Shut down by corona, Berlin restaurant opens for homeless Berlin's biggest restaurant, forced to close due to the pandemic, has opened its doors to homeless peopleBERLIN -- The coronavirus pandemic hasn’t made life on the streets of Berlin any easier for Kaspars Breidaks. As well as helping out the homeless during tough times the city-funded project also gives needed work to employees — and provides the restaurant with welcome income. It’s only a small number compared with the 3,000 restaurant guests, primarily tourists, who would pack the establishment during good times. But the spacious halls have proved perfectly suited to bring in the homeless and give them each plenty of space to avoid infections. For its new clientele, the restaurant opened a second-floor, wooden-decorated hall, and put up 40 long tables.
