German Bars & Restaurants in NYC
New York's German food scene is small but active, with long-running venues in Yorkville, Astoria, and Williamsburg. Zum Schneider's permanent East Village restaurant closed in 2020 and the team now announces pop-ups at changing locations.
German-themed evenings also appear throughout the year: Maibock launches, Wurst tastings, Glühwein nights, and Oktoberfest events.
