Firolino is a small and inconspicious place in one of the many Friedrichshain streets that are home to a myriad of restaurants, bars, cafés, and take out places - some more and some less fancy.

This is a blog about Berlin, its sights, hidden corners, culinary temptations and personal experiences made in the capital. Named after a famous song it is meant to give you an impression of the highlights of this German metropolis and provide you with guidance to discover the city on your own.
So, for example does the renowned Ritz-Carlton on Potsdamer Platz put up its scenography motto “We are” on big letters on the outside walls of its building. The linden trees on the famous avenue “Unter den Linden” are illuminated in colorful tones giving the idea of an Indian summer atmosphere in Berlin. Of course, the main focus is on the illumination of Berlin’s main attractions: the Brandenburg Gate, the Gendarmenmarkt Square with its Concert House and two Domes, the TV tower changing color every 15 seconds like a disco ball, the tower of the Messe (exhibition area) and among others the Berlin Dome where Wolfgang Joop projects patterns of his new fashion collection.
While the illumination of outside facades of buildings is certainly not a new concept, one must admit that it does add a nice touch to the beginning of the “dark season”. Despite the many windy and rainy cold days inhabitants and tourists alike decide to leave their cozy homes to go for a night time stroll, ride a velo-taxi or get on board a bus or ship through Berlin’s main streets in order to indulge in this somewhat tacky but festive atmosphere. Not as must see – but definitely a nice event!
