Hallo. I am currently living in P'berg but decided this place wasn't for me (not to mention where I was staying was expensive), and from next week and onwards I will be living in Wilmersdorf, 3 U-bahn stops away from Ku'Damm. I sort of took up an offer without really researching/knowing about this area of Berlin, so I was just wondering if any of you live in Wilmersdorf, or have anything to say about this district of Berlin? I will be sharing a house with a German couple for at least 3 months here. Is there anything good around Wimersdorf in terms of food, entertainment, and what not?
Thanks in advance
p.s. I'm pretty sure there is a no life-in-wilmersdorf thread yet..

Life in Wilmersdorf
Info and opinions on this district of Berlin
Welcome to Wilmersdorf!
I only moved here 3 months ago from Munich, and I must say I like it. It's not the best area for going out, but there are several restaurants and bars in bundesplatz which are not bad (Alcatraz, Coma...). There's quite a few restaurants, bars and cafes in Guentzelstr and Hohenzolerdamm. I think the trick of it is to wander around and check what's available in your neighbourhood.
Another good thing here is the great u-bahn connection to other parts of town...
PM me if you want more details.

Lived in Wilmersdorf at Fehrbelliner Platz/Brandenburgische Straße (some kind of the "poor" area of Wilmerdorf ) two years ago. One of the dullest, but also one of the cleanest areas in Berlin (seen nearly no dogshit there over the 3 years I lived there). Good connections, quiet and green, buildings from ugly to beautiful (in terms of the amount of old buildings it's less impressive than prenzlauer berg), good restaurants and a few good bars, some theaters and jazz clubs (badenscher hof), but that's it for the entertainment - nearly no clubs or hip lounges, whatever. shopping is also not spectacular (went to Uhlandstraße for smaller shops and to Charlottenburg/Wilmersdorfer Straße for the bigger ones), but a 24/6 supermarket at Berliner Straße. The area around Ludwigskirchplatz/Pariser Straße is without a doubt the best if it comes to restaurants and bars and some kind of flair, but it is also without a doubt better if you have some money to enjoy this area. Personally never would move there again (maybe when I'm fifty), but for three months it could be like a holiday from Prenzlauer Berg

When I first came here, I was on PAriser Str. and it was brilliant. I really enjoyed it. Now I'm in Charlottenburg, and I like it here too.
But then, I'm not a party animal!

I will be living near U-Bhf. Berliner Str., I think that is a bit south of where the action is (within Wilmersdorf anyway) ?
I was there today and it seems like a total residential neighbourhood, quite different from the Kastanienallee of Prenzlauer Berg I am at for the time being.. but the rent there is half of what i pay here, and I saw virtually no yuppies and hipsters and graffiti and dog shit.

ah, it's wilmersdorf at the border to schöneberg (the border is bamberger straße/kufsteiner straße), nice, because akazienstraße is just a stone's throw away.
Badenscher Hof is at u-bhf berliner straße, so if you like jazz, it's a recommendation.
the volkspark a bit south is also quite nice.
as someone said, güntzelstraße is one of the gastro-streets in southcentral wilmersdorf area.

Decidedly unhip... But I liked it!
