Cafes in Berlin are centers of political and cultural discourse, neighborhood hangouts, and ideal places for people-watching, reading, writing, relaxing, discussing, or just sitting around. Come with friends or alone -- and sit as long as you like. Stop by for a tasse (cup) or kännchen (a small can/pot), unless you're really in a hurry. In that case, most cafes in Berlin do now offer coffee zum mitnehmen ("to go"). Here's a selection from Berlin's broad-ranging cafe culture in and around Helmholzplatz.

Unlike New York or Los Angeles, Paris lacks inexpensive walk-in nail salons on every corner. The city has always had its share of expensive nail palaces. But in the last few years, getting your nails done has become an increasingly popular trend, packaged as an American import (even the French manicure is referred to here as "la French"). Note that nail care remains expensive in Paris and usually requires advanced booking. The brave and fat of wallet will opt for a medical pedicure, a health and beauty treatment that requires a state license, involves sharp instruments and will change your life.

There are plenty of good spots in both Boston and Cambridge, so there's absolutely no reason to face gut-wrenchingly disgusting facilities. See our top-rated cans after the jump.
