Feb 26-Mar 03: Photography Exhibition, Late-Night Concert, Stadtbad Exhibition, and more!
Things to do in Berlin - Week of February 26, 2024!
I'm often asked how much time it takes to write the newsletter every week. Despite Berlin being the mecca of events, finding suitable ones for the newsletter is a time-consuming process. I aim for a balance—events that aren't too mainstream but have broad appeal, are reasonably priced, still have available tickets when the newsletter is sent out, and are in English. I try to include a variety of event types like live music, exhibitions, food, etc.
I understand that you may not always find an event of interest, but I appreciate your continued support! Perhaps in the next edition, you'll discover something appealing to attend with friends or other subscribers.
Here's a sneak peek of what’s in store for you this week:
📷 Miles Aldridge - Photography Exhibition
🎸 The Beatles Concert - On The Big Screen
🎼 Late Night Concert - Classical Music
🏊 Stadtbad RELOADED - Digital Art Exhibition
🎵 SANCTUM OF SOUND - Live Music

Restaurant Review:
Kongfu Chili - Chinese Restaurant (⭐4/5)
The restaurant mainly serves hand-pulled noodles with various toppings. Their spicy noodle with beef is quite good. Some might say Wen Cheng is better, which I agree with, but if you're looking for something a bit different, this place might be your jam.
As a fellow newsletter author, hugely appreciate the effort and time it takes to create each of these and find these very useful! It will always not be to everyone's taste all the time but I hope others are finding it also useful, if not only for the events themselves but also to use it as a baseline to learn and explore more (and also use the Telegram group to communicate). So, thanks for doing this and please keep it up!
