Hallo Berlin

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hallo Berlin is a famous food institution in the Hell's Kitchen neighborhood of New York City. Run by Rolf Babiel and his brother Wolfgang, the chain consists of two beer garden restaurants and a street cart known for serving authentic German beer and cuisine like frankfurters, sauerkraut, potato pancakes, red cabbage, spätzle, and wursts.[1][2] Hallo Berlin's motto is: "New York's wurst restaurant."[3]

Hallo Berlin's cart is open Monday through Friday from 11:30 AM to 3:30 PM, and is located on 54th Street and 5th Avenue in Manhattan. It is renowned for providing cheap and good food to a diversity of people, from models to finance guys to German tourists.[4] In 2004, New York magazine named it one of four "best power lunches" in the city.[5] It was also awarded the Vendy Award in 2005, ranking first among New York City's street food vendors.[6]
