Edi and the Wolf

You walk in and it’s breathtaking. A wonderland of sorts, dripping with
foliage among rustic wooden tables and ceilings dimly lit between the
cracks. An Austrian haven, reminiscent of a cozy cabin I’d like to
retreat to after a treacherous day on the slopes. Well, I don’t ski but
after a long day of dipping in and out of East Village dive bars I was
certainly happy to find this gem.

A tall glass of Weihenstephan
Hefeweizen is in order. The Alsatian Flatbread was sweet and
savory. It was sprinkled with farmer’s cheese, gruyere, parmesan, crème
fraiche, cippolinis, spinach, apples, herbs, speck, and horseradish. A
lot of components in each bite, tasting like a gift from the Alpine
Gods. The Spätzle was rich with wild mushrooms and brussels sprouts.

After a tall beer and two shared plates, I was plenty full. The staff was attentive and personable, with a 5-star atmosphere and food that certainly tastes of Michelin Star Chef quality thanks to Eduard Frauneder and Wolfgang Ban. I know there's much more to explore on the menu so I'll be back for a full dinner soon, or perhaps, a weekend brunch.
