This week in Fotostrasse's #52weeksofburgers challenge, we visit an old friend: BBI. Berlin Burger International, aka BBI, has been Fotostrasse's favorite burger for a long time, so it was inevitable for us to visit in this crazy quest of ours.

To start a new round of meaty burger places for our #52weeksofburgers, we went to Angry Chicken, a small venue in Kreuzberg. I won't lie to you all: this place caught my eye for the striking visual identity, the chicken wings, and the Korean food. The burgers were initially just an excuse to munch around this spot, but damn they proved themselves.

The last place we visited on this particular vegan/vegetarian month of the #52weeksofburgers challenge was Attila Hildmann Vegan Snackbar. We have always passed in front of this place, and a few people told us the food was lovely, so it was quite fitting for us to try it.

Continuing our adventure with vegetarian places, this week we visit Ryong, a beautiful Asian inspired restaurant in Prenzlauer Berg. Fotostrasse never heard about Ryong before, but since we are doing the #52WeeksOfBurgers to try new things we couldn’t resist the peculiarity of this place that not only has vegetarian burgers, and not only bao bun burgers but deep fried bao bun vegetarian burgers!

On the last week of February, we went to Budapest and ate some burgers for our delightful #52weeksofburger. challenge. When we started to look for burgers there, we decided it would be nice to go to a less touristic venue, so as my research showed and as the staff from Maverick City Lodge confirmed, Pesti Burger was the perfect spot for our weekly munchies.

This week of #52weeksofburger Fotostraße went to Prenzlauer Berg to try the second burger of February; meet Burgers Burgers. We chose Burgers Burgers because we have heard very nice things about it, and it had some very nice reviews, but as you will see, it was nothing special.

Szechenyi Medicinal Baths are the biggest and most popular bathhouse in Budapest and the only one I managed to find the time to visit during the short time I was in Budapest at the end of August 2018. Located in the eastern side of Budapest, close to the Heroes’ Square and the Budapest Zoo, Szechenyi Medicinal Bath in the ultimate bathing experience in the Hungarian capital and is the largest medicinal bath in Europe.

In a future Berlin, an Amish bartender works in a bar with his girlfriend, and that is the story behind Netflix’s almost hit called Mute. Directed by Duncan Jones, Mute shows a Berlin in 2052 that looks and feels like similar to the city where the director’s father, David Bowie, lived in the 1970s.

Before I decided to go to Kaliningrad in October 2017, I did a lot of research about the places I wanted to see and where I could stay. Finding the tourist spots and the unusual places I like to visit was straightforward and simple. But, finding where to stay in Kaliningrad was more complicated than I was expecting. Maybe, it's because this small piece of Russia between Lithuania and Poland is not known as a tourist destination. Perhaps it's something else.

Yeltsin Bar is one of these places and, there, you will find the most extensive selection of Russian craft beers in Kaliningrad. There are more than 15 different ones from the tap, and there are, at least, two fridges filled with more beers. Most of them are from Kaliningrad, but there are a lot of them from Russia, Lithuania and the area around.
