                                               anticipation is more important than the

                                               These are the days when my creativity
                                               is at its highest, and one thing I really
                                               like to do is hide away to plan my future
adventures. My favorite hiding spots for this purpose are museum cafés, like
the one inside the Jewish Museum. Good cookies, delicious New York bagels,
and perfect cappuccino. But the very best thing is that it's housed in the
museum's greenhouse-like Wintergarten, which gives it the perfect outdoors-
while-indoors feel – exactly what one needs when it's cold outside. But I've
also recently discovered the Landgasthaus café inside the Domäne Dahlem
farm/museum. Its modern, minimalist decor and the inventive menu made
with home-grown ingredients create an interesting contrast with the century-
old barn the cafe resides in, as well as with the ancient farm outside.

But I also find big, open views of the city really inspiring and relaxing, even
more so if combined with a delicious meal. This month, Hilda Hoy rounded
up the best restaurants with a view, from the revolving restaurant inside the
TV Tower to a bar with views over the zoo. Turn to p. 18 to learn more.

Enjoy!
