Zum Schneider Turns 11
Despite the rain yesterday, the gang at Zum Schneider celebrated their 11th birthday in grand style. I passed by around 7pm & everyone was rocking Bavarian attire & tending to the suckling pig that was spinning quite happily outside. I returned after 10pm from the Wok+Wine event & said pig was still roasting. Inside, the […]
Zum Schneider Revisited
I poke fun at Zum Schneider (107 Avenue C @ 7th Street) quite a bit due to the noise it generates, massive lines, Oktoberfest Madness & the ‘popped collar’ brunch crowd, but I will admit that I love that place. I live just around the corner on 7th Street & with the weather warming up, […]
Zum Schneider continues to menace the ‘hood
I recently passed by Zum Schneider (107 Avenue C @ 7th Street) & Oktoberfest is in full swing. The place was absolutely heaving & there was a gigantic line outside. You could hear the music/shouting/crying from a block or two away & it seems like everyone was having a hell of a time. The 2nd […]
Zum Schneider
Zum Schneider (107 Avenue C @ 7th Street) is a Bavarian beer garden (although indoors) that seems perfectly suited for spring and summer. The open, cavernous interior with smooth tree-like walls & foliage gives a great biergarten feel, but the outdoor seating is really what I love. Whenever the weather heats up, the place gets […]

Avenue C Braces For Impakt
Avenue C, an area of the East Village packed with quaint, tree-lined streets bars, is getting ready for more of the same. Oktoberfest starts today & Zum Schneider opened at 11am for the celebrations to start. So put on your lederhosen & get ready to hear live music and drink a lot of beer. If […]
Here Comes Irene!
I’ve been mining Twitter & local bloggers to compile a list of East Village establishments that will be closed this weekend. Pretty much every grocery store is reporting massive lines at the registers (Fine Fare on C was a mess last night) so I’m not going to bother with those. International Bar & Coal Yard: Closed. […]
Arcane Turns 2!
Arcane, the French-Caribbean restaurant, is celebrating it’s second birthday today. I just passed by & it looked pretty packed, with party-goers sharing the sidewalk with people drinking at Zum Schneider next door. I did review the brunch there back in May (not very favorably), but I have as yet to have dinner. Anyway; Happy Birthday […]
