Check out 'Das Neue Schwarz' in Mulackstr. 38.
It is a Vintage Designer shop.

Choosing a neighbourhood also depends on what you’re up to do there, obviously. If I were you, I’d try to get a BNB or hotel in Kreuzkölln, Kreuzberg, Friedrichshain-Nord or Mitte areas. Everybody’s different (and I hear people complaining already about my choices!), but I believe these areas are quite enjoyable, and all perfectly connected to the public transport.

Anyone who complains about Mitte should be dropped into New York's soho for the weekend. After being bulldozed by fat Midwestern tourists in their best Teva sandals chewing on cupcakes and gangs of teenagers from New Jersey hopping from H&M to forever21 (cause they can't get THOSE in their local mall) Mitte will seem like a quaint village.Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months - Oscar Wilde

There's many great to superb restaurants, good shops, bars and all kinds of quirky places in Mitte but everyone for his own I guess.

My partner and I are relocating to Berlin in the next couple months, so just wondering if anyone can suggest or knows of the following:
- decent barber shop
- artist studio space (either monthly rental for a solo studio, or a shared space set up for screen printing with hourly rental)
- any used or consignment clothing stores worth checking out
- decent stereo shop

Do you mean a traditional barber shop? There are a ton of turkish barber shops all over the city. I'll ask my male friends which one they would recommend.
As for rental space: The most well known studios/spaces for rent are K18, Atelier 79, Fabriken. There are dozens more. If you speak German looking through the ''ebay Kleinanzeigen'' is always worth a try.
Right now Das neue Schwarz is the only designer second hand store here that's worth it. But there are countless non-designer thrift stores around. It's almost as if one opens every week somewhere.
And for steroshops: HiFi im Hinterhof, Schalldruck, PhonoPhono.
If you have any more questions feel free to contact me.Last edited by Verdandi; 07-23-2015, 12:57 PM.lavender menace

I’ll be in Berlin this August and have a more specific question to the residents: if you’d do a 2-day trip to the baltic sea shore, where would you go?
I checked out the Deutsche Bahn Warnemünde-Express (on weekends) and the BLB Bus to Usedom so far, but really don’t want crowded beaches (which I assume both destinations would be)
Any secret tips?

this'll probably pique someone's interest on here.

I've been to the 032c gallery opening events twice and both times they were shit shows of hipsters who are there for free beer. The displays are a joke, as if they take pride in not trying. And that's with all due respect to 032c as a magazine.Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months - Oscar Wilde
