Just know that Harvey's is in West Berlin, so quite a bit of travel, and the store is weird. Sorry, Siegfried is indeed lovely, but the shop is straight out of 1980. Impossible to browse, as a lot of stuff is in the back, and/or packaged in plastic bags. So, if you are prepared to buy something particular and have plenty of time to spare, then go. If not, I would skip it and do something else with your time.Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months - Oscar Wilde

It's like 2 blocks from an U7 stop and not far from the edge of Tiergarten. It's only "quite a bit of travel" if you view anything west of the west edge of Friedrichshain far away. (Plus, it's actually pretty pleasant over there on a nice day; there are (or were in 2007...) some nice bookstores, record stores, and jewelry stores on and around Knesebeckstraße.) I'd've expected the bigger strike against it to be that it's on the notoriously commercial Ku'damm. (In fact you could easily walk from there to KaDeWe to ogle the eaux de vie.)

Not necessarily so here in Japan. Even though there are certain retailers who may offer tax free for foreigners, I have to say that is not the case otherwise.

Excellent thread! Thanks for all the suggestions. Too bad Sammlung Boros is booked up for more than a month, as the trip is quite spontaneous.
Anyone know if there is anything worthwhile going on this weekend? concerts, temporary galleries, etc?
Thanks!

BTW I went to both Darklands and Harvey's this weekend and I have to say, the enthusiasm and friendliness at Harvey's was way preferable, imo, to the Sprockets-esque self-seriousness at Darklands. More than made up for the slight (and honestly comparable to Darklands) inconvenience of getting there and the unbrowsability (mostly because I only had to express interest in a designer for almost everything in my size to be given to me to try on).

I quite liked the area around Velodrom in Friedrichshain-Nord (almost Prenzlauer Berg); I have friends there and they enjoy it. Rents are affordable, too.
You can also try to hunt a nice apartment in the old west. Why not Charlottenburg? You’ll commute a lot around the city anyway, its completely normal, so location is (in my opinion) not the most important thing in berlin.

Berlin is in general very affordable compared to other big cities, even within Germany. Are you looking for a WG? If yes, WG gesucht is indeed your best option. Transportation access won't be an issue at all unless you live in the outskirts of the city.lavender menace
