The Corcoran GroupJuly 19, 2013Tiny German spot in the East Village where we go for cheap eats and beer. All of the sausages here are great, but we love the namesake currywurst the best!
Josh UptonOctober 27, 2014The currywurst is good, but the Kaese Krainer is amazing; I mean seriously, a cheese filled sausage??? Also have some great hot pretzels with a solid beer selection to boot. Chilled out vibe.
Real Cheap EatsNovember 5, 2012Try the currywurst ($7).

Cesar R.August 18, 2014Decent German beer selection. Nice cozy spot to bring a friend or a small group of people. Good booth seating. Get the sausage.
Becky BowmanAugust 1, 2014Schneider Aventinus is amazing, as is the Dunkel lager. And just get a damn pretzel, they're too good not too and perfect with beer.
JauntedMay 25, 2010The currywurst has a slight, nice spiciness, more than you'd find in Germany. Down some with a glass of Schneider Weisse and get there early in the evening if you want a pretzel. They sell out.
Omer ZachAugust 19, 2014Nice German beer selection, cheap currywurst, great (but salty) fries, nice and casual atmosphere.
The Local East VillageAugust 14, 2011Layne Mosler of Taxi Gourmet says, "I like it better than what I tasted in Berlin. Here, it’s a little more cured and the sauce they make is a proprietary sauce." Read more
Order the kale and congratulate yourself for eating a vegetable (albeit one with bacon in it).Then all you have to figure out is Kostritzer or Kolsch?
Ben MackeyJuly 28, 2014If you are in a hurry get the currywurst or bratwurst - they always have one ready to go on the grill
David TrueDecember 3, 2009Not just currywurst (which we better than I expected, with tremendous fries), but great and unexpected draft beer and a very cozy space... and near many music spots so good pre-show place Read more
Suddenly SophiaMarch 17, 2012Get the currywurst, like two of them, get a beer, people watch, eavesdrop on some weird conversation, and kiss your boyfriend. Yeah. Yeah. Cool.
ᴡ PragerJanuary 27, 2011The Currywurst really is that good. And real German Brötchen, the original rolls. Nice selection of German beer as well. Try the Radeberger.
Kim PhamDecember 16, 2012Bratwurst is crazy juicy and wonderfully succulent. Don't forget a side of potato salad!
Anthony JJuly 20, 2012Get the Berliner Weisse. They've got both the raspberry and woodruff syrup. Very hard to come by in America.
German beer. Delicious currywurst. Casual and cheap. What more could you want?
The only place in NYC you can get bratwurst & listen to Shakira. If you are like me this is 100% awesome.
Jacob Van De WeertAugust 16, 2014Great music, great beer, and great food for the price. Not enough space.
Raul FloresFebruary 16, 2013Best currywurst in town! Try the goulash soup too, it's perfect on a winter day!
You need to know only one thing that this spot place is tiny but except that, everything is perfect! lol
I've eaten here 3 times this week and still loving it! Currywurst is awesome paired with Radeberger!- What's unique here? Only place in NYC with 3 types of bratwurst, including local Finger Lakes when they can get it.
James BSeptember 4, 2011Went with my friend who lived in Germany for a few years and gave it a thumbs up. Enough said
Matt HealyOctober 1, 2010This currywurst is the real deal. For the authentic experience, order a .2L Kolsch to wash it down.
Madeleine KoestnerMarch 14, 2012Sit in the new booths! They knocked out the wall and added a bunch more seats.
Currywurst is sweet and tangy with a little spice. Delicious served cut and covered in curry sauce. :)
The kasekrainer is cracktacular! The best wurst on the menu by far!
Cristina F-MJanuary 23, 2010this place is tiny, so you're better off getting your currywurst and fries to go and eating them at int'l bar. however, the great selection of beer here is a reason to stick around.
have fries with a beer. I recommend the Hofbrau. If you don't know the beers, ask the bar-keep for samples.
Karen BowersJune 8, 2009Get the surprisingly sweet & salty currywurst with a 1/4 L so you can try more than one of these great German beers.
Melissa Gira GrantOctober 26, 2009currywurst (no fries) + apple wine + super-intense Austrian lady w/ frosted hair & LV bag demanding potato salad = $7 of entertainment
