On Friday, I found myself back in Berlin, specifically to catch up with a dear old friend from my university days back in Lithuania. It was fantastic to reconnect! We met up with some of her friends and decided to embark on a culinary adventure: a very, very big schnitzel for dinner. The restaurant, located on Südenstraße, served up a schnitzel that was roughly around 1 kg of meat – truly massive! I was told if I manage to eat it all – I get it for free.
I managed to conquer about three-quarters of it before needing a serious break, especially since I ran out of beer. By the time the bartender returned with a fresh drink, my stomach had officially staged a protest and couldn’t fit another bite. Needless to say, I felt quite full (and maybe a little sick) afterwards, but it was a memorable meal!

After that epic dinner, we headed to one of Berlin’s rooftop bars – Klunkerkranich. This place was particularly interesting because it had sand everywhere on the floor, creating a beach-like atmosphere high above the city. There was an impressive selection of cocktails to choose from too, making it a great spot to relax and enjoy the evening. The bar itself was cleverly located on the top floor of a parking garage – a really ingenious use of urban space, I must say!
Pity that during this visit I didn’t have a chance to visit East Side Gallery again.
