Staying at the Eurostars Hotel is a pleasure and this is my third time. I did not do too much yesterday or today. I did go to the Gemalde Gallerie and spend just over 2 hours there. I have been to the Standige Vertretung 2 times, the Gemalde Gallerie outdoor bar, and the garten outside the Reichstag. All great places to stop for a beer.
On Monday night as I said, I ate at Block House. Last night I went to my favorite - Dolcini. I must have written about this place before? Years ago, I was walking down Friedrich Strasse and saw an a-frame sign that said "Big Mo's" with an arrow. Of course, I went. It was a restaurant that I went back to that night. I have been going every time I am in Berlin since. Last night, I was the only customer at first and of course I went inside and sat under that great picture of "la Baker". When the man took my order he said to me," You know that i recognize you" and I said yes that I had been coming for many years. It was very nice. I had the fish soup and a special paste - penne with corizio sausage. I drank some water and 2 montopulchianos and he gave me a grappa. So nice to be remembered.
I went to Weihstephan for 2 dunkles biere and 2 obstler. Then back to the Standige Vertreterung for 2 more Kolsch. A nice evening at familiar places.
Tonight I at at the Grand Bar on Orenianberg Strasse. I ate there last summer for the first time. It was good. I had a big salad and the pork medalions in green pepper sauce with rosemary potatos and rice and broccoli. I drank 2 hefeweisse beers and a glass of gray brugundian wine. I gave 40e. Well worth it. So I have to say my stay in Berlin so far has been uneventful and familiar and at this point I will take that.
