Don Sushi and Cocktail Bar<br />
www.don-restaurant.de. U-Bahn:<br />
Frankfurter Tor or Samariterstrasse.<br />
Niederbarnimstrasse 12. Tel: +49<br />
3 021 237 935. Mon-Fri 4pm-12am,<br />
Sat-Sun 5pm-12am. Price: €1-10.<br />
Situated on a busy street bursting<br />
with worldwide cuisines at every<br />
turn, Don is the place to be for<br />
deliciously fresh sushi and fantastic<br />
cocktails.<br />
Don Sushi offers a daily happy hour<br />
of up to 50% off selected dishes<br />
from 4pm till midnight. With maki’s<br />
starting from €1.50 to €4 per dish,<br />
it’s a great way of trying the large<br />
range of sushi they have on offer.<br />
You can even watch the sushi chef at<br />
work as he makes your sushi, which<br />
adds a personal touch, and you can<br />
be guaranteed that the fi sh is fresh!<br />
Although the portions are slightly on<br />
the small side the reduced price that<br />
you pay means you are getting your<br />
money’s worth, rather than being<br />
overcharged for normal prices.<br />
Sushi is usually associated with sake<br />
and green tea, so it may seem odd<br />
that Don Sushi offers a variety of<br />
cocktails alongside its sushi menu.<br />
Starting from €4 per glass, they are<br />
refreshing little treats at the end of<br />
a long day or alternatively the start<br />
of a long night of exploring the city.<br />
A handy tip: there is only one sushi<br />
chef so it is recommended to go in<br />
smaller groups to avoid a long wait,<br />
as all orders for the same table arrive<br />
together.<br />
Cafe Sibylle<br />
Karl Marx Strasse 72. U-Bahn:<br />
Weberwiese or Strausberger Platz.<br />
Mon-Sat 9am-10pm, Sun 12pm-8pm.<br />
Price: €0-5.<br />
With a unique history spanning<br />
back to the Stalin-era, Cafe Sibylle,<br />
originally Milchtrinkhalle, doubles<br />
as both a cafe, and a communist<br />
museum.<br />
The cafe offers an assortment of<br />
freshly baked cakes, ice-cream,<br />
sandwiches, as well as a great<br />
selection of cocktails, and nonalcoholic<br />
drinks. While waiting for<br />
your order, you are free to walk<br />
around, and look at their collection<br />
of Eastern Germany-era artifacts.<br />
Cafe Sibylle offers both indoor<br />
and outdoor seating. This unusual,<br />
half-furnished cafe does a great<br />
job meshing together modern art<br />
with its utilitarian past. Behind<br />
the brightly colored statues and<br />
paintings, it is still possible to see<br />
the bland colourless walls from its<br />
GDR days.<br />
With rhythmic jazz music in the<br />
background and their eclectic décor,<br />
indoors is a great place to sit and<br />
chat, or to get some work done.<br />
Outdoor seating might require a<br />
wait, but it does provide a great view<br />
of the expansive Karl-Marx Allee.<br />
This historical street, renamed after<br />
Stalin was removed from power, was<br />
where East <strong>Berlin</strong>ers used to watch<br />
the tanks roll by during the annual<br />
military parades.<br />
With some coffee, cake, and<br />
communism, this is an enjoyable way<br />
to learn about an important piece of<br />
German history.<br />
