The Turkish Market in Kreuzberg in Berlin is great fun. If you're self catering, its definitely worth doing grocery shopping here as you will get some bargains. There's not much apart from groceries that's worth buying here but the atmosphere is incredible and towards midday, there are usually some musicians or street performers performing down by the canal.

This is the most spectacular collection of Museums on a single site anywhere in Europe. If you don't have time to see them all, make sure you hit the Pergamon Museum which is the site where the majority of the Pergamon Temple from Turkey has ended up as well as one of the Gates of Babylon! The Scale of the theft is quite incredible, but to give it credit, it is a beautifully kept and curated museum and its highly unlikely that it's treasures would look nearly so good had they not been relocated here.

This is the oldest continuously operating bar in New York, dating back to the mid 19th century. In fact, it feels much like the mid 19th century inside with a lot of wooden panelling and sawdust covered floors. Given that Abe Lincoln and John Lennon are only two of the many famous figures who have drunk in this pub, it's unsurprising that the walls are absolutely crammed with memorabilia. Ale is all that's served here, pale or dark and there's only one size of glass... but that's all part of the experience I suppose.

This place is much more recommended by its great atmosphere and bustle than by the food itself. True, the sandwiches are absolutely enormous. I took at least two thirds of my steak sandwich home in a doggie bag as there was no way of possibly finishing it.

This is probably the most famous sandwich shop in the world and has attracted people in flocks for decades now to try the pastrami and pickle sandwich that it's so famous for. There are other things on the menu besides sandwiches and I had a really tasty soup. for film geeks, this is the cafe where Meg Ryan and Billy Cristal ate in 'When Harry Met Sally'
