I'm only two days from my trip to Copenhagen and Berlin! I've been working so hard that I totally forgot to ask the internets for advice on what to do, where to go, and most importantly, what to eat.
In Copenhagen, the Danish bride-to-be has arranged all kinds of meals and outings for us, so I'm not sure how many spare meals I'll have. I'm definitely going to seek some smørrebrød, herring, and the new potatoes, which should be just coming up around now.
The last time I was in Germany was a funny trip to Leipzig with Charming Hostess maybe five years ago. I was weirded out by the fleisch mit käse breakfasts and I couldn't understand why it was so hard to find wasser ohne gas. I'm a little older now, I'm all about wasser mit gas, and you can bet the Abstain Project goes out the window in the land of Schinken and wurst.
I'd love some tips! Drop me a line at ganda {at} eatdrinkonewoman [dot] c o m or leave a comment here. I'll take lots of pics and tell my story when I get back.

Monsieur Vuong in Berlin has the yummiest asian noodles. I spent a semester abroad in Berlin during college and five years later I still dream about it. But my favorite part of the restaurant is the grapefruit slices they put in diet coke. (Or should I say cola light?!) Berlin's signature dish is the currywurst. Think: sausage smothered in ketchup and curry powder with a crusty roll on the side. My favorite place was the stand right under the Friedrichstrasse S-Bahn (a major subway station). There's a huge Turkish population in Berlin so you can get great Turkish eats too. My favorite falafel place is called Dada Falafel. It's not far from Friedrishstrasse and it's on the street (Oranienburgstrasse, I think it's called) where all the prostitutes line up at night. Also, you cannot leave Berlin without eating a Berliner, the donut-type pastry with plum jam inside. You can find those at any bakery.
