Beer me up buttercup. You can sip on authentic German beers including Hofbrau, Weihenstephan and Radeberger. You can also order mini kegs or purchase 1 liter or half liter steins. Cocktails and wine are also available for purchase. We sipped on lots of rosé while our guests sipped beer.
Watermark Oktoberfest NYC: What to Order for Lunch/Dinner?
I’m knot kidding. A full Oktoberfest menu is available a la carte or family style for the table. We started with jumbo pretzels that were served with Austrian pimento cheese dip, horseradish mustard and Radeberger cheese sauce. This pretzel was soft and salty and a bite of German heaven. The dipping sauces were fantastic. It’s pretty big, so expect leftovers.
You are the wurst. Our guests tried the Wurst Sampler, which was served with a warm potato salad.
Mac me so happy. The Gaffel’s Beer Mac and Cheese was rich, creamy and delicious. It has Weisslacker, fontina, gouda and garlic breadcrumbs.
Cry me a river. Beer Battered Onion Rings- can we say more. These onion rings were fried to perfection. Don’t even think about your diet today, save it for Monday.
Oktoberfest is all about making pour decisions. Head over to Watermark Oktoberfest NYC and celebrate this German festival in style. The beer, food, decor, staff and ambiance are all fantastic.

My husband loves Oktoberfest for the beer, but I love it for the food. Just LOOK at all of those goodies!
This looks like my kind of festival! That food looks amazing and it sounds like a fun time.
I love Oktoberfest celebrations! I will eventually make it to the bis Oktoberfest in Germany but until that time, smaller ones like this one in New York will suffice.
Wow! It’s that time of the year, Oktoberfest is such an amazing event. It’s definitely a blast for everyone! Food and drinks are absolutely overwhelming here plus it’s all delicious. Loved it!
Attending Okotoberfest is one my lifestime bucketlist. Looks like you ladies had fiun.
It’s a great event to have some authentic German beers and oh my I love pretzels!
Time flies quickly. I almost cannot believe that we are just a few days into October. Food and events are amazing at this time, especially October fest.
I think this sounds great. I’m sure my husband would love Oktoberfest with all the beer and yummy food they have.
This is amazing and they have so yummy food. The duration is long and enough for people to attend this. Thank you for sharing!
How fun! We had our Oktoberfest this weekend. Can’t wait!
This is the kind of place I like to visit. There was something similar in Michigan, a little town called Frankenmuth. We’d go several times a year. It was like it was Oktoberfest year round. 🙂
Wow….you guys go all out for the Oktoberfest, I see! I would definitely be there for the food.
Wow, now that’s a party!! Thanks for sharing us the pictures of the glorious food as well. It made me oh so hungry!
What a fun event! That pretzel inflatable is too cute!
I always like to go to the Oktoberfest for the beers. I’m sure this is a good one too.
I love this! It looks like you and your sister have the absolute best time together. My husband and I used to live in Germany so this brought back lots of memories of when we went to Oktoberfest. Love these NYC options. 🤗
Jumbo Pretzels! Oh yes please! I would love to find an Oktoberfest near me, looks like so much fun.
