Curry 61

There’s perhaps no better introduction to Berlin than eating currywurst: sausage slathered in curried ketchup with a side of fries. If you’re hopping around Museum Island, you’re just around the corner from Curry 61, where there’ll probably be a small crowd of locals and out-of-towners huddled outside the order window for a quick lunch or snack.

Your order will be up almost as fast as you place it—squeeze in at one of the few tall tables inside the tiny shop, and admire the mural of the Berlin Wall’s famous Fraternal Kiss graffiti painting, but with the added detail of a curry-drenched sausage.
