The Ampelmann Berlin store offers a unique and charming experience centered around the iconic East German pedestrian traffic light figure. The store is filled with quirky and colorful merchandise, i liked the quality of their tshirts. With its well-organized layout and friendly staff, shopping here is a true pleasure. The blend of history and modern design gives the store a distinct Berlin flair that attracts both tourists and locals. Plus, there’s a cozy coffee shop inside where you can take a break and enjoy a seat outside. Overall, the Ampelmann Berlin store is a must-visit for anyone looking to bring home a piece of Berlin’s cultural heritage.
Estuary

While staying at the Conrad Hotel, we had our morning breakfasts at Estuary which is a Michelin star restaurant located at the 3rd floor.

Estuary provided a delightful breakfast experience in a setting that exuded elegance and tranquility. The morning ambiance awakened a sense of refreshment, setting a positive tone for the day. It is very spacious and open setting.

The attentive service, marked by tender care, included staff explaining the breakfast offerings and accommodating individual preferences. The seamless match with personal requirements resulted in a thoroughly enjoyable breakfast.

Black tea served with french press, it tasted much better than tea bags.

I tried their omelette with spinach, onions and white cheddar. It was a delight! Fluffy and perfectly cooked, the blend of ingredients created a harmonious burst of flavors. The chef's expertise was evident, making it a delightful culinary experience. It comes with toasted white bread, butter and strawberry jelly. Also i chose fruit bowl, everything was very fresh.

With such a positive experience, Conrad proved to be not just a great hotel but also had an great restaurant, leaving a desire to return soon for another delightful visit.
Court Square Diner
2023 Jul 19
When we were in New York, the cuisines I missed the most were Chinese food and diners. I remember the times when I would have pancakes and hot coffee at a 24-hour diner at 3 in the morning.

On my way back from Europe, I decided to stay one night in NY, have a meal, stroll around, and reminisce about the old days. During breakfast, I discovered Court Square Diner, which is very close to the hotel. Their fantastic vegetable omelet, pancakes, the cleanliness and tidiness inside took me back 15 years to my college days. The service was both fast and the staff were attentive. The organization and cleanliness inside really pleased me. Definitely sit down here and experience that breakfast. You'll feel like a king. The only downside is that if you don't live in NY, I should warn you in advance that you won't find this taste at your local IHOP or Waffle House. Either don't try it, then you won't crave this flavor, but if you do, you'll never enjoy those chain breakfasts again.
Harrods

Harrods is the largest store I have ever seen, where you can spend your entire day and find all luxury products.

I don't recommend going with your spouse because they have all the season's handbags in stock. The perfume section probably has every perfume ever produced in the world. I had the chance to try and purchased perfumes I've never heard of or smelled before, and their prices weren't exaggerated.

The home decor section was another floor that caught my attention. Don't even look at the prices; the Fendi armchair I liked was $25,000 for a single seat. I decided to sell my car and buy a sofa instead :)

Another thing that surprised me was the presence of a fish, vegetable, and grocery section. They have a wide variety of exotic fruits and vegetables. They offer all kinds of fresh fish and mussels. One can't help but wonder if this fish is Hermes or if those bananas are Gucci.

They have every brand you can think of, so it's a good idea to call your bank and let them know your credit card will be loaded. Even American Express got excited.
The hotel is relatively new. The rooms are good and clean. Walk distance to the center of Havana. Good food and service.
Amazing rooftop pool and bar. Amazing staff always ready to help. I highly recommend staying here.
