3 Best Day Trips from Berlin to Hamburg, Leipzig, and Potsdam | Condé Nast Traveler

"With smiling faces, grapes, and other intricate details carved into the enormous stone building that was once the town hall, Ratskeller Leipzig drums up your expectations even before you walk through the door. The drama continues inside to a moody cellar with vaulted ceilings and stone columns. Once you've digested the architecture, you can get down to business; this, after all, one of the best places in place in town to try traditional German food (like sausage, beefsteak, and pork knuckles) along with house-brewed beer." - Liz Humphreys
