings, video, sound, and photography – becomes an interactive experience.

The Feuerle Collection (www.thefeuerlecollection. org) is similarly housed inside a WWII-era telecommunication bunker and features contemporary art next to Chinese design and Khmer sculpture. Furniture from bygone eras, from the Han Dynasty to the Qing, is shown alongside 7th- to 13th-century Khmer sculptures. The juxtaposition fosters dialogue

between the different cultures and periods.

Since 1997, Erika Hoffmann and her late husband have been opening their doors to their private collection, housed in a former sewing machine factory. The Sammlung Hoffmann (www. sammlung-hoffmann.de) features work by artists such as Wolfgang Tillmans, Katharina Grosse, and Isa Genzken, and Hoffmann herself rearranges and switches out pieces in the gallery every July to encourage new interpretations. Interestingly, there are no information panels next to each work, letting visitors focus on their emotional connection with the work.

Before visiting, advance registration for a guided tour is required on the collectors' respective websites.

A Stifling World 2016 recipient of the Hannah-Höch-Preis Cornelia Schleime is a very innovative artist.

Originally from East Berlin, Schleime attended Dresden’s Academy of Fine Arts in the late '70s, becoming a part of a collective of young artists that dissented against the restrictive GDR art policy, and eventually causing the government to ban her from exhibiting. When she fled to West Berlin, almost all her work disappeared. Since then, she has recreated and reimaged her pieces as landscapes and large-scale portraits. Her vivid paintings have hints of the fantastic and supernatural and are unapologetically bold. Defiant, in fact, and unsettling.

A Blink Of An Eye will be showing at the Berlinische Galerie (p. 39) until 24 April.

Take a walk through

Berlin’s history

With photographers ranging from the unknown to renown, from within Berlin’s Wedding neighborhood to Wyoming, Kreuzberg Amerika at C/O Berlin (this page) showcases some of the most starkly telling photographs of the 1970s and 1980s taken by former members of Germany's famous Werkstatt für Fotografie. This academy provided free education in documentary photography and promoted free expression beyond academic constraints, eventually developing a special artistic dialogue between amateurs and professionals.

Investing in artistic connections between the two sides of the Atlantic, the Werkstatt managed to capture the zeitgeist of its era in its full beauty, glory, and ugliness.

DINING | THE GUIDE

Sweets For My Sweet Dessert is not just a special treat – it’s a part of any well-balanced diet, Hilda Hoy believes. Don’t miss these favorite sweet spots, perfect for Valentine’s Day and every other day, too.

A friend of mine has a magnet on her fridge featuring a memorable quote: “Life is uncertain. Eat dessert first.” And why ever not? Dessert is not only the perfect finale to a satisfying meal, it’s also a way to treat ourselves at any time of day. Or, as Coda Dessert Bar shows, dessert can even be the main feature all by itself.

Coda (Friedelstr. 47, www.coda-berlin.com) is one of Berlin’s most exciting recent restaurant openings. In a corner of Neukölln better known for its hip bars than its gastronomy, Coda is making a big impact with its understated chic and ambitious culinary concept. At the core of the concept are dessert and cocktail pairings, which can be ordered à la carte or as part of a deluxe menu of up to six courses. The dishes themselves may challenge you to broaden your dessert horizons, balancing a variety of salty and savory flavors such as goat’s cheese

and beet with more typical ingredients like dark chocolate and pistachios. In my dish, mascarpone cream was plated with yellow tomato confit and tomato sorbet and dotted with cubes of gingerbread, with a bourbonhazelnut-coriander cocktail to match. Co-founder René Frank is a distinguished pâtissier with years of Michelin Star-caliber experience, and every one of his creations here not only look like works of art, they’re also a delight for the senses. Make sure to order some of the crispy, caramel-kissed pork rinds to snack on, flavored with just a whisper of Chinese five-spice powder.

When it comes to the art of fine desserts and

beautiful pastry confections, there’s no country more renowned than France, and rightly so. To find all the luscious éclairs, perfect little tarts, cannelés, luxuriously flaky millefeuilles, and exquisite macarons that will make your heart go pitter-patter, head to Mitte’s Du Bonheur (Brunnenstr. 39, www. dubonheur.de). Anna Plagens, the master behind the shop’s creations, learned her craft in renowned confectioneries in Paris and Vienna before setting up her own shop here in Berlin. Grab a seat to enjoy a few of her creations with a café au lait, but make sure to get a few macarons packed up to go as well, because I guarantee you’ll be craving them.

Richard’s Riches Berlin is filled with many special little corners, so it’s not every day that a restaurant interior can take your breath away from the first glance. But Richard is undeniably stunning, bringing together a grand mid-1800s space – featuring carved wooden ceilings and stained-glass windows – with contemporary design accents such as glass globe chandeliers and striking modern art. (For more about the story behind Richard and its creator, turn to page 58 for our interview with founder Hans Richard.) The restaurant, which earned its first Michelin star in 2015, does its own understated, refined take on French cuisine, changing the menu monthly to take advantage of the bounty of the season. I can’t decide what I enjoyed the most: the perfectly seared scallop on a puddle of parsnip puree; the tender, medium-rare venison plated with roast chicory and crunchy toasted quinoa; the coconut mousse with saffron-scented pineapple wedges; or simply the classy art-filled scenery. Luckily I don’t have to choose, because an evening at Richard has it all – memorable food and location both. On weekends, there’s only one seating per evening, the aim being to create a relaxed atmosphere, with diners lounging late into the night on the plush banquettes. – Hilda Hoy Köpenicker Str. 174.

THE GUIDE | ENTERTAINMENT

I Like To Be In America!

Fischer mit orchester, photo by marco borggreve; Frank zappa, Courtesy of the Archives of the Zappa Family Trust, Yellow Shark.

Solveig Steinhardt is ready for ten days of American groove.

Music is certainly one of the US's best products – along with the Grand Canyon and Lucky Charms, if you ask me. From jazz, blues, and Broadway musicals to rock'n'roll and film music, the US has been feeding the world rhythm and poetry for more than a century. This month, Konzerthaus Berlin will be presenting ten days of American sounds with a vast program touching all of the most important milestones in American musical culture.

The busy New York City streets of the early 1900s are probably the most iconic image of the American melting pot, and nobody has captured the city's soundscapes better than George Gershwin. With his combination of jazz and classical, Gershwin was able to represent the raucous streets of Manhattan in sound form. From 16 to 18 February, pianist and conductor Wayne Marshall and the Konzerthausorchester will be performing some of the composer's most popular pieces

along with songs by another American master, Leonard Bernstein, who used the Broadway musical to depict the America of the 1950s. Be prepared for tunes such as I Got Rhythm, The Man I Love, New York Rhapsody, and Some Other Time.

Those who just can't get enough of New York should also pick one of the Rush Hour Concerts, held every day at 6pm. Taking place in a more informal setting with a café-style table arrangement, the concert series offers a lively musical break from your sightseeing, and features more of Gershwin's fabulous New World music.

And what would America be without animation? As special effects get more and more impressive every year, we should not

forget the importance of these films' soundtracks, often Oscar- or Grammy-winning.

On 19 February, take your kids to the PIXAR concert for a couple of hours of popular songs from animated pictures such as Finding Nemo, Robots, Ratatouille, and more.

Lovers of Frank Zappa, the self-taught genius of American rock, should not miss the Ensemble Modern's orchestra interpretation of songs from his two albums The Yellow Shark and Greggery Peccary and Other Persuasions, on 22 February. But the festival's real highlight is without a doubt Dee Dee Bridgewater, queen of jazz and soul since the 1960s. The Grammy winner will be at Konzerthaus on 25 February only, with a program of popular songs for all to enjoy. www.wheretraveler.com 47

NIGHTLIFE | THE GUIDE

Green Door. Inset, below: Becketts Kopf.

Secrets And Cocktails Walk through any of Berlin’s trendy neighborhoods and you will come across dozens of bars that beckon you to step inside their cozy interiors during these wintry months. Some of the city’s best finds, however, involve a bit more of a search, recalling the illicit establishments that sold alcoholic beverages during the Prohibition era in the American 1920s. Often located down winding staircases, long hallways, or minimalist entrances, Berlin's speakeasies carry the elegance of another age, an exclusive secrecy, and many of Berlin’s most captivating cocktails.

Living up to its name, Green Door (p. 53) in Schöneberg is barely visible behind a discreet green sign and curtains. Once you enter – only after ringing its doorbell – it will feel like stepping back in time to the '70s, with checkered wallpaper, pin-cushioned couches and kitschy

framed photos on the walls. The modern drinks, however, are a series of sleek concoctions, such as their champagne with lemon, mint, and sugar.

For a more secretive yet stellar atmosphere, head down the spiraling stairs at The Bar Marques (Graefestr. 92) in Kreuzberg, situated under a restaurant by the same name.

Lounge in old armchairs or on the long communal table in what feels more like an antiquated living room.

Known for its creative cocktails, the bar frequently hosts guest bartenders, a renowned lineup spanning the globe.

Dimly illuminated with red lights and a glowing image of its namesake Samuel Beckett, Becketts Kopf (Pappelallee 64, becketts-kopf.de)

is one of Prenzlauer Berg’s most unique spots.

Their drink menu includes everything from Irish “Writer’s Tears” whiskey to Spanish sherry, as well as a selection of Cuban cigars. Those still craving a bite to eat will also be impressed with the finger food menu.

Hidden away from the bustling Friedrichstraße, Drayton Bar (Behrenstr. 55, www. draytonberlin.com) shares a secluded space with another hard-to-find favorite, the gourmet vegetarian restaurant Cookies Cream. To get there, you will need to wind past the Westin Hotel by the Komische Oper, then head behind the trashcans, looking for the door with a small faint sign. Reward yourself once you make it with one of their their custom-made cocktails.

Nobody knows the city better than your expert concierge.

Thomas Munko, president of the German Society of the Golden Keys and Chief Concierge at Ritz-Carlton Berlin, is here to help.

It's cold outside: where can your guests warm up?

At a heartwarming performance in one of Berlin’s various opera houses.

Your guest is looking for ideas for a marriage proposal: any suggestions?

I'd recommend they ask the question during a romantic horse carriage ride through the city, or right before kickoff at a soccer game of Berlin’s team, Hertha BSC, in the middle of the Olympic Stadium.

Can you tell us the five sights not to miss in Berlin?

The Berlin Wall Memorial on Bernauer Straße, the former Stasi Prison in Hohenschönhausen, the Reichstag building, Museum Island, Gendarmenmarkt.

A really unusual place to visit?

Beelitz Heilstätten. It's an abandoned clinic and sanatorium that served as a military hospital during the First and Second World War. Hitler and Honecker were its most famous patients.

What's a great place for a quick bite?

The Street Food Thursday event at Markthalle Neun (Eisenbahnstr. 42-43), every Thursday between 5 and 10pm.

An interesting Berlin story?

Did you know that Berlin has an abandoned airport? Located right in the middle of the city, what once was one of Europe´s most iconic airports was closed to air traffic in 2007, and turned into a park in 2010, when it became Berlin´s biggest public space. It's even larger than New York´s Central Park! Today, Tempelhof is a popular spot for family gatherings, music events, and sports.

What do you like about your job?

The people I meet. Their different backgrounds and perspectives.

Why should one visit Berlin?

To catch the spirit of an evocative past and to be inspired by art, design, and music. And to meet Berlin's mix of cultures.

The best thing about Berliners?

That they come with different fillings – if you mean the pastries [Berliner is also the German word for donut]. That they wear their hearts on their sleeves – if you mean the people.

Where now | HANS RICHARD

Hans Richard [Founder & patron, Restaurant Richard]

Originally from Switzerland, Hans Richard is an artist-turned-chef and restaurateur whose FrenchSwiss restaurant – fittingly named Richard – boasts one of Kreuzberg’s most beautiful interiors. His efforts to make it a special place have paid off: In 2015, Richard was awarded its first Michelin star.

Flip to page 46 for more details.

Köpenicker Str. 174, www.restaurant-richard.de

Before opening your restaurant, you were originally an artist. How did the transition from art to gastronomy come about?

I had developed an interest in cooking over many years. I was simply fascinated by good food and the process of how it is made, and I taught myself various culinary skills along the way. Because I come from a family of hoteliers, making the transition into gastronomy was not a far-fetched step.

One of the most striking characteristics of your restaurant is the historical space and its many fine features. How did you find the space, and did its features influence your restaurant concept?

I knew the restaurants that had been at this location before and heard that the space would be becoming free. The pragmatic decision to move into this location had a strong influence on my design choices for the restaurant, though not on the culinary concept itself.

Another distinctive feature at Richard is the modern art that decorates the space.

Did you choose these pieces with a particular style or feel in mind?

I did source some of the pieces myself, while

others are loans, in which case there was less flexibility to choose. My aim was not to convey one particular style concept, but rather to create a beautiful ambiance using pictures that I personally like.

Given the importance of art in your life, what are your favorite places in Berlin for art?

My personal favorite is the room of Caspar David Friedrich paintings on the top level of the Alte Nationalgalerie (Bodestr. 1, www.smb. museum).

Which neighborhood do you live in, and what makes you feel at home there?

I live on the Kreuzberg side of Friedrichstraße. I like the anonymity of the area, and how it feels like it is not quite a neighborhood at all.

Richard is also located in Kreuzberg, a neighborhood that has not traditionally

been known as a gourmet destination, though this has changed quite a bit in recent years. Are there any restaurants in the neighborhood that you particularly like?

My favorite place to go eat is Lode & Stijn (Lausitzer Str. 25, www.lode-stijn. de). This place gets my wholehearted recommendation.

Imagine it’s a beautiful day and you’re free to spend it however you choose. What would your perfect Berlin day look like?

I would spend a wonderful day at Gleisdreieck Park with my young daughter.

We’d pack up our things, get an ice cream along the way, and spend the whole day playing and relaxing in the park. My phone would stay at home, of course.
