Recently, us at Berlin Loves You have posed a rather experimental, almost personality-type question: “What is your favorite corner of Berlin?” And the answers have been as varied and interesting as the people behind them. Swedish artist Sandra finds time for reflection river-side at Freischwimmer, whilst author, playwright, and musician Robert Farrar speaks of dive … Read more Jackie Charles’ Corners of Berlin: Funeral Parlor Teddy Bears and Rooftop Forestry

The Bird Barbecue Brings Authentic American Smoke to Berlin

The Bird Barbecue Berlin Loves You 3

Everybody loves a good rub, and the guys down at The Bird Barbecue are no different. The Texas-inspired eatery on Oderburger Strasse shares the same name as its burger-slinging cousin up the road, but patties are the last thing you’ll find here. Sporting a menu espousing the Texan holy trinity (beef brisket, pulled pork and … Read more The Bird Barbecue Brings Authentic American Smoke to Berlin

Allan’s Breakfast Club & Wine Bar is a Mouthful

Allan’s Breakfast Club_Berlin Loves You

Allan’s Breakfast Club & Wine Bar doesn’t draw the crowd you’d expect. “On Sundays, we have the families and kids for breakfast, the younger adults for brunch, and the kids who come straight from Berghain in the afternoon for Bloody Marys.” Allan, the proprietor and chief of Allan’s Breakfast Club & Wine Bar, tells me … Read more Allan’s Breakfast Club & Wine Bar is a Mouthful

Lexodus Brings Storytelling Back to Hip-Hop

IMG_0189

I first saw Lexodus at Marie Antonette. Back then the entire act consisted of Alex Linton spitting bars and pouring whiskey into the mouths of any eager revellers brave enough to come close to the stage. Today, the concept of Lexodus has changed entirely. No longer a solo project, it’s now full band with skilled … Read more Lexodus Brings Storytelling Back to Hip-Hop

England Fan Swallows Entire U1 After Big Win

collage-berlinlovesyou

After England’s marginal, yet stunning defeat of Tunisia in last night’s sizzling World Cup match, Berlin expatriate Harry McCrooketrill gulped his last 2.50-pinterino and hustled for the U1, screaming a ravenous, gut-bursting scream of joy and patriotism. Unfortunately, his mouth wide and kebab-ready, he stumbled forward just as the mighty yellow streak of U1 bolted … Read more England Fan Swallows Entire U1 After Big Win

Melt Your Worries And Your Hunger Pains At Paradiso

Taco13

I didn’t expect Paradiso at all. When invitations were extended I thought we’d be visiting just another restaurant, the kind with space for 100 and scores of stressed-out waiters. Instead, we’re brought to the tiny shop front of a building on Oppelner Strasse, a barebones room that at first glance is easy to miss. This … Read more Melt Your Worries And Your Hunger Pains At Paradiso

Can’s Damo Suzuki is on his way to Berlin Damo Suzuki has already secured his place in musical history. His contributions as singer to German kraut-rock band Can gelled perfectly with the band’s repetitive rhythms on classics such as Tago Mago and Ege Bamyasi. Can’s ‘kraut-rock’ came to define German music to the wider world and … Read more “I’m creating time and space within the moment” – an interview with Damo Suzuki

Nakhane’s “You Will Not Die” Lends Fashion To Trauma

Nakhane 26 crop

As a multidisciplinary artist, it’s hard to peg Nakhane to one artform. We met Nakhane for the first time last year when he and director John Trengrove brought their film The Wound, which Nakhane starred in and which was short-listed for an Oscar nomination, to Berlinale. Since then Nakhane has taken a break from acting … Read more Nakhane’s “You Will Not Die” Lends Fashion To Trauma
