City of Spätis

03/02/19 • 10 min

In this minisode, we take a break from bureaucracy and talk about that other thing Berlin has in abundance; Spätis. Is there a correlation between the abundance of bureaucracy in Berlin and the Späti culture? You be the judge. This is an outtake from the interview we released last week with Javi– in it, he shares more than his opinion on the best Spätis around, he also imparts the origin story behind everyone's favorite Berlin Mexican Restaurant. We'll be posting the Späti map on social media but if you can also find it on our website at, https://berlinpodcast.com/donate Please let us know what you thought of the episode by joining our community group on Facebook & Twitter @BerlinPodcast! https://www.facebook.com/BerlinPodcast https://twitter.com/BerlinPodcast Transcript of this episode will be on our website shortly: berlinpodcast.com You can find the music of our talented DJ-in-residence, Antti Simola, on his SoundCloud: @antti-simola
