Writes about food, drink, life, bullshit, and anything else he wants to get off his mind. For Andy, Berlin is like a huge playground for adults – somewhere you can do what you want without having to turn into a real grown-up. His first Berlin Loves You experience was over a $1 kebab and a 50¢ Sterni. ac@berlinlovesyou.com

by
Hirsch and Hase Pig Head 2

Hirsch & Hase Gastro-Pub brings legitimacy to Scottish food in Berlin. “I used to work round here. There’s nothing to eat here”, our photographer Tom told me as we exited Voltastrasse U-bahn.

Weird, considering how many huge … Read more Hirsch & Hase Shows Us What’s Beneath Its Kilt
