A nice Italian restaurant. Not the cheapest, but it is very delicious. It books early, so try to ask for a reservation one day when you walk by.

Hopfenreich
31 Sorauer Str.Sightseeing
This is the largest stretch of the Berlin wall still remaining. Artists have come and painted different images all along. Feel free to bring a beer and drink it while you walk along. It has recently been restored, as in 2015 all of the artwork was too covered with graffiti to be appreciated.

Parks & Nature
This is still a nice place to walk around, though it has become the "problem child" of Germany due to drug dealers. (Don't worry, they may try to sell you pot (don't buy it) but they are otherwise generally quite friendly.) There is also a beer garden and a small restaurant where you can enjoy the sunshine, or you can bring a picnic and a blanket like most people on a sunny day.

Essentials
A small grocery store with no packaging. They started as a kickstarter - you can bring your own jars and bags (they then should be weighed before they are filled and the weight is deducted, just ask for assistance) and fill them with anything from dish soap to beans or rice or breakfast cereal.
