- 1). Visit Heidelberg Restaurant on Second Avenue. This is a superior restaurant to get everything you could possibly want out of German dining, all at once--fantastic beer, an Old World German nostalgic feel and hearty food. The traditional German dish of Rippchen is particularly divine (smoked pork chops with sauerkraut).
- 2). Dine at Hallo Berlin on Tenth Avenue. The decor is sparse and rather simplistic, however, what it lacks for in ambiance it more than makes up for with fine tasting food. You can't go to Hallo Berlin and leave without tasting the phenomenal sausage platters (be sure to get that with fries).
- 3). Stop by Zum Schneider on Avenue C in the East Village. This moderately priced bar/restaurant serves up some of the most amazing, authentic German beer in the entire city. Be sure to try out the pretzels, sausages and apple fritters. This is a more casual place with a great, laid-back European atmosphere.
- 4). Eat at Ledehosen on Grove Street in the West Village. This German restaurant has a jolly atmosphere and a pleasant staff. The food is so good that if someone didn't particularly like German cuisine before, they will after they try Ledehosen. The prices are great and the German traditional desserts are absolutely marvelous. What could possibly be better than dessert and low prices? Also, be sure to try the bratwurst and buns.
- 5). Check out Blaue Gans on Duane Street. This is the perfect charming, elegant place to dine on your favorite German delights. The vinegar potato salad is to die for, and so are the wiener schnitzels. Be sure to save room for the excellent desserts, namely the apple strudel. This is a wonderful place to have a traditional German dinner in an elegant atmosphere.
