TL;DR: Dress for a 10km hike, skip the U8, and find salvation in a bowl of tonkotsu in 10967. The strike is your best excuse to dodge the Mitte posers and actually eat something decent.
The Runway to Ramen Pipeline
So, the BVG decided to join the party. Fashion Week is here, and the U-Bahn is... not. If you're trying to get from the shows at Pressecafé to anything remotely cool in Kreuzberg, forget Uber—the Ringbahn is a mess and the M10 is basically a sauna for people in oversized blazers.
The Main Event: Menya Ultra (Kreuzberg)
Everyone’s whispering about the new spot on Graefestraße. Menya Ultra just landed and it's the only reason to walk from Kottbusser Tor. Don't let the queue of models intimidate you; the noodles have that perfect bounce, and the broth is thicker than the crowds at a Berghain Sunday set. Expect to pay around €16 for a bowl that’ll actually make you forget your feet are bleeding.
The 'No-U-Bahn' Hike: Tactical Routes
It's 15 degrees—classic Berlin 'is it spring or am I dying?' weather. If you’re stranded in Neukölln and need to get to the Mitte circus, skip the bus (it's stuck in traffic on Sonnenallee anyway).
- The Canal Sprint: Walk the Landwehrkanal from Maybachufer. It’s scenic, keeps you away from the strike-induced rage on the streets, and leads you straight to the Kottbusser Damm intersection.
- Pro Tip: This strike is the perfect excuse to tell your 'industry' friends you can't make it to that bland networking event at Friedrichstraße. Use the saved time to actually find a Späti with a working cold fridge.
Neukölln Post-Show Wind-Down
When you've had enough of the 'visionaries' in Mitte, head back to the Kiez.
- Wesersraße Vibes: Hit up Tier for a drink that costs more than your Pfand collection but actually tastes like effort.
- Cheap Thrills: If the fashion budget is blown on vintage leather, grab a 4€ Halloumi im Brot at Azzam on Sonnenallee. It’s more authentic than anything you’ll see on a runway this week.
