"Housed in the onetime German neighborhood of Yorkville, Schaller’s Stube Sausage Bar —”planted in the chest of 1937 German meat market Schaller & Weber like a pacemaker.” Schaller’s Stube serves up the store’s sausages on minimalist buns with items like currywurst, a cheddar brat sandwich, a Buffalo chicken brat, and more classic item with mustard and sauerkraut or a straight-up sausage plate with two sausages, kraut, and a soft pretzel. Don’t miss Jeremy’s, a sibling cocktail bar next door, with a classic cocktail menu alongside drinks with Austrian cameos. Here too, there’s a food menu, with items like pigs in a blanket, beer-braised brats, and Alsatian grilled cheese. For a more old-school taste of German food on the block, go to Heidelberg Restaurant." - Melissa McCart
