Christmas in NYC

and



281 3rd Avenue
New York, New York
212-477-4750 or 212-473-8718

The Most Christmasy Place in NYC.

In order to achieve a felling of warmth and coziness, the Christmas decorations are carefully designed by five artists.  The workmanship is all hand done and takes approximately three months of labor.  There are over 200,000 lights strung throughout the entire restaurant.  Many of the ornaments are vintage antiques.  Rolf's creates a Victorian feel turn of the century ambiance.  An atmosphere to bring happy moments to treasure forever. Rolf's brings the best of German food andclassic holiday cocktails like spiced egg-nog, mulled wine or hot apple cider.  

Rolf's is like a Christmas wonderland and makes you feel like a kid again. In addition, there are hundreds of porcelain dolls and wreaths, artifical fir trees and ribbons.

This very popular German style restaurant famously keeps its elaborate Christmas decorations up most of the year creating a festive and magical atmosphere with thousands of lights, ornaments and garlands that cover every square inch making it feel like Christmas 365 days a year though they do take them down around April/May before reinstalling for the next season.  Over 200,000 twinkling lights and icicles adorn the interior of Rolf's.  

What are Rolf's most popular dishes?  The potato salad.  Other popular dishes are the meatloaf which is even larger than the schnitzel and is served with purple cabbage and mashed potatoes.  The Jaegar Schnitzel, a non-breaded entree is served in a mushroom cream sauce with green beans.

Rolf's is the most festive restaurant in New York City!
