Rhine Dining Any certified German will say the best sauerbraten and blaukraut comes from grandma's kitchen. That's true, of course, but if you're ever in the neighborhood, stop by any of these places. Even Grossmutter would approve of the hackbraten. (That's "grandmother" and "meatloaf" to you.)

Andrea's German Cuisine
It's highly likely Andrea Liermann herself will seat you in the cozy dining room and suggest you order Thuringian potato dumplings and savory red cabbage. She makes her own pastry for apple strudel, too. It's well worth a drive—about 20 minutes from Boulder. 216 E. Main St., Lyons, CO, (303) 823-5000.
Roettele A.G.
Wiener schnitzel is the house specialty, and the Alpine murals and luscious garden make you feel far away from the East Village. 126 E Seventh St., New York, NY, (212) 674-4140.
Karl Ratzch's
The most celebrated German restaurant in a celebrated German town. Karl's Wiener Schnitzel à la Holstein comes with a fried egg and anchovy. Go anyway, even if you hate anchovies. 320 E. Mason St., Milwaukee, WI, (414) 276-2720.
Lorraine's Edel Hau
"Quaint" is the operative word in this outside-Seattle tourist burg. But Lorraine's—open only for dinner during the week and lunch on weekends—will seem like a hideaway from Leavenworth's overwhelming oom-pah-pah vibe. 320 Ninth St., Leavenworth, Wash., (509) 548-4412.
Old Heidelberg
Owner Annemarie Buett goes for hearty German food—rouladen, sauerbraten, sausage platters. Want to bet you can't count all the beer steins decorating the place in a single visit? 1810 Fountainview Drive, Houston, TX, (713) 781-3581.
Schroeder's
Old-timers say neither the menu nor the décor ever change in this Financial District hangout, open since 1893. The servers, too, have been around for many moons, and they do things their way. Don't leave without trying the apple strudel. 240 Front St., San Francisco, CA, (415) 421-4778.
