Berlin: a certain style

Edit: Two of these photos were taken in Neukolln, the subject of my new Wired piece, Going Tribal in Berlin's "Neubeca".

Very nice café photo! (Although I fear that your article in Wired will just help accelerate the gentrification, or yuppification of Neubeca.)

Neubeca seems to be part of a list of (fantastic) areas that are not yet yuppified, yet are not poor areas anymore. The "overlapping" you mention in the Wired paper is the best they have.

Add to the list of areas that have many things in common with Neubeca: parts of Condesa in Mexico City, parts of the XXe in Paris, the poorer parts of Gràcia in Barcelona, La Macarena in Bogotá, parts around Paulina and the Ukrainian Village in Chicago, etc. Some of the pictures you mention could (mutatis mutandis) be in those other neighborhoods!
