Food
Great food doesn't have to cost a fortune, even in Berlin. A favorite place among Humboldt University students is Depoine no.3. Depoine no.3 can be reached by taking the U-Bahn or the S-Bahn and alighting at Georgenstrasse. The interior of the restaurant is some what mismatched trying to create a pub atmosphere while being loaded down with eclectic antiques. However, this place is an excellent source for German food. Most meals cost less that 10 euros and the portion sizes are huge.

Just down the road from Depoine no.3 is another excellent eatery choice called Cum Laude. Appropriately named for the number of university students and staff that frequent it, Cum Laude emits a tasteful old collegiate atmosphere. Although technically and Mediterranean restaurant the best choices tend to be those from the area. Piked perch in creamy cucumber sauce seems to be a local favorite. 10 euros is said to keep one full for hours but several dishes on the menu cost under 7.

Entertainment
By traveling to Auguststasse in former East Berlin, you'll stumble across a plethora of art galleries that are open to the public and free. This street is known in English as Berlin's artist mile featuring everything from classic to post modern. Photographer, Peter Dittmar owns a gallery along this stretch and with luck you may even catch a glimpse of him between travels. The Artist's mile is also an excellent place to learn about Berlin's underground art scene. Many of the galleries will be full of fliers advertising upcoming events in this area.
