Currywurst Comes To The East Village

Forget the cab ride to JFK, the long security lines at the airport and the 8-hour flight across the Atlantic. You no longer need to fly to Germany to enjoy a bite of Currywurst, Berlin’s most popular street food. Thanks to Andre Wechsler, a short cab ride to the East Village and $6 can get you the same level of satisfaction — or something pretty darn close at least.

If you asked our smart friends at Wikipedia: “Was ist Currywurst?“, they would eagerly respond: “Currywurst is a German national dish consisting of hot pork sausage cut into slices and seasoned with curry sauce (regularly consisting of ketchup or tomato paste blended with curry) and generous amounts of curry powder, or a ready-made ketchup-based sauce seasoned with curry and other spices.”

Currywurst is generally served either with bread or with fries. At Wechsler’s, it comes with fries (large or small). Additional menu items include the bratwurst, wild boar, lamb, chicken and turkey sausages. The bratwurst and the wild boar sausages some of the more popular ones. Thirsty? In true and authentic fashion, you will find German beer on tap. What better way to complement your German bite?
