Despite my best arguments, 60% of the family refused to step outside again. It was a bit rainy, yes, and the temperature did not support any linger walks either. I canceled our planned dinner and took my FIL to the Curry 36 branch next to Bahnhof Zoo. Curry 36 is the most popular West Berlin Currywurst vendor (we’ll get to the East Berlin one in due time).
Eating the sausages outside in the cold and watching other people do the same was fun. A truly democratic food - inexpensive & delicious, enjoyed by teenagers, workers, hipsters, tourists, grandmas alike. We had one with and one without casing (the latter being preferred by most Berliners), and a Berliner Kindl to wash it down.
On the way back I picked up the food for my wife and the little one. They had their heart set on two burgers from 5 Guys, the branch just being opposite of our hotel. Little one was allowed to eat his bacon cheeseburger with extra pickles in the bed, which made his day (beside of course the visit to the zoo) …
I had a small dessert as well 🙂
