On the Grid : Softeisbude / Bloc Books
"This location offers double the fun. Its cozy interior with a hand-painted exotic animal mural houses an ice cream shop in the summer months and a bookstore during this years winter period. Softeisbude serves special East German soft serve ice cream, known in the region as a popular treat in the former German Democratic Republic, and is a favorite hot spot for families with small children. Its this years winter incarnation, Block Books, is a delight for lovers of comic books and print art featuring a wide range of comics, zines, illustrated books, prints, and postcards. Readings and other special events offer an opportunity to get to know the authors and illustrators in person." - Tali Bayer
