Moabit & Hauptbahnhof

Moabit sits on the Spree island just north-west of Mitte, around the Berlin Hauptbahnhof — the Beusselstraße market hall (still wholesale-and-retail, foundational), the Arminius Markthalle (1891, the older covered market), and the residential blocks that hold an underappreciated diaspora and modern-bistro layer. The chapter takes the Hauptbahnhof-side breakfast (the post-train arrival ritual any business traveller knows), the Arminius market hall lunch and the smaller chef-led rooms (Bricole on Wilhelmshavener Straße, the Moabiter Stube grids). The hood the in-and-out gezgin uses without staying overnight.
