"After spending enough time staring at statues on Museum Island to work up a big appetite, settle in for a meal at Jolly, a Chinese restaurant that’s way better than all the mediocre tourist traps nearby. The Peking duck, available as a whole bird or smaller appetizer, is a highlight, and you can never go wrong with some dumplings from their dim sim menu. There’s plenty of seating inside, but make a reservation if you want a table on a weekend evening. " - cindy brzostowski, olivia ladanyi
