Mar 03-09: Silent Film Festival, Women's Day, Live Performance, and more!
Things to do in Berlin - Mar 03-09!
This Sunday is ♀️ International Women’s Day. Even though it falls on a Sunday this year, it’s great to see Berlin has declared it a public holiday to highlight gender equality and honor the day’s historical ties to the socialist movement, which were especially strong in East Berlin.
❤️ Happy Women’s Day to all the sisters, daughters, mothers, partners, wives, girlfriends, and everyone who identifies as a woman.

Restaurant Suggestion:
Polish Dainty (⭐4/5)
This is a very unpretentious restaurant focused on one of Poland’s most loved foods: pierogies. They offer a good range of options, served in portions of 3, 5, or 8, and you can mix and match, which makes it easy to try different fillings in one visit. There are only two meat options, but plenty of vegetarian and vegan choices. They also have a sweet pierogi section, with fillings like cottage cheese and blueberry. The staff were friendly and spoke English, which made things easy. I tried several varieties, and the meat pierogies and the Italian ones (with melted cheese and tomatoes) stood out the most. Prices are on the lower side (€14.5 for 8), and 8 pierogies is more than filling. They also offer a selection of Polish soups. I didn’t get to try them, but they looked solid. All soups are meat-based. Card payment is accepted.
