This piece appears as part of “BERLIN, BERLIN” — a weekend-long virtual celebration of the city. Head here to see the full series.
Without the usual oasis of packed clubs, smokey bars, or cozy restaurants to escape to, winter 2020/2021 is reaching a whole new level of bleakness in Berlin.
For locals, we can't even enjoy the tourist-free streets — normally a major upside of the colder months — since nearly everywhere worth going to has been closed for lockdown.
But, we don't have to spend our whole winter just counting down the days until restrictions are lifted. We can use this time to redefine our relationship to Berlin; to take stock in the sudden stillness and explore new corners of the city, to support local business, and to connect digitally with the creative scene.
