Oktoberfest in New York

Early this week we featured the best of New-York deli cuisine in Berlin. Now we present the flip-side: best of German culinary tradition in New York.

Located in Gotham's West Village and Lower East Side, Landbrot is a bakery and bar "celebrating the rich culinary traditions and hearty spirit" of Germany. Serving an array of homemade baked-goods as well as German fare and micro-brews, Landbrot offers a taste of Germany from morning until the-wee-hours-of-the night.

Conceived by Courtney Fikri of Cenk Fikri Inc. for her client, German businessman Volker Herrmann, the design—a seamless blend of New York, industrial-loft style and the cozy, wooded, comfort of a traditional German cafes—was executed with the help of David Howell architects.
