The eager customer walking down the shopping streets of Berlin has a tendency to look at neon signs advertising for shops, noticing big writings telling him to come in or screaming “CHEEEEEAAP”.
But sometimes a change of this behaviour can have interesting results. Looking down at houses can lead to surprising discoveries that will empty the pocket easily. Especially in Berlin-Kreuzberg, speciality shops found their hown in basements of older houses and while these shops might not be big, they often offer goods that the shops at eye level don’t sell.
As one example I want to mention the “Senfsalon”, a shop that for instance offers a big variety of selfmade mustards and chutneys.
