The conference dinner will take place at Habel Weinkultur in Mitte, not far from the “Brandenburger Tor” ([http://www.berlin.de/stadtplan/map.asp?ADR_ZIP=10117&ADR_STREET=Luisenstr.&ADR_HOUSE=19&show=108 plan]). I reserve the table at 20:00 (25. September 2007).

I order the “Berlin Menu No. 1”:

If somebody don’t like pork, please inform me 10 days before! I will order the meals at the 17th September.

So you can eat the “Berlin Menu No. 2”

or a “Vegetarian” Menu.

There is time for a “small” sight seeing tour before or/and after the dinner.
