Everyday is Oktoberfest at Zum Schneider. This Bavarian bierhaus and German restaurant boasts a festive atmosphere with an impressive selection of beer. Their outdoor seating can get crowded very quickly depending on the day (they hold a lot of events) so try and get there early.
Pouring beer is more than getting the liquid from one vessel to another: it's an art form, as well as a science that has its own methodologies, constants, and variables.

"The beauty of singing during the holidays is everyone is either too drunk or too happy to care if you’re tone deaf. At Zum Schneider, they’re likely to be both."
What’s a girl like Cyndi Lauper do to have fun? On Sunday, it was take in the atmosphere at the final night of Munich on the East River - then close it out.
Lauper took to what must’ve been the smallest stage she’s performed on in decades about half an hour before Manhattan’s biggest Oktoberfest party ended for “Girls Just Want to Have Fun,” backed by the biergarten’s oompah band.

On Nov. 9th 1989 I worked in a sound recording studio in the West Berlin district called "Wedding", when members of the band stormed the mixing room and kidnapped me and the lead singer to go to the border checkpoint "Bornholmer Strasse" only 10 min. away, where we witnessed history and headed over the Boesebruecke against tens of thousends of citizens into their completely deserted East Berlin.
Easily one of the 5 most impressive and unforgettable moments in my life. It still moves me deeply thinking about it.

Am Übergang Bornholmer Straße konnten die ersten DDR-Bürger nach West-Berlin ausreisen. Der Leiter der Passkontrolleinheiten ließ ihre Pässe allerdings ungültig stempeln und bürgerte damit die ahnungslosen Inhaber aus. Doch dem Ansturm der Massen konnte er so nicht begegnen. Zwei Stunden später hieß es: „Wir fluten jetzt.“ Der Schlagbaum wurde geöffnet. Ca. 20.000 Menschen konnten in der folgenden Stunde ohne Kontrolle die Bösebrücke passieren. Infolge der friedlichen Revolution in der DDR und der politischen Veränderungen in den Staaten Ost-Europas war in dieser Nacht die Berliner Mauer gefallen.

"... Der Schneider an der entlegenen Avenue C, vier lange Blocks von der nächsten U-Bahn entfernt, war der Pionier des Trends zu deutscher Biergemütlichkeit und deftiger Kost. Schon 2000 öffnete Sylvester Schneider in einem Eckhaus in der damals fragwürdigen Gegend sein Lokal, schenkte Münchner Hofbräu aus, backte Leberkäs und Brezen und knetete Semmelknödel. „Noch bevor ich alle Fenster drin hatte, war der Laden gerammelt voll“, erinnert sich Schneider.
