Bavaria, Germany via East Village: An Oktoberfest Sausage Party
Today marks the fifth day of Oktoberfest and the fourth day of consecutive hangovers for every person in Munich. To celebrate Germany’s most raucous party 4,000 miles west of Bavaria, we went to East Village bierhaus Zum Schneider and sampled some classic Oktoberfest sustenance. Besides the beer, we also ate food.
Watch as we stuff our drunk faces with sliced radi, obatzda cheese spread, Nuremburg wursts, and then attempt to ungracefully zuzeln a weisswurst. For those aren’t familiar with Bavarian slang, “zuzeln” means sucking and is a traditional technique used to get the meat out of the sausage casing. It’s also a traditional technique for making your dinner date feel extremely uncomfortable.

Cute.
Something about this feels so natural…so right…
And it’s no wonder Zum Schneider didn’t make Time Out New York’s list of “kid-friendly” beer gardens…
