German Restaurants Around Town

 Beer Gardens are on the rise! We are just waiting for the right weather...

NY Magazine tells us about some German Hotspots:

Hallo Berlin

626 Tenth Ave., near 45th St.
212-977-1944

This branch of New York’s self-proclaimed “wurst restaurant” celebrates summer by unfurling the beer-company umbrellas in the backyard, where locals wash down wienerwurst, knockwurst, and other unseasonably hearty but tasty German fare with a respectable selection of German brews.

Loreley

7 Rivington St., between Bowery and Christie St.
212-253-7077

Michael Momm (a.k.a. D.J. Foosh) was born in New York but grew up in Cologne, and he’s modeled his biergarten after that city’s brewpubs. A dozen German beers are on tap, and the kitchen turns out a menu built by Momm’s own mom, who aims to reveal German food’s little-known lighter side—liverwurst on organic seven-grain with sprouts and even a Loreley Mixed Salad.

Zum Schneider

107 Ave. C, at 7th St.
212-598-1098

Indoors and out, with fake tree branches hugging the ceiling and umbrella’d sidewalk tables, this lively Alphabet City saloon captures the biergarten spirit with blonde-fraulein waitresses, hard and soft pretzels, and thirst-quenching hefeweizen on tap.

Guastavino’s
409 East 59th Street
(212-980-2455)

If you spy a lederhosen-clad accordionist loitering at the foot of the Queensboro Bridge some Wednesday evening, he’s not a lost tourist—he’s the entertainment at Guastavino’s new biergarten. Nostalgic for his college days, or in pursuit of customers who are, chef Daniel Orr has installed a keg on the manicured terrace, where he’s also serving a wiener schnitzel sandwich with German potato salad.
