14 Windscheidstrasse, +49 304 508

anything to go by, Georgian cuisine is in. Friendly staff
serve up homely, Eurasian dishes at this lively,
constantly-packed restaurant.
Mädchenitaliener
€€€€
(
12 Alte Schoenhauser Strasse,
+49 304 004 1787
) This tiny, Italian restaurant has an even
tinier kitchen, so a bit of patience is often necessary.
However, when it means getting to taste the signature
dish – fig and honey tagliatelle – it's well worth the wait.
Irish Pub
(
Europa Center, Tauentzienstraße 9-12
)
No prizes for guessing the theme in the Europa Centre’s
liveliest drinking hole (and the largest pub in Berlin).
Of course, it comes in a shade of green with all the
Guinness-fuelled trimmings.
If you’re in the mood for a swim, the neo-classical style
Stadtbad Neukölln
is one of the city’s most beautiful
public swimming pool and spa complexes. Get there early
to avoid the crowds.
