The Cô Cô bánh mì deli serves great vietnamese sandwiches and the best lemon grass tea I've ever had.

Little Vietnam in Berlin - crazy crowded market halls stuffed with commodities from overseas.

It's an indoor market, which makes it a great option in winter if you are looking for anything from kitsch to classy. I like it because you find lots of old objects that transport you to the past.

Art bookstore for the more off-the-grid publications.

I often go exploring into random and dilapidated areas of Berlin. I like the thrill of finding new nooks and crannies with strange visual sites. A few months ago, an old housing colony was abandoned, and many objects (such as couches and front doors) were left at the edge of the city to rot or to be scavenged. This is a view from a non-descript area of the S-bahn train tracks (between Sonnennallee station and Treptower Park station) into the most Southern part of Neukölln district.
