Certain areas of the city allow access to parts of the old spaceship, and this is one of them. If you’re lucky, there may even be a password for entry, and your biometric data will be checked through their database. Go on a Thursday night for the bar with live performance and musical warp drives. Bootlab alternative media space offers a diverse series of film, music and a community radio platform. Radio Tesla is at Podewil Palais on a Wednesday night, with various music, art projects and a salon during the week.
Fun frolic in Friedrichshain
Sunday is perfect for lounging in the Intimes Cinema or Bulgarian Café across the road (both have free wi-fi) and then take a wander through the Boxhagener Platz flea market. True bargain-hunters will schlep all the way out to Treptower Park, but there are still fabulous finds to be made here. Retire for a drink afterwards to any number of cozy hip bars, Goldfisch (Grünberger Str. 67) and Stereo 33 are my favorites, and the two euro pizza next to the latter is fabulous, or 100Wasser for hearty serves and dark wood ambience. Schraub und Dreh has a great selection of cool analogue musical instruments, and is on Rigaer Str. where some of the last of Berlin’s squat culture is hanging on. Pick up a copy of the ex-berliner for the latest tips and listings in English.
