chromestore_03-bly

Forget about schicki micki Mitte – if you want to find that startling statement piece that shouts ‘you’, head to Neukölln (and more precisely to the Chrome Store) When I went to visit Chrome Store, I imagined it would be like any other vintage shop from Berlin: a mix of hipsterish items, bohemian hats, garish … Read more Chrome Store Brings Berlin Designers to Neukölln

BERLIN LOVES YOU English Traders Featured Image

It’s the day of the Big British Decision: to remain under the oppressive Brussels-Berlin yoke or to sail off in their new, refurbished Noah’s Ark to start a New World (permitting only those creatures who fulfill an ‘Australian-style points-based entry evaluation’ to clamber aboard, of course). But with the very-real prospect of a Brexit looming, … Read more We Ask: Will ‘Brexit’ Damage Berlin’s English Traders?

Neukölln’s Fellfisch Café & Schmuck has the finer things in life

BERLINLOVESYOU_FellfischCafe_1

During mid-afternoon on a sunny day, warm light streams through the glass windows of Emser Straße’s Fellfisch Café. Purple and aching-yellow flowers decorate each wooden table, and a Bob Dylan-Laura Marling-folk soundtrack breathes from the corner speaker. The occasional antique chair; the rodent-bone collection, tapped in a frame against the eggshell blue wall; the cookies … Read more Neukölln’s Fellfisch Café & Schmuck has the finer things in life

You can easily identify the place by the dots on the walls… dots that I thought were put there because of the café’s name. “Actually, we kept this old graffiti while we were renovating the whole space, that’s why we called it Dots. But, unfortunately, the building administrator wants … Read more Connecting Dots in Neukölln

I must admit that before I went to Bohazel I had no idea what kind of shop I was going to see. First, because their website is still under construction, second because their FB page shows quite a few things… but I was still inconclusive about what the shop is really about. I was greeted … Read more A Little Surprise Next to Tempelhofer Feld: Bohazel

I must say that the first year I was here in Berlin I had a hard time finding books in the languages I know how to read. At the time my German was non-existent, Portuguese books are a rarity here and English ones are still a minority on the shelves of most bookstores. I know … Read more What topic you are looking for?
