NewYork.Com – Connected to Everything
By Jessica Colley

This restaurant and beer hall in Alphabet City has a great vibe for long afternoons of imbibing, but it really comes to life for the annual Oktoberfest celebrations. The owner, Sylvester Schneider, is a native of Bavaria and delivers the spirit of this festival with an exclusively German list of beers, traditional costumes and live music. The hearty menu –full of a variety of sausages and more — ensures longevity for several more hours of shouting prost (cheers)! 107 Avenue C, 212-598-1098, zumschneider.com
