Link to restaurant website (w/ menu, etc.)

Getting there: One of our team members will escort participants down to Noya via bus connection and a short walk (you'll need a Deutschland-Ticket or a bus ticket purchased from the driver). If you are attending via bike, one or two of us will ride down with you. Those traveling by car will probably want to check on Noya's location via the link above and make an informed decision about parking. There is indeed quite a bit of parking in this area, for example, Q-Park Fritz-Dobisch and Parkhaus Alte Post.
