The sky over Berlin is dark and grey. It's freezing, your hands are numb and the faces of the people in the street are far from happy. There are, however, a couple of places in the city of Berlin, where the weary Berliner can recharge his batteries with cosy warmth. Cafés and restaurants with a fireplace are just the place to be in winter.
