On Auguststraße in Berlin-Mitte, behind tinted windows, lies a corner restaurant with a deli counter, handmade pasta, and mozzarella tasting from Basilicata.

In the fourth courtyard of the Hackesche Hoefe, Eat Berlin sells the salad dressings and sauces of its own make, which began as a recipe experiment in a room of five square metres.

TUKADU on Rosenthaler Straße offers jewelry between 20 and 350 Euros, making it a place where both a small token and a larger gift can be found. Vouchers start at ten Euros and go up to 250 Euros. Shipping within Germany is available, but the store currently does not ship to other EU countries.

Located on Brunnenstrasse in Berlin-Mitte, just a few steps from Rosenthaler Platz, THE WASH BAR offers pre-batched cocktails of the highest standard.

Since 2007, Pro qm has been located in a Poelzig building on Almstadtstraße, just a few steps from the Volksbühne.
