Hiring a cab at a cab stand
There are numerous cab stands all over town. To get a cab, go to the cab at the head of the line. Tell the driver your destination. If it is very far, he can decline, but it usually never happens. You will be expected to give a tip ranging between DM 1 and 5. Most cabbies are talkative and a good source for tourist information, so don´t hesitate to ask them questions.

90 Grad Update
I received an update about the popular 90 Grad club from reliable sources: Recently a bouncer turned away Britney Spears from the already crowded club! The outrage! The scandal! - The bouncer was fired, but half of Berlin laughed themselves silly. - So what does this teach us? It teaches us to seek out an alternative in the neighborhood in case we cannot get in. After all, if even ole Britney cannot enter, who can :-) ?
