Tiny 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!

The 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.

Try the currywurst ($7). "A veal and pork bratwurst, cut up and served with fries and a homemade, tomato-based curry sauce, is the perfect snack food while drinking German beers. Read more

Schneider Aventinus is amazing, as is the Dunkel lager. And just get a damn pretzel, they're too good not too and perfect with beer.

Decent German beer selection. Nice cozy spot to bring a friend or a small group of people. Good booth seating. Get the sausage.

Nice German beer selection, cheap currywurst, great (but salty) fries, nice and casual atmosphere.

The 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.

Layne 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

Get the Berliner Weisse. They've got both the raspberry and woodruff syrup. Very hard to come by in America.

If you are in a hurry get the currywurst or bratwurst - they always have one ready to go on the grill

Bratwurst is crazy juicy and wonderfully succulent. Don't forget a side of potato salad!

Best currywurst in town! Try the goulash soup too, it's perfect on a winter day!
David TrueDecember 3, 2009
Not 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

The Currywurst really is that good. And real German Brötchen, the original rolls. Nice selection of German beer as well. Try the Radeberger.

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?

The only place in NYC you can get bratwurst & listen to Shakira. If you are like me this is 100% awesome.

You need to know only one thing that this spot place is tiny but except that, everything is perfect! lol

Get the currywurst, like two of them, get a beer, people watch, eavesdrop on some weird conversation, and kiss your boyfriend. Yeah. Yeah. Cool.
Jacob Van De WeertAugust 16, 2014
Great music, great beer, and great food for the price. Not enough space.

What's unique here? Only place in NYC with 3 types of bratwurst, including local Finger Lakes when they can get it.

Went with my friend who lived in Germany for a few years and gave it a thumbs up. Enough said

Good, cheap wurst + beer. Simple formula for a once-a-week EV spot

I've eaten here 3 times this week and still loving it! Currywurst is awesome paired with Radeberger!

Currywurst is sweet and tangy with a little spice. Delicious served cut and covered in curry sauce. :)
Nishanth ChariAugust 10, 2013
Currywurst, wild boar sausage, kale, and a dark beer to finish it off
Susan SmithMay 13, 2014
Currywurst, currywurst, currywurst...and the sauce is for sale
Matt HealyOctober 1, 2010
This currywurst is the real deal. For the authentic experience, order a .2L Kolsch to wash it down.

The kasekrainer is cracktacular! The best wurst on the menu by far!
Melissa Gira GrantOctober 26, 2009
currywurst (no fries) + apple wine + super-intense Austrian lady w/ frosted hair & LV bag demanding potato salad = $7 of entertainment
Anoop RanganathApril 20, 2011

have fries with a beer. I recommend the Hofbrau. If you don't know the beers, ask the bar-keep for samples.
Madeleine KoestnerMarch 14, 2012
Sit in the new booths! They knocked out the wall and added a bunch more seats.
LesGroperJuly 31, 2012
Don't leave without ordering the Berliner weisse.
Karen BowersJune 8, 2009
Get the surprisingly sweet & salty currywurst with a 1/4 L so you can try more than one of these great German beers.
Cristina F-MJanuary 23, 2010
this 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.

Tiny Beers are the best.

via Eater: "Many of the sausages served here come from local favorite Schaller and Weber of Yorkville, and the proprietor is from Germany..."

The Reissdorf Kolsch beer is so smooth, light and delicious! Try it!
Jason SMarch 19, 2011
Have the currywurst! Don't bother with .3L beer. Go for .5L.
