Désirée Nick Publishes Berlin Guide, Says Dancing Keeps Her Young

The entertainer promotes a new Berlin guide highlighting clubs, culture, neighborhoods, parks, restaurants, plus low-cost nights.

Overview

  • Nick, 69, told dpa she sometimes dances six hours at Berghain and joked she could almost prescribe it as gerontopsychiatric therapy.
  • Her book, titled "Nice to meet you, Berlin!", catalogs personal picks from cultural institutions and grand villa districts to parks, lakes, eateries, local quarters, and clubs.
  • She argues Berlin remains unusually affordable for going out, saying a fun evening is still possible for about €20 despite high rents.
  • On "real Berliners," she claims they are seldom found where English dominates and says some spots in Mitte bristle if she orders in German.
  • She contrasted Berlin with London in the interview, quipping that speaking German at a counter there might even prompt a call to the police.
