A Young Man's Defeat - Schnitzel & Things






In a collection of German events, I experienced some of the best short-order schnitzel in NYC. My eyes were instantly drawn towards the small establishment, Schnitzel & Things. Like the Allies of World War I, I formed an allegiance amongst my emotions to contest the lure of the Central Powers, headed by this German juggernaut. The smell was irresistible and the uncertainty of what could be behind those doors enclosing this glorious smell was overpowering. I decided to fight for the hunger of my stomach and fundamentally declared war on this place.

In the first battle for stomach-gratification, I attacked the menu like a brave solider on the front line. Inquisitive examination and multiple inquiries regarding the various choices and combinations led to the finalized decision. Within minutes, Germany’s most notable structure, the Berlin Wall was constructed on my Styrofoam platter.A golden brown, generously portioned thin cutlet of pork schnitzel, accompanied with 3 sides –the house potato salad (potatoes, beets, eggs, mayo), polenta (cornmeal with caramelized onions) and spatzle (German-style egg noodles with butter and onions).

With the war of decision-making concluded, World War II was then underway. Like the Allies of this worldly battle, I vigorously formed an allegiance with a side of Spicy SrirachaMayo to assist in taking down this superpower. All three sides were loaded with flavor and complemented the taste of the schnitzel greatly. The bondbetween the spicy mayo and me was ambitious, leaving the opposition blindsided. What was once dividing me from this platter of goodness was now just a mere afterthought, leading to the fall of this “Berlin Wall.” I woofed through the plate and tossed the container with no regard. World War III is imminent.

Schnitzel & Things is located at 723 3rd Ave (between 45th and 46th). They also have their well-known truck which tours the city and lands in a various spot each day, making the obtaining of schnitzel even quicker and easier.
