About this tour
This session moves through the Turkish and Arab food streets of Neukölln and Kreuzberg, from the stalls of the Maybachufer market to a family-run grill on Kottbusser Damm, a Lebanese bakery on Sonnenallee and a Turkish patisserie further along. The camera stays close to the counters and the people working behind them. The guide grew up on these streets and explains what makes each shop worth stopping at.
The call opens with a short sound check, then follows the route from stall to shop, pausing at each one and leaving space for questions about what is on screen. A short list of the shops and their addresses arrives by message once the call ends.
This suits anyone curious about Berlin's Turkish and Arab communities and the food culture they have built, whether planning a trip or simply hungry for a look at somewhere else. It also works well before or after a meal of your own.
Included
- Live video session with a local guide
- A close look at the dishes and where locals buy them

Not included
