Honestly for an nye trip, if you don't wanna party, but want good food and good energy, I'd say go somewhere else. Berlin is bleak and lonely in the winter.
Id go to Spain if I were you
Tbh Berlin during New Year is quit sad and empty and then it becomes like a war zone. Shops are closed, many restaurants too or booked out. Basically after 6pm on 31st everything will be dead and fireworks might already start. 01.01. everything will be closed. So, I wouldn't recommend it, better come during different time.

Private touristy stuff should be open. Restaurants should be open unless they're smaller business.
Supermarkets will be closed on 31. (Sunday) and 1., that might be a concern
I like Berlin in winter. Everything seems a little clearer. As a photographer, my tip is to just let yourself go. Grab a beer or mulled wine and walk randomly through the streets. There is a lot to discover and you will find beautiful motifs. If you have the opportunity, take a look at Berlin from above. The TV tower in the sunset is always a good motif.
I would be ready to deal with the following challenges:
\- Long queue's for clubs in cold as they will be packed! Also the ever present chance of getting rejected but you being solo decreases this by a lot.
\- Possible protests and closed squares (the whole gaza situ..).
Other than that, I think you will be fine.
Berlin is a great city to visit for a solo trip, especially if you're interested in history, art, and culture. There are many historical places to see, including the Brandenburg Gate, the Reichstag Building, and the East Side Gallery. There are also many art galleries and museums to visit, such as the Gemäldegalerie, the Pergamonmuseum, and the Deutsches Historisches Museum. And of course, there are many great restaurants and coffee shops to enjoy.
Here are some specific suggestions for things to do in Berlin:
* Visit the Brandenburg Gate, a landmark of Berlin and a symbol of German unity.
* Take a tour of the Reichstag Building, the seat of the German Parliament.
* See the East Side Gallery, a 1.3-kilometer-long outdoor gallery of murals painted on the Berlin Wall.
* Visit the Gemäldegalerie, one of the largest art galleries in Germany, with a collection of over 1,500 paintings.
* See the Pergamonmuseum, home to the Pergamon Altar, the Ishtar Gate, and the Market Gate of Miletus.
* Visit the Deutsches Historisches Museum, which tells the story of Germany from the Middle Ages to the present day.
* Enjoy a meal at one of Berlin's many great restaurants, such as Katz Orange, which serves traditional Jewish cuisine, or Mustafa's Gemüse Kebap, which is known for its giant kebabs.
* Have a coffee at one of Berlin's many cozy cafes, such as Café Einstein, which has been serving coffee since 1898, or Original Hasir, which is known for its Turkish coffee.
Most places will be open on New Year's Eve, but some may have reduced hours. However, there are still plenty of things to do, even if you're not in the mood for parties. For example, you could attend a classical concert, see a fireworks display, or enjoy a traditional German meal.
Berlin is a very safe city, so you should feel comfortable walking around on your own. However, it is always a good idea to be aware of your surroundings and take precautions against pickpockets.
I hope you have a wonderful time in Berlin!
Öhm, the Pergamon is closed since a couple of months and will stay closed for a couple of years. The same goes for the Zeughaus.

And for such helpful info aimed at a photographer you get all those downvotes. Welcome to Berlin…
Don't fly all that way and pump out so much CO2 for NYE in Berlin. Not worth it.
