- Imagine if a Christmas tree exploded in the best way possible and you’ve got Rolf’s — a snug German bar/restaurant and a holiday-time institution near Gramercy Park. The ceiling is appropriately saturated with tchotchkes, ornaments, dolls, tinsel, and Christmas lights
- Thanksgiving through January is Rolf’s busy season. Expect to pack yourselves in like sardines with people from all over the world, take a bunch of festive photos, and sip on a mug of Hofbrau Lager or a glass of red wine
- Food-wise, if you win the lottery and get seated, you’ll find comfort in the classic weiner schnitzel or smoked bratwurst sampler. Take in the old-world charm and make some memories

Come to Rolf’s with patience — getting the bartender’s attention is a feat of its own — and be prepared to get cozy with your neighbors because there is minimal wiggle room. This twinkling legend should be high on your holiday season bucket list
