If all I had was an internet connection, nary a clue about Berlin, some notions about what 'original cool' even means and two hours to make deadline, I would probably write something like that, too. But I don't work for the NYT. From now on, I won't read NYT Travel anymore. It's just wrong. One more thing: I love how the same people who call the East "overhyped" are the ones that heaped the hype to begin with -- and then get to take it back when it gets cliche. Wankers.

Yawwwwwn. I do so love being treated like shit by waiters who let me know as they plonk down the menus that I've been seated in the section where the nobodies are seated. Florian, on the other hand, at least has good food. Yeah, right, the Paris Bar. Yawwwwwn.
