May 22-28: Carnival of Cultures, Outdoor Cinema, Startup Pitch, and More!
Things to do in Berlin, week of May 22, 2023!
What's the charm of Berlin? Is it the wild nightlife? The abundance of Döner shops? Or maybe it's the Spargel fever?! For me, what draws me to Berlin is its people. People who have style, and not just in the way they look, but in how they go about things. I'd like to express my appreciation and gratitude to those who have great style and inspire both me and others every day. As Bukowski said, "Style is the answer to everything. A fresh way to approach a dull or dangerous thing".
What's your style? How do you approach life?
As always, I’ve dedicated several hours to curate the finest upcoming events in the city for you.
