The first thing to mention about Berlin and Germany as a whole is that people here LOVE ice cream.  Which means I fit in perfectly.

If you are trying to eat dinner at 5pm, stay home and cook because many of the restaurants have their ice cream menus out still.  Oh and don't try to get ice cream after dinner.  Especially if you ate late like people here.  Most ice cream places are closed by then.  But don't worry, just eat it first.  It means you won't have to worry about being too full after dinner.

It seems between 2-7 is snack time: coffee and cake or ice cream.  And if it's a sunny day out, the streets are full of people eating ice cream.  And the ice cream is so good.  Maybe not Italy-good, but hey, I haven't been there yet.  I just hope this ice cream eating doesn't change after summer!

This is ein Karamell Becher with Schokolade und Karamell eis (ice cream).  I ate it in the park with my book surrounded my tons of people doing the same.  Ah Berlin, I knew I liked you.

  1. When I was in Munich I had Spaghetti-Eis. It made me think of the old presses you could squoosh play-doh out of. As Pete Rijks said, the spaghetti shape makes it taste 30% better!
