- One of the only good German restaurants left in Manhattan. — Steven A. Shaw, New York
- For inexpensive German specialties, it's hard to do better than Hallo Berlin. The half dozen kinds of mildly spiced sausages are excellent, and rouladen, beef fillets sliced thin and rolled around bacon and cucumber, are almost like sausages themselves. – New York Times

About Hallo Berlin
In 1981, Rolf Babiel disembarked in New York City with $500 to his name, quickly transforming the cash sum into Hallo Berlin—the city's first German food cart. Two brick-and-mortar locations now bear the Hallo Berlin moniker, vending traditional German dishes such as marinated herrings and schnitzels. The midtown location—a New York magazine Critics' Pick—surrounds guests between yellow and red walls that resemble the German flag and patriotic lederhosen. According to the New York Times, the restaurant's authentic fare "goes perfectly with the selection of German beers," which includes labels such as München, Kölsch, and Spaten.
