"Austrian fare is the attraction at Edi & the Wolf on Avenue C. The cozy, low-key restaurant, which opened in 2010, is named after its executive chefs, Eduard “Edi” Frauneder and Wolfgang “the Wolf” Ban. Tuck into Austrian classics like spaetzle andwiener schnitzel, as well as some more modern dishes like a burger with gruyere, grilled onion, lettuce, and sweet pepper aioli. The warm space features reclaimed barn wood and a thick, 40-foot-long rope salvaged from a church that’s slung from the ceiling." - Alexandra Ilyashov
