1. CTM Festival 2024
The CTM Festival for adventurous music and art is an annual celebration that embraces experimental, contemporary, and electronic music, set in special places within Berlin's lively nightlife. The 2024 festival is themed "Sustain," exploring the contrasts between determination and fear, permanence and loss, survival, and pain through music and sound. With a focus on artists from unconventional electronic and experimental music scenes, this is a festival you don’t want to miss. Festival program.
2. Gezellig Sessions: Living Room Concerts
Gezellig Sessions hosts the coziest living room concerts that you wish you knew about. The sessions take place once a month right here in Berlin-Mitte, in a private apartment where selected artists perform for a small audience. If you haven't attended one yet, I highly recommend checking it out. More info.

Restaurant Review:
Restaurant Tsomi - Georgian Cuisine - Prenzlauer Berg(⭐4.5/5)
The photo you see here is not a pizza, even though it looks like one! It’s a Khachapuri, a Georgian national dish. The restaurant is excellent, offering a variety of dishes (the lamb kebab was divine!), and a good selection of Georgian wines. The only complaint is the price of the water bottle, which is €8! You can view the menu and prices here.
Awww Space Medusa - such a nice place
