Many many places do. Berlin is a winter city - and the heaters keep people warm while the plastic cuts the wind. I love sitting outside drinking beer and eating schnitzel outside the train station at Hackescher Markt in the fall and winter. Lost os sidewalk cafes around all protected from the wind and chock full of people enjoying themselves.

I drove by tonight and the patio tarp looks a lot better than what my initial view said. Certainly looks much better than Famoso's patio tarp.

Took out a Dallas Pizza on Sat. night.. have to say, was very very good. I'd say on par with Rosebowl

Ambiance is reminiscent of Collesium S & P, family run.. place very, very busy.

+16 and yet all patios closed up for the year and having called 5-6 places, no one willing to put a few chairs out...

Instead of celebrating a last opportunity and taking advantage, we close up shop.... clap clap clap.

Beers in the back yard I had no problem pulling our patio chairs back out

There were a few people sitting out on the Hilltop patio though

My systems were reading 18.4 on the north face of the north tower just before I left work

Had lunch at the new Sherlocks University today. They opened yesterday and were packed all day and night according to the barkeep. No surprise. I had a lunch special chicken burger with salad ($15) and a pint of Canadian. Chicken burger was very good. Not cheap but that is Sherlocks.

Can someone remind me where Dallas Pizza is again....I am need of an amazing pizza. How does is compare crust wise (thin, medium, thick?)

Were both patios open? I wandered by last night, and only the west half of it was open.

^ they need a shot!


In other news....Went to Cactus Club on Jasper tonight.

Break Down:

The meatballs in tomato sauce...disgusting. They were frozen and recooked.
kinda tasted like Dog food!!!

The tortellini with shrimp was excellent. Only 3 tho!

Calamari was ok.

Service was really good.

However....when the guys in the covered hoods entered it was questionable! They were wearing full on hoods and sun glasses...wtf lol...it was the goofiest shit ever.

The manager was an old friend.....he said Cactus club has no dress code...So Dam Edmonton!!! Very disappointing!

Won't go back....Generic

Yeah I expect more. Its Low rent.

99.9% of restaurants and lounges and bars don't allow patrons who were a hood never mind sun glasses also!!!

Dam...I thought they were the Uni-bomber gang!
