Berlin, Berlin: our newsletter is already something of a love letter to the city, which is why we can never get enough of it. And we’re always delighted to meet people who share their love for urban life. The guide “The Feeling of Berlin,” published in 10.2025, isn’t by us, but it still contains a touch of Cee Cee: our Editorial Manager Robyn Steffen reveals what a perfect day with her best friend looks like. But back to the beginning, and to the authors of The Feeling of Berlin: Daria Suvorova-Konstandin and Cynthia Mensah-Neglokpe introduce a lineup of creatives, entrepreneurs and artists whose ideas and projects help shape life in the city. The book brings together 33 portraits of women*, including club icon and born-and-bred Berliner Britt Kanja, Love Parade co-founder Danielle de Picciotto and Michelin-starred chef Sophia Rudolph. All of them contribute to the city in very different ways and share their favorite spots with readers across the 256-page city guide — including places even we were discovering for the first time.
Daria, known as the founder of Women’s Authors of Achievement (WAA), and Cynthia, the initiator of clicqui, a women*’s community, have created a portrait of modern, interconnected Berlin. Between interviews, day itineraries and more than 250 recommendations for cafés, restaurants, cultural venues and hidden corners, the city guide reveals not only the city itself but an entire way of life. If you’re curious to take a look inside and meet the authors: on 21.11.2025, Daria and Cynthia invite you to the TFOB1 event. Come by and discover Berlin from new perspectives.
