Royal Bavarian Schnitzel Haus (CLOSED)

Nothing about the strip of restaurants on 79th Street screams Deutschland—unless, of course, you’re talking about this German bierhaus, where chef/owner Alex Richter whips up the same dishes his grandmother taught him how to make in Munich. If the menu has you tongue-tied, ease your way in with a beer. There are 10 Bavarian brews on draft, along with bottled imports and $26 boots of beer cocktails, all of which taste gut paired with Chef Richter’s four different types of schnitzel.
