There are multiplying like a mutha in NYC.
Is this a NYC thang or will it be spreading across the country like the Food Truck?
Ive had fun at two in Queens but its not a regular thang.

When ive been it hasnt been for the food.
The picture you posted looks so damn familiar, it has to be my regular after work beergarden when I used to live in Munich. (Augustinergarten that is.) Beergardens get a big Yay and they are the thing I miss most from my bavarian days when it's summer. They copy it all over germany and obviously in NYC too but you have to be in bavaria to get the real experience.
You can't be in a beer garden and not eat.
When rating a beer garden the quality of the following integral factors are to be considered: Beer, food, trees, service.
I only have self-service and no trees but none of these NYC pseudo beer gardens make me want to leave my balcony.
Is it "Wurschdsalat"? Can't identify it.
One important thing for bavarian beergardens is that most of the space there is self-service. Just a small part is attended by waiters. In the self-service areas you are allowed to bring your own food (you don't have to), only drinks have to be purchased. This means even finacially disadvantaged persons or families can participate. That's why these beergardens are a strong social integration factor in bavarian society.

I've been to plenty of Bavarian beergardens but I believe the all were fully serviced. Or maybe I just sat in the serviced section... anyway. You can't really beat Bavarian beer and food.
That's the real shit. :hard_as_fuck:
Cosine.
I was probably raised in these whilst growing up here in Munich. BIG YAY!
but - in a real Beergarden you can bring yourown food. We even have a law for this. But your own BBQ is not allowed.
Now i??m thursty.
Drink a "Moass" for me please. Wish I was down there for a couple of days. (BTW whaddup?)

The Lot on Tap, new on West 30th Street.
I like the use of urban spaces for this kind of thing. Sort of reminds me of street food in Bangkok (in a good way). Who cares if they're doing it wrong? The first Indian immigrants to set up restaurants in the UK had to drastically alter their menus/recipies and were 'doing it wrong', but that's how culture develops.
+1 Yay for beer & beer/gardens.
