I went to Bremen on the way to visit a friend in northern Germany. I would absolutely recommend it. We only spent a few days but we wanted to go back. I found it to be a very beautiful city.
The American mind cannot comprehend. Oldest city I've ever been to is New Orleans. Places like the French Quarter and Marigny are about as old as it gets and you guys have streets 1,000 years older than that. Hell, I'm outside of Pensacola, FL, first European settlement, and we got nothing like this. (No, I'm not counting Native American (North) settlements as they didn't build any structures that could last 1,000 years.) Could I interest you in some wrought iron railings that we copied from New Orleans?
Finished Gaiman's Neverwhere this morning, set in London. There is so much history packed between the lines it's boggling to this American.

Oh, now that is nice. I have absolutely no idea what "Grape & Salt" sells, but I really want to find out.
It's a Wine Bar
They already had me with the name, but that cinches it.
Upon looking up their website I am now imagining a trip to Bremen
I will simply have to go to the fancy wine bar until it all starts looking nice then
