Good tip, thanks. I got a piece of it in 1990, come to think of it. Hacked it out myself, assisted by the guy who was supposed to guard it. Nice fellow.
The new, upgraded Mrs Mugabe has let me know that Wacken is not an option. If we like Berlin, we'll probably take more tours of Germany under civilized circumstances, though.
BTW, what are the specialties of the Berlin cuisine? Sülze? Berliner Weisse?
Tell Mrs Mugabe V2.0 that it really isn't all that horrible and metal. Don't show her photos, though. Instead, show us photos of her so that we can approve.
Berliner Weisse is complete and utter tourist crap, which only idiots drink. I usually make a point of having as much as possible so that the waiters hate me (Easy, Berlin is famous for its unfriendly waiters). Take the Waldmeister variant, not the girly strawberry stuff.
If you want something without alcohol, the local lemonade is called Fassbrause. I love it, but usually people don't.
Famous Berlin food - hmm, like many cities they claim they invented the Currywurst. It's usually quite good. What else? Gepökeltes Eisbein maybe, Falscher Hase or Bollenfleisch. I don't think they really have got their own cuisine.

Can cost you some hours.
