For the longest time, I thought that the DM at Hermannplatz was the closest to where I live, and…read morebemoaned the 3.5 km journey. While that's not so bad a distance, riding by bike is always particularly awful when I need to stock up on cat litter (this is the only place I buy it) and taking the bus is uncertain, as the M29 is likely the most inconsistent line ever. Then I discovered DM in Friedrichshain. This one is only 2.5 km away, and served by direct U-Bahn and tram connections. So stoked! I don't know how I have seen the neighboring Kaiser's so clearly but overlooked this location... but no more. It is large and conveniently-located and easily accessible. For those reasons alone, this might be my new go-to location, at least on days and during times when there aren't so many tourists...
