A specialty is temporary 'Guerrilla' fashion boutiques that spring up in the trendiest shopping areas, sell über-cool threads for a few months, and then disappear without a trace.

The fashionable Mitte district has a number of classy options, and the huge windows at Newton Bar (Charlottenstrasse 57) offer the opportunity to see as well as be seen. When you get tired of people watching, move on to the dressy, stylish Greenwich (Gipsstrasse 5). Ultra cool, with walls of illuminated fish tanks, this bar caters to a chic but laid back clientele.</description><pubDate>Thu, 08 Jan 2009 12:07:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Berlin: Where to stay</title><link>http://edition.cnn.com/2008/TRAVEL/07/01/Berlin.sleep/index.html#cnnSTCText</link><guid>http://edition.cnn.com/2008/TRAVEL/07/01/Berlin.sleep/index.html#cnnSTCText</guid><description>When it comes to accommodation, Berlin is still the cheapest of the major European capital cities.</description><pubDate>Thu, 08 Jan 2009 12:05:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Berlin: City overview</title><link>http://edition.cnn.com/2008/TRAVEL/07/02/Berlin.overview/index.html#cnnSTCText</link><guid>http://edition.cnn.com/2008/TRAVEL/07/02/Berlin.overview/index.html#cnnSTCText</guid><description>Berlin is a city that thrives on contrasts: east and west, old and new, efficient and eccentric.</description><pubDate>Thu, 08 Jan 2009 12:05:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>DJ van Dyk bridges the divide in Berlin</title><link>http://edition.cnn.com/2008/TRAVEL/06/25/vandyk.intvw/index.html#cnnSTCText</link><guid>http://edition.cnn.com/2008/TRAVEL/06/25/vandyk.intvw/index.html#cnnSTCText</guid><description>One of the biggest-name dance DJs in the world, Paul van Dyk is in demand at clubs and festivals from Las Vegas to Ibiza.</description><pubDate>Thu, 08 Jan 2009 12:04:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>10,000 BC: The premiere</title><link>http://edition.cnn.com/2008/SHOWBIZ/03/03/emmerich.premiere/index.html#cnnSTCText</link><guid>http://edition.cnn.com/2008/SHOWBIZ/03/03/emmerich.premiere/index.html#cnnSTCText</guid><description>Apparently in Hollywood, the hair's the hardest.

It drew basically no response at all from American sports fans, of course, since the bout wasn't actually televised in the U.S. Even had it been, though, it's hard to imagine that the rematch between the 35-year-old Valuev, whose 7-foot height is barely enough to compensate for his rudimentary skills, and the 36-year-old Ruiz, who though adept, always seems to do just enough to underwhelm the judges, would have generated much interest on the first weekend of the college football season. Or on any other weekend, for that matter.</description><pubDate>Sun, 31 Aug 2008 16:36:00 EDT</pubDate></item><item><title>Olympic memories</title><link>http://edition.cnn.com/2008/SPORT/07/08/oly.memories/index.html#cnnSTCText</link><guid>http://edition.cnn.com/2008/SPORT/07/08/oly.memories/index.html#cnnSTCText</guid><description>Moments have defined the Olympic Games as much as individual accomplishments.

The past still looms large over Germany's capital- a scarred and sumptuous landscape that continues to awe and inspire - but as a city reunited, reborn and rejuvenated, the streets are once again abuzz with a creative energy and style that is uniquely Berlin. Even before the jubilant collapse of the wall in 1989, West Berlin's isolation in the heart of communist East Germany was a draw for international artists who tapped into the city's pre-war reputation as a haven for decadence and cultural innovation. Superstars David Bowie and Lou Reed were soon followed by Australian Bad Seed Nick Cave, rubbing shoulders with homegrown cinematic talent Wim Wenders.
