Kiez
The Reuter”Kiez” (Kiez=neighborhood), Reuterplatz, Kreuzkölln is in close proximity to the districts of Kreuzberg, Neukölln and Treptow. The Neukölln nightlife has almost outstripped famous „Kreuzberger Nächte“. New galleries, bars and restaurants are opening almost every week. Nearby parks as like the „Görli“ (Görlitzer Park) or Volkspark Hasenheide and popular events as the Turkish market and Flowmarket offer both, a vibrant neighborhood and a relaxed, chilled place for recovery. The principal attraction of this area is definitely it´s dynamic, contrasting and cross-cultural atmosphere that perfectly preserves the illusion of witnessing the rotation of earth as a reflection of its colorful Kiez-Life.

Museum der Dinge
„With its extensive assemblage of everyday items and objects, the Museum of Things ostensibly traces German design history from the early 20th century to today but actually feels more like a cross between a cabinet of curiosities and a flea market. Alongside detergent boxes and cigarette cases are plenty of bizarre items, like a spherical washing machine, inflation money from 1923 and a swastika-adorned mug.“ – lonely planet

„Every Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Kreuzberg’s Markthalle IX becomes a wonderland for Berlin foodsters. A young crowd wanders from stand to stand, sampling everything from Spreewald pickles to barbecued goat ribs. The grand 19th century market hall is Berlins new shrine to all things local, organic and artisanal.“ – Exberliner

Cocolo Ramen XBerg
„Ramen soup is the Currywurst of Japan. It varies from locality to locality, although the main components stay the same: it’s a noodle soup based on a meat-broth with a variety of toppings, usually pork meat. That rules out most vegetarians to go through the whole menu, but I promise the Miso — the vegetarian option — is just as delicious. “ – findingberlin.com

„Black walls and tables, dim lighting, but well lit plates – this is how the Kreuzberg scene restaurant presents itself in this exceptional, modern ambience. Combine this with the boldness to stand out from the usual Chinese restaurant as regards taste, by the use of new aroma compositions for traditional dishes, and this flair has made it into one of the scene restaurants in the city. “ – visitiberlin
