The cobblestone streets and densely packed quarter of cafés, shops, and boutiques make the area between Frankfurter Allee and Warschauer Strasse an ideal shopping stretch. Both Boxhagener Platz and Simon-Dach Strasse are home to fashionable shops, and the neighborhood holds shopping nights on select Saturdays.
With large glass windows looking out onto Warschauer Strasse and a minimalist interior, Shakespeare & Sons is the perfect place to get lost in another world. The shop sells a variety of English and French books from every genre, though there's a specific slant toward new books covering political topics. Inside, you'll find the Fine Bagels café.
