Local delights you shouldn't miss

 

     Food + Drinks

• Döner is a very popular fast food dish originally from turkey. Best bought in Kreuzberg, Neukölln, or Schöneberg.
• Club Mate is a caffeinated beverage which was especially popular among members of the Chaos Computer Club. Best bought in small shops in Friedrichshain or Kreuzberg, although you can increasingly get it from larger stores like "Getränke Hoffmann" as it has become mainstream.
• Fritz Cola gives you the caffeine+sugar kick you're looking for. It is actually sweeter than mountain dew. Get it from the same source as your Club Mate.
