Everything You Need to Do to Celebrate Oktoberfest in NYC

Thrillist - Everything You Need to Do to Celebrate Oktoberfest in NYC

So you probably don’t have the funds to fly to Munich, but that’s OK! There are still plenty of ways to commemorate the annual German beer bonanza known as Oktoberfest right here in New York (with many events running for a full six weeks… so, prepare your liver). Strap on your lederhosen, prepare for brats, and start drinking. Oktoberfest actually begins in September, in case you didn’t know.

SATURDAY – SUNDAY
SEP 17-OCT 2
WATERMARK OKTOBERFEST
PIER 15
Head to Pier 15 for food, games, beer, and views over three weekends (Sept 17th-18th, 24th-25th, and Oct 1st-2nd). This East River bar and restaurant transports you straight to Munich with live music, festive decorations, and a special $8 menu for all food and drinks (with the exception of 1-liter steins, which cost $16).
