When it comes to "classic", "stick-to-your-ribs" Germanica, this 75-plus-year-old Yorkville "time capsule" fields a "heavy", "no-apologies" menu washed down with "boots of beer"; "costumed" staffers and a "kitschy", "oompah-pah" setting are part of the "fun" package.
Talk about old school: UES institution has been around since before your parents were born, son, and has stuck around for good reason. Schnitzel, potato pancakes, lederhosen, wood paneling, and enough hefeweizen to make you smell like the inside of a stein for days. A you'd-think-they'd-be-tourists-but-not crowd heats up worthy bar scene that won't cost you an investment account or three.
