What's open when nothing's open
Denn's for organic, and Rewe and Edeka elsewhere. Rossman and DM too.

Like with any holiday (or Sunday), shops are going to be closed on Friday to celebrate a Jesus day of some sort — Karfreitag (Good Friday) — and Monday for, I presume, Karmontag (Good Monday). Most of them, that is. This sparks the semi-annual holiday ritual of panic shopping among locals (which seems odd considering their knack for planning and the fact that Saturday is normal hours). It also leads to pure panic among foreigners who have not yet developed the sixth Teutonic sense of when shops are open and closed. But we've got you covered with a directory of places that will still be open with more on offer than your neighbourhood Späti, both Friday and Monday (and Karsonntag).

Spandau
Bro, either you come into the city or you see if they’ve got what you need at the Rewe-to-go at the Aral gas station at Falkenseer Damm 16 (24/7/365). Quit whining that we don’t cover enough Spandau. You’re the one who decided to move there (though tbh Die Ärzte and Florida Eis are from there so it’s not all bad).

What's open when nothing's open
Wolt is closed but Lieferando is open, and tells you what restaurants are open (mostly Vietnamese & Pizza)
What about Spandau? I noticed that you completely ignore the district in the newsletter. Berlin is more than PBerg, Friedrichshain and Mitte.
