WELCOME TO BERLIN
For The Love Of Art The fall is always an exciting month for culture lovers: With the start of the new concert season and a plethora of major exhibitions, it's time to get out our calendars and mark the most important cultural dates.
PORTRAIT BY THOMAS HEDRICH/FOTOSTUDIO-CHARLOTTENBURG; SKYLINE © TOTALPICS/ISTOCK/THINKSTOCK
This year, Berlin's museums have so many exhibitions in store, it's just going to be hard to pick. Fans of neoclassical art should not miss Canova and the Dance at the Bode Museum, which opens on 21 Oct with many of the sculptor's drawings and statues. From 13 Oct, the Sammlung Scharf-Gerstenberg will be presenting surrealist art, while from 19 Nov, the Museum Berggruen across the street will be comparing the works of great masters such as Picasso, Cézanne, and Matisse with those of American modernist painter George Condo. You will have to wait until 11 Nov to delve into the hallucinogenic world of Flemish painter Hieronymus Bosch at the Gemäldegalerie, but meanwhile you can gaze at marvelous photography at C/O Berlin and at the Museum of Photography (p. 42), or learn about German history at the Martin-GropiusBau, where the exhibition The British View: Germany – Memories of a Nation, opening on 8 Oct, presents 200 British Museum artefacts that outline 600 years of German history.

More than five decades after recording his first smash hit (that would be The Sound of Silence, 1964), Paul Simon, folk rock legend and 12-time Grammy winner, is still going strong. Simon left behind his Simon & Garfunkel duo in 1970, and went on to build a successful and prolific solo career. At his concert at Tempodrom this month, he’ll be playing his latest, 13th album, Stranger To Stranger, which is both experimental and critically acclaimed. www.tempodrom.de
Schöneberg Pumpkin Festival

Saturday & Sunday
Every fall, the humble pumpkin is the star of the season. This month, the 17th annual Schöneberg Pumpkin Festival once again puts the cheerful orange squash at center stage. Besides an array of pumpkin delicacies both savory (pumpkin soup, lasagna, quiche), sweet (pumpkin cake, jam, chutney), and even alcoholic (pumpkin wine, anyone?), there will be live music and pumpkin carving stands for the kids. More than 10,000 pumpkins will be trucked in for the occasion. www.ms-event-agentur.com

F
rench actor Maurice Chevalier once said, “Dietrich is something that never existed before and may never exist again. That’s a woman.” The legacy Marlene Dietrich left on cinema – and Germany as a whole – cannot be underestimated. She was a luminary in the fledgling world of film, an iconoclast when it was least acceptable to be one, and an unwavering symbol of self-assuredness and individualism. Today, Dietrich remains one of Berlin’s most famous and beloved natives, and a visit to at least one of her former haunts is practically compulsory. A logical place to start is in the Schöneberg district at Leberstraße 65, where the future starlet was born two days after Christmas in 1901. The otherwise nondescript building bears both a plaque and a mural dedicated to the cinematic legend. In her obituary, The New York Times called her “the quintessential cabaret entertainer of Weimar-era Germany,” which is fitting given that her entertainment career began in cabaret-studded Berlin. While the Eldorado nightclub, famed for its decadence and anything-goes atmosphere, has long since shuttered, the doors of Charlottenburg’s Komödie Theater (Kurfürstendamm 206/209) are still open, and the venue still produces revues similar to the ones Dietrich starred in on its stage. Just a short stroll away is the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church (p. 37), where Dietrich exchanged vows with husband Rudolf Sieber. Although the two remained married until Sieber’s death in 1976, Dietrich was well known for her numerous romances, including affairs with Hollywood’s leading men – and, befitting her iconoclast nature, women. John Wayne, Claudette Colbert, Frank Sinatra, and – some say – John F. Kennedy are just a few of the names rumored to have been her romantic conquests. Dietrich’s breakthrough role came with The Blue Angel, in which she played cabaret star and femme fatale Lola Lola. Much of the film was shot at nearby Potsdam’s Babelsberg Studio (p. 40), today Europe’s largest movie studio and home to the Marlene-Dietrich-Halle soundstage. The adjacent Filmpark Babelsberg offers fans a

behind-the-scenes glimpse into the world of cinema, with vintage sets, rides, and shows laden with special effects. In 1930, on the day The Blue Angel premiered, its star left Berlin to seek out her fame in Hollywood. Dietrich wouldn’t return to her hometown until 1945. The actress was staunchly anti-Nazi, refusing Hitler’s offer to return to Germany to continue her film career. Her wartime work earned her the Medal of Freedom, the U.S.’s highest award for a civilian. Upon Dietrich’s death in 1992, the city of Berlin paid $5 million to secure her estate of roughly 300,000 pieces, the largest such acquisition in history. Much of this memorabilia can be viewed at the Deutsche Kinemathek - Museum for Film and TV (Potsdamer Str. 2. www.deutschekinemathek.de), a trove of German cinema, located, aptly enough, a stone’s throw from Marlene-Dietrich-Platz. Dietrich was nearly as important a fashion icon as she was a film star, and her predilection for pantsuits and other masculine-inspired attire can
be viewed at the museum’s permanent exhibition dedicated to her, along with letters, personal items, and even the screen test for The Blue Angel, which was long believed lost but was rediscovered shortly before her death. Dietrich may have spent most of her life outside of her native country, but she reserved a place for it in her heart, recording numerous songs about Berlin, including Ich Hab’ Noch Einen Koffer in Berlin (I Still Have a Suitcase in Berlin), Das War in Schöneberg (That Was in Schöneberg), and an album featuring her interpretations of popular 20th-century Berliner tunes, which she considered her best musical work. Although she died in Paris, where she spent the last decade of her life in seclusion, Dietrich chose her hometown as her final resting place (p. 36), much to the delight of Berliners. But if further evidence is needed for the icon’s devotion to the German capital, one need only read the German title of her autobiography: Thank God I’m a Berliner.

Where now | INDUSTRIAL SPACES
Berlin’s post-INdustrial
revolution From old barges to swimming pools, water pumps to performance spaces, and power plants to clubs, Berlin’s abandoned industrial buildings are buzzing with life once more. Solveig Steinhardt went on a tour of the city’s most interesting repurposed factories and warehouses.
W
hen the Berlin Wall came down 27 years ago, Berliners woke up to a city filled with many abandoned factories and buildings just waiting to find a new purpose. This abundance of large, low-cost, empty spaces is what made Berlin the unique city it still is today: It encouraged creative minds from all over the world to move here and open studios, showrooms, and performance halls, and it gave the city an informal, youthful face. While the first conversions happened in the early 1990s, when some private citizens turned factories into techno clubs and alternative cultural centers, transformations later became more organized and regulated, and today most of the onceempty warehouses have been renovated by architects to be turned into shops, restaurants, working spaces, and even homes with lots of urban history and character. Culture Bricks In the early 1900s, many industrial buildings in Berlin were designed in the so-called brick-Gothic style, consisting of exposed brick facades, large windows, and geometric

ornamentation including tiles, bas reliefs, and artistic logos. A good example of this style is the Radialsystem V (Holzmarktstr. 33), a water-pumping station from 1885 now turned into a performance space for contemporary arts. The building was modernized in 1999 and expanded with a glass structure and a large terrace overlooking the Spree River. Another building from that era is Kreuzberg’s former transformer station on Paul-Lincke-Ufer, which now houses the aptly named restaurant Volt (PaulLincke-Ufer 28), an established spot for sophisticated, contemporary German cuisine. The high ceilings and large windows are counterbalanced by low-hanging copper lamps and warm wooden tables, which add a cozy feel to the space. Not far from Volt is Arena (Eichenstr. 4), a brick and steel bus depot from the 1920s, now used for events and festivals, but mostly known for housing the popular Badeschiff, a floating swimming pool made from an old barge. For a combination of factory style and interior design, visit restaurant Eins44 (Elbestr. 28/29) in Neukölln, created in a former distillery from the late 1800s. The tiled

walls are a perfect background for the largesized photographs of what the distillery looked like right before renovations, and the factory lamps and wooden tables add that extra raw touch to the contemporary German dishes on the menu. An even more impressive conversion is the Kulturbrauerei. This large brewery complex in Prenzlauer Berg was built in the 1870s and kept producing beer until 1967. Repurposed in 1999, it now hosts a cinema, pubs, and clubs, and is the epicenter of the neighborhood’s nightlife. COLD WAR RELICS
XXXXXXXXX
One of the first reconverted factory spaces of the post-1989 era to achieve world fame was Berghain (Am Wriezener Bahnhof ). Said to be Europe’s most popular club, Berghain is housed inside a DDR-era power plant built in the 1950s in the socialist neoclassical style. Sold to the club owners in 2011 by the Vattenfall electricity company, the enormous building boasts an 18-m-high dance floor and space for 1500 partiers. The space is divided into a main room and a smaller space upstairs, the Panorama Bar. Another power station from that era, the Kraftwerk (Köpenicker Str. 70) is now used for events. On the other side of the Spree, on Köpenicker Straße, the elegant and minimalist pan-Asian restaurant Spindler & Klatt (Köpenicker Str. 16) is housed inside a former industrial bakery. With a large terrace right on the Spree, this posh eatery feels more like a cruise ship than a factory.

fittings from Berlin’s factories are in high demand. A good place for factory lamps is the Bergmannstraße flea market (Sat 9am– 4pm), which has a stand selling recovered industrial lighting. Or pay a visit to J&V Fine Industrial Vintage in Schöneberg (www. jandv.eu), where owners Jools and Vince restore items from old industrial complexes and warehouses. Their best-selling items are factory lamps and train station clocks, but you’ll also find metal furniture, old office chairs, neon letters, and other eyecatching objects. Another good source of industrial design items is Urban Industrial (Holzmarktstraße 19-23 /Arch of S-Bahn 4142), housed in the ex-industrial complex of Holzmarkt in Friedrichshain. The store stocks items such as porcelain clocks, metal office chairs, antique school benches, vintage gym equipment, drawer cabinets, factory warning signs, industrial relics from the GDR and the Soviet Union, and a plethora of Siemens lamps used in factories around town.

WHERE NOW | CAFÉ LIFE
T
Not just good coffee, but a special atmosphere too: Hilda Hoy picked out her must-visit cafés all around the city.
he café is more than just a place for getting a cup of coffee. In previous generations, cafés and coffeehouses were where the literati gathered, where authors penned masterpieces, where art movements were birthed and political revolutions were plotted. These days, you’re far more likely to see the characters at a local café hunched over a laptop or paging through the latest lifestyle magazine. But both then and now, cafés are part of a city’s social and cultural fabric, a great place to people watch, while away a few hours, and, of course, get that all-important caffeine fix.
OLD IS GOLD Berlin never quite had the grand, opulent coffeehouse culture that, say, Vienna or Budapest did in the early 20th century, and what establishments the German capital did have were wiped out in WWII. Still, if it’s a more traditional, historical café experience you seek, a few special spots should be on your itinerary. Foremost is Café Einstein Stammhaus (Kurfürstenstr. 58, www.cafeeinstein.com), an elegant coffeehouse in a Neo-Renaissance, 19th-century villa in Schöneberg. With gilded walls, soaring ceilings, and marble tabletops, the look is modeled after the classy coffeehouses of turn-of-the-century Vienna. Head there for a milky Wiener Melange coffee with warm Apfelstrudel on the side, a deluxe breakfast, or a classic German-Austrian meal. There’s another lovely Café Einstein right on Unter den Linden in Mitte (Unter den Linden 42, www.einstein-udl.com), though don’t make the mistake of assuming it’s affiliated with the Café Einstein Stammhaus. (Nor do either of them have anything to do

WHERE NOW | CAFÉ LIFE
Coffee Profilers
with the Einstein Kaffee franchises you might spot around town.) Though it’s just 20 years old, the Mitte Café Einstein feels much older, thanks to its classic atmosphere. Wooden booths, Art Deco lamps, black-and-white celebrity portraits lining the walls, and waiters clad in dapper uniforms give this place a 1930s feel. With cakes, strudel, a menu of Austrian dishes (try the schnitzel), and decadent, alcohol-spiked and whippedcream-topped coffee creations, this is a great spot to relax after some sightseeing around Brandenburg Gate. Out west on famous Kurfürstendamm boulevard, Grosz (Kurfürstendamm 193–194, www.grosz-berlin. de), coffeehouse by day and restaurant-slash-bar by night, lives up to its elegant environs with a stunningly opulent interior that is posh to the max. There’s a Frenchinspired selection of pastries to go with your coffee, but if you’re truly feeling decadent, get the hot chocolate: scoops of rich cocoa cream that you mix to your taste into hot milk, served with Meissen porcelain. MODERN & TRENDY On the other end of Berlin’s café spectrum
Café Einstein
are the new, hip establishments that have popped up in recent years as part of the so-called “third-wave” coffee movement. Proponents seek to elevate the beverage to new, discriminating heights, focusing on the highest-quality beans, single-origin roasts (as opposed to blends), and brewing methods (such as pour-over and vacuum brewing) that go beyond the well-trodden espresso method. One of the original third-wave coffee shops in Berlin is The Barn, which started out in 2010 as a snug café on Mitte’s Koppenplatz (Auguststr. 58, www.thebarn. de) and has since branched out to open a second, spacious location which also doubles as their roastery (Schönhauser Allee 8). In recent years, as Berlin’s café offerings have multiplied exponentially, The Barn has hung onto its reputation as one of the places with the most stringent coffee standards in town. Whether it’s a filter coffee, a flat white, or a plain old espresso that’s your go-to drink, The Barn is a stop no coffee aficionado should miss. Friedrichshain has two coffee locales to delight caffeine addicts, including Coffee Profilers (Karl-Marx-Allee 136, www.
westberlin
coffeeprofilers.com), right on grand, historic Karl-Marx-Allee. Several varieties of espresso are available, but the highlight is the brew bar, where your barista will painstakingly make your filter coffee of choice, with a smooth, flavorful brew guaranteed. After all, one of the owners was the World Brewers Cup champion in 2014. A short walk away is Aussie-run Silo Coffee (Gabriel-Max-Str. 4, www.silo-coffee.com), which serves up velvety smooth cappuccinos and flat whites in beautiful lipstick-red cups. For an extrapotent caffeine kick, try their cold-brewed coffee. An extra bonus is the delicious brunch menu, including treats like oven-baked skillet pancakes topped with bacon, making Silo one of the most popular weekend spots in the ‘hood. To recharge and refuel after some downtown sightseeing, westberlin (Friedrichstr. 215, www.westberlin-bar-shop. de), just steps away from Checkpoint Charlie, is the place to go. Besides great coffee, the cool, modern atmosphere and selection of great reading material make this a place to linger for hours. The owner is an architect, who’s lent his keen eye for style to both the sleek décor and the well-curated selection of magazines and design books for purchase. Insider’s tip: don’t pass up a slice of their famous cheesecake.

SHOPPING | THE GUIDE
This image: The Sony Center. Inset below: the Apple Store.
What Men Want Forget pipes and shaving sets: These days, the gadgets guys are into need to at least have a digital screen and lots of memory. Here are the top shops carrying the latest technology and accessories. Recalling an art gallery more than a store, the Apple Store (www.apple.com, Kurfürstendamm 26) is conveniently located in West Berlin’s shopping hub. Rows of tables display the latest products from Apple for everyone to try out, with specialists on hand to answer questions. The staff will even help you set up your newly purchased device just the way you want it. Your tech-loving travel partner will be happy to hang here while you peruse the premium fashion houses along this luxury strip. Sony too has a flagship store in Berlin, the Sony Style Store (www.sony.de), situated of course in the Sony Center on Potsdamer Platz. In addition to three floors of innovative
entertainment electronics and expert advice, customers can get a sneak preview of the next generation of Sony products. The PlayStation area and the 3D-world in particular are fun places to spend some time while the less-interested family members take a twirl through the nearby Mall of Berlin. Loyal Microsoft customers should pay a visit to The Digital Eatery (www.digitaleatery.de, Unter den Linden 17) near Brandenburg Gate. You can't buy Microsoft products here, but you can try out the latest tablets, Oculus Rift virtual reality glasses, and Xbox game stations while regenerating with a fresh seasonal salad and vegetable juice.
For men’s accessories, you can’t go past the Porsche Design Store (www.porsche-design. com, Kurfürstendamm 48), established by German-born Ferdinand Alexander Porsche, the designer of the legendary Porsche 911 sports car. This luxury brand focuses on functional, timeless, and purist designs in watches, luggage, and other accessories. Those who can't let go of tradition should pay a visit to Montblanc (www.montblanc. com, Friedrichstr. 21) Germany's manufacturer of premium handcrafted writing tools. Alongside luxury ballpoint pens, pencils, and fountain pens, they also stock elegant screenwriting pens for tablets and smartphones.

In A Bottle Ever since 1904, when Albert Krigler launched his line of artisanal perfumes, the Krigler brand has been synonymous with unique luxury fragrances made with the finest ingredients sourced around the world. In 1905, Krigler’s original shop on Unter den Linden witnessed the flourishing of Berlin’s legendary music and cabaret scene, and in 1909 his scents went abroad when he opened new boutiques in the south of France, where he became the perfumer of F. Scott Fitzgerald, Hemingway, and Picasso. Over the years, his fragrances have been appreciated by celebrities such as John F. Kennedy, Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly, and Coco Chanel. After more than a century, Ben Krigler, Albert's fifth-generation descendant, has brought the Krigler legacy back to Berlin with a perfume boutique right on Unter den Linden, where it all began.

SIGHTSEEING | THE GUIDE
Graves Of The Famous Berlin may not have a cemetery as famous as Paris’s Père Lachaise, whose numerous notable inhabitants make it the most-visited non-secular graveyard in the world, but the German capital can lay claim as the final resting place of many a household name. Perhaps the most famous permanent resident is Marlene Dietrich (p. 10), whose burial site can be found at Städtischer Friedhof III in Friedenau (Am Bürgerpark 24). The Berlin-born actress is now neighbor to famed fashion photographer Helmut Newton, who had professed a love for Dietrich since he was a schoolboy. The infatuation greatly influenced his photography, which can be viewed at the Charlottenburg foundation named for him (p. 48). Although well known in his German homeland, Horst Buchholz is known to cinephiles worldwide as the star of Billy Wilder’s One, Two, Three (shot in Berlin) and The Magnificent Seven, as well as the more recent Life Is Beautiful. His memorial at the Friedhof Heerstraße (Trakehnerallee 1), a tranquil space
surrounding Sausuhlensee lake, features a photo of the chiseled actor from his glory days. The dark and woodsy enclave of Friedhof Grunewald-Forst (Havelchaussee 92B), located in Berlin’s far west, would have made an apt setting for an Andy Warhol film, which makes it fitting that his protégée Nico lies here. The singer and actress, often hailed as one of the world’s first supermodels, had deep roots in Berlin, having worked at the KaDeWe department store before getting her first big break and launching to stardom.
For a more classical bent, the Alter St.Matthäus-Kirchhof (Großgörschenstr. 26) in Schöneberg is home to the Brothers Grimm. All four brothers – not just Wilhelm and Jakob, who published their first collection of folk tales in 1812 – lie at rest here, with monuments far less ostentatious than some of the lesser-known cemetery inhabitants. A stroll through the lush grounds of Charlottenburg Palace (p. 37) leads to a mausoleum holding the remains of several Hohenzollers, including Emperor William I, Frederick William III of Prussia and wife Duchess Louise of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, whose love for one another is renowned. A veritable trove of artistic greats rests at Mitte’s Dorotheenstädtischer and Friedrichswerder Friedhof (Chausseestr. 126). Pay homage to philosopher Georg Hegel, poet/ playwright Bertolt Brecht, and architect Karl Schinkel, the genius behind some of Berlin’s most famous buildings, including the Altes Museum on Museum Island.

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

Camera Exposure Since the opening of the Museum of Photography in 2004, whose initial permanent collection was immediately endowed with Helmut Newton's entire oeuvre, Berlin has become a photography hub of European importance. Today, photography galleries such as C/O Berlin, Camera Work, and Carpentier Galerie dot the museum's surroundings, hosting exhibitions all year long and turning Charlottenburg into the city's epicenter for photographic art, while other important spaces such as Lumas, Galerie fĂźr Moderne Fotografie, and Photo Edition Berlin display and sell portraits and compositions in the gallery district of Mitte. This month, the Berlin Foto Biennale (www. berlinfotobiennale.com) celebrates the city's status of photography capital from 6 to 30 October, with works by 446 artists from 41 countries adorning the walls of Palazzo Italia on Unter den Linden. Focusing on pressing topics such as the refugee crisis, the Biennale will be presented by special guest Steve
McCurry, best known for his 1984 "Afghan girl," National Geographic cover image. The photo is on display at the Biennale along with another 130 of his photojournalistic shots. Another highlight are Yusuke Suzuki's
two series Aleppo, Syria, City of Chaos and Refugee Crisis, Lesbos, Greece, shedding light on war and migration in the Mediterranean. Back in Charlottenburg, C/O Berlin will be presenting I am you. Selected Works by Gordon Parks. The US photographer profiled America's deeply divided society between 1942 and 1978, dealing with everything from poverty and segregation in the AfricanAmerican community to the rich and glitzy world of fashion and cinema. The 150 images on show portray important historic moments and civil rights activists such as Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr., but also music and film stars like Duke Ellington, Ingrid Bergman, and more. C/O Berlin also has a great bookshop selling photography books and cards. But if you want to bring home a photo souvenir of your Berlin trip, visit Lumas Berlin (Fasanenstr. 73, www.lumas.de) and pick from exclusive photo art and limited editions in various formats.

Medical Mysteries For anyone with an interest in what makes our bodies tick, the Museum of Medical History is a must-see. Part of Berlin’s renowned Charité Hospital, the museum uses objects, pictures, and creepy medical devices to trace 300 years of medical history. But the museum’s most sensational draw is its collection of 750 anatomical preparations collected by 19th-century Dr. Rudolf Virchow, known as “the father of modern pathology.” Rows of shelves hold jars of diseased organs, cancerous tumours and shocking malformations, all of which are hair-raising, sobering, and fascinating in equal measure. Due to the intense subject matter, under-16s must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. Charitéplatz 1. T: 030.450536156. www.bmm-charite.de

The Bridge Of Expression At the turn of the 20th century, when Berlin was on the cusp of becoming a modern and booming metropolis, many painters were inspired to immortalize this transitory moment on canvas. One of them was Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, a spearheader of Die Brücke and Expressionism. With his coarse brushstrokes, he captured the capital’s dynamism in hieroglyphic-like expressions, leaving room for the viewer to bridge the gap between reality, the past, and change. Hieroglyphics at Hamburger Bahnhof (p. 48) presents 18 of his works complemented by contemporary artists Rosa Barba and Rudolf Stingel’s film and large-scale painting pieces, with the interaction of past and present artistry fostering new discussion on change.

Dada Beyond Europe Exactly 100 years ago, the Dada movement was born in Switzerland as a protest against the outbreak of WWI, which Dadaists considered a bourgeois war, and came to Berlin soon after. This year marks the centenary of this innovative and defining 20th-century movement, and the Berlinische Galerie (this page), in conjunction with the Museum Rietberg in Zurich, is celebrating this milestone by presenting Dada Africa, a new exhibition that invites dialogue between European Dadaist works and non-European artistic creations pitted together in juxtaposition. The exhibition incorporates artefacts from Africa, Asia, and Oceania and engages viewers to question the different understandings between traditional art and cultures in the vein of Dadaist criticism and non-European traditions.

The style-conscious interior at Bar Raval
Tapas Happy

For a taste of Spain right here in the German capital, follow Hilda Hoy’s picks for the city’s top tapas. I have yet to meet a Mediterranean cuisine I did not like, but it has to be said – there’s something especially commendable about the way the Spaniards do food. Not only have they got an enviable mastery of cheese, wine, and charcuterie, but in my opinion, tapasstyle eating – ordering a variety of small plates to share amongst a table – is one of the nicest ways to eat out. Thankfully, there are plenty of places in Berlin to sate all Spanish cravings. One of the better-known tapas spots is Kreuzberg’s Bar Raval (Lübbener Str. 1, www. barraval.de), thanks in part to its celebrity owner, Spanish-German actor Daniel Brühl (Good Bye Lenin!, Inglourious Basterds, The Bourne Ultimatum). Star owner aside, however, the place stands out on its own merits, both in terms of the menu and the ambience. As one would expect with an A-list celebrity founder, the look at Bar Raval is cool and styleconscious. All the must-have classics are on the menu, like patatas bravas, tortilla, and garlicky gambas, though there are some
modern, fusion touches as well. Make sure to try the lusciously tender tataki of Iberico pork and the eggplant tempura drizzled with honey, a specialty from Córdoba. On the first Monday of every month, they cook up a special paella feast. Every tapas fan should also put Volver (Luisenstr. 41, www.volver-tapas.berlin) on their dining agenda. This beloved, cozy spot in the
heart of Mitte is the place to go for classic Andalusian tapas made according to old family recipes, and the dedication to top-quality ingredients is evident in every bite. My must-haves are the grilled calamari, meatballs in white wine sauce, and fried mini peppers, with a glass (okay, two) of Tempranillo red wine. Make sure to save room for a crema catalana – Spain’s answer to the crème brûlée – for dessert. Oftentimes in Spain, tapas are served as little nibbles accompanying a round of drinks at the bar. Gastón (Weichselstr. 18, www.gastontapasbar.com) is a tapas hotspot right in the center of Neukölln’s busiest bar district whose Spanish owners have imported a taste of the dining-meets-nightlife culture from their home country. Given the festive location and atmosphere, this isn’t the place to go for a quiet, sedate dinner, but rather to enjoy a lively night out with flowing food and drink. Do as the Spanish do and embrace the vivacious atmosphere. Olé! www.wheretraveler.com 49

ENTERTAINMENT | THE GUIDE
Taking to the Stage Every night of the week, Berlin offers a smorgasbord of events. Two new shows that premiered in late September have just made the offering even better. If you’re looking for a piece of Las Vegas right here in the German capital, go no further than the world’s biggest stage at the Friedrichstadt-Palast (Friedrichstr. 107, www.palast.berlin). In 97 years of storied history, the venue has become famous for its huge, revue-style theatrical productions. The Palast's latest show, THE ONE Grand Show, was created with the help of haute couture legend Jean-Paul Gaultier, who provided the costumes, while Emmy Award-winner Peter Morse designed the spectacular lighting effects. With the aim of representing this buzzing metropolis's cultural diversity and colorful lifestyles, THE ONE provides a collage of spectacular sketches recounting a young man’s journey through the splendor of past times, in search of someone to love ("the one.") In pure Friedrichstadt-Palast style, all performances are
supplemented with high-tech special effects, courtesy of the 100+ artists that the show brought on board. For something a bit more intimate, the historic ballroom of the Chamäleon Theater (Rosenthaler Str. 40/41, www. chamaeleonberlin.com) recently debuted the
award-winning Cirkus Cirkör and their show UNDERART – Ode to a Crash Landing. This Swedish circus troupe was founded by Tilde Björfors, one of the few professors of contemporary circus. Their latest piece tells a story about getting up again after being knocked down, and about the strength required to overcome life’s adversities. The idea came from director Olle Strandberg’s personal experience: After an accident while attempting a triple somersault left him paralyzed from the neck down, he ultimately made a full recovery thanks to his admirable determination. With an ensemble of five artists and two musicians, the show is full of absurd acrobatic feats, dry Scandinavian humor, and live music compositions. Come early to explore the rest of the sprawling courtyard complex of Hackesche Höfe, designed in Art Nouveau style and brimming with interesting little shops. Both venues also have pre-show dining options, and performances will continue well into 2017.

Frontman Robert Smith and company return for their first European tour since 2008, playing a combination of fan favorites, deep cuts, and new recordings that span a 37-year career. Modern acts as diverse as My Chemical Romance and The Shins have cited The Cure as a major influence, a testament to the black-clad rockers' musical legacy. And while the band is often mocked as being overly morose (mostly by those unfamiliar with their work), hits such as Just Like Heaven and Friday I'm In Love can still spur a crowd to get out of their seats and dance – or at least crack a smile. 18 October.

NIGHTLIFE | THE GUIDE
Fragrances Bar - Ritz Carlton
Costume Party It should go without saying that the party capital of Europe has a myriad of good bars. But night owls looking for more unique places to have a drink should check out these themed spots for an experience they won't forget. You don't have to wait until 31 October to dress up – at Last Cathedral (www.lastcathedral.com, Schönhauser Allee 5) it's Halloween all year long. This horror-themed rock bar in trendy Prenzlauer Berg recalls a dark tomb from the outside and a haunted house on the inside. Skeletons, neon bats, and coffins adorn every corner, and with a mix of Gothic rock and metal and waiters dressed all in black, their regular events are a feast for horror fans. Despite all the doom and gloom, the atmosphere is light and friendly. "Party 'til you drop" is the motto at hospitalthemed Sanatorium23 (www.sanatorium23. de, Frankfurter Allee 23). Lounge on hospitalbed-style couches as you sip your drink and
enjoy the DJs at the turntables, closing the transparent curtains for a little privacy. The cocktail menu is inspired by the periodic table: for example, “Li”, or lithium, will order you a Long Island Iced Tea. At Madame Claude (www. madameclaude.de, Lübbener Str. 19) in Kreuzberg you will see the world upside down even before you’ve started drinking. Located in a former brothel, this bar hosts live music and DJs and has a completely furnished living room attached to the ceiling. The main activity here is dancing, with a bit of ping pong and table football on the side. Inspired by the Brothers Grimm fountain across the road in Volkspark Friedrichshain, Fairytale (www.fairytale.bar, Am Friedrichshain 24) is an enchanting little bar full of references to Alice in Wonderland and other fables. The bar
staff are in full costume and the drinks menu is a pop-up children’s book with dreamy concoctions inside. Follow your nose to Fragrances (www. ritzcarlton.com, Potsdamer Platz 3) at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel at Potsdamer Platz. This is the first bar in the world dedicated to combining the art of cocktails with the world of perfume. Scents from Giorgio Armani, Yves Saint Laurent, and Guerlain form the inspiration for the unique drinks and artistic presentation of each. Groups should definitely go for the perfume cocktail tasting package. And you guessed it, the Barbie Bar (www. barbiebar.de, Mehringdamm 77) in Kreuzberg displays the famous, skinny Barbie doll everywhere. Go there for cake and cookies in the afternoon and cocktails and the occasional drag show in the evening.

It's not all about good drinks and music. The best bars have a unique twist, says Annabelle Mallia.

WHERE NOW | MARIANNA EVENSTEIN
My Berlin
MARIANNA EVENSTEIN For anyone keeping up with the news coming out of Germany, Marianna Evenstein will be a familiar face. A longtime news presenter for the Deutsche Welle TV network, she is also a multitalented event host, moderator, and voiceover actor. Born and raised in New York, Evenstein has lived in Germany for 17 years and settled in Berlin in 2008. www.marianna-evenstein.com How would you compare Berlin to the city where you grew up, New York? New York is inspiring and intense. But it’s also incredibly loud, crowded, and chaotic. I love going back to New York to visit, but I always return to Berlin with a renewed appreciation for what a wonderfully livable city this is. There is also an amazing and creative energy here, and it’s so wonderfully green. What part of the city do you call home? I live in a neighborhood that straddles the districts of Wedding and Mitte, near where the Wall stood. I love it as it’s a bit removed from the tourist areas, but close to the trendier parts of Prenzlauer Berg and Mitte. A favorite spot in your neighborhood? One of my favorite places for incredible coffee and Italian sandwiches and cakes is La Caffètteria (Brunnenstr. 153). The owner is a trained pastry chef and he makes all the cakes, cantuccini and delicious pastries himself. Order the apple-walnut cake – it’s an old family recipe from Angelo’s grandmother! If Berlin were a person, what do you think their voice would sound like? I suppose Berlin – which a former mayor once
described as “poor but sexy” – would have a voice to fit that description. Female for sure, a bit scratchy and husky from too many cigarettes and coffee, but raw and real. When you have friends come to visit, where do you take them? A few key landmarks are a must, like the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church. I am always moved by the sight of the bombed-out church that was left as a memorial to peace. Other sights I find particularly worthwhile are the Berlin Wall Memorial on Bernauer Straße, the East Side Gallery, and the Soviet War Memorial in Treptow. I love taking visitors around Hackescher Markt for fun shopping, and then along the Spree River to Museum Island. I often take visitors on a walk up Weinbergsweg, stopping at Café Galão (Weinbergsweg 8), a Portuguese espresso bar with awesome pastel de nata. The street turns into Kastanienallee, lined with cafés, boutiques, and quirky shops. For dinner, a fun place is I Due Forni (Schönhauser Allee 12),
my favorite “punk” pizzeria with spotty service but fantastic food. And for jazz lovers, a great place is the B-flat club (Dircksenstr. 40). If you had an entire day off, how would you spend your perfect day? I would start with a quick breakfast in my neighborhood at La Caffètteria, then head to Center of Dance (Schönhauser Allee 36) for a ballet class. Afterwards, I would treat myself to a Thai massage at Lotus (Zionskirchstr. 34). Then I’d head to the other side of the city for lunch at NENI, a fabulous restaurant on the top floor of the 25hours Hotel with breathtaking panoramic views. I’d pop into Berlin’s Museum of Photography (Jebensstr. 2), then stroll to Savignyplatz and pick a café to unwind with a good book. For dinner I’d meet friends at Good Friends (Kantstr. 30), one of Berlin’s oldest and most authentic Chinese restaurants. After dark I’d head to Lido (Cuvrystr. 7) to catch some live music. On the way back to my part of town, I’d stop for a late-night drink at Scotch & Sofa (Kollwitzstr. 18), an eclectic, retro, and very charming bar. Clockwise from top left: The East Side Gallery; Marianna Evenstein; Museum Island; coffee and cantuccini; pastel de nata; sabich at Neni; the Berlin Wall memorial on Bernauer Straße.
