    If you can read any amount of German, avoid the tourist-traps as listed in the Exberliner and find more interesting sides to the city by using "Zitty" or "tip".

    Looking at Klamotte's other listings, I can't help but conclude that perhaps he or she has a vested commercial interest: The ExBerliner, Room with a Loo (credo: "give us your money, we'll sublet your flat to somebody and take their money too") and - I might be wrong on this last one - are all run by one and the same company (Iomauna Media).

    The ExBerliner is a curious hybrid of advertorial and pink times: the monthly guide to different Berlin districts tends to highlight bars, clubs and restaurants that most right-minded people would normally avoid. Moreover, the editorial team has an avowedly gay and lesbian worldview - fine in and of itself, but makes for a rather limited read if you have little or no interest in gay adoption or lesbian motherhood. Final nail in the coffin? Extremely mitte-centric to the point of Nathan Barley-ism.

    Only continues to "flourish" because there is no alternative.
