St. Lucia was Italian, but for various odd historical reasons, she is heavily idolized in Germany and Scandinavia, where they celebrate Santa Lucia Day every December.Brooks of Sheffieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18297071358029060908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21554899.post-29505075835899429332009-04-11T17:40:00.000-07:002009-04-11T17:40:00.000-07:00Santa Lucia doesn't sound too German.PeterSanta Lucia doesn't sound too German.<BR/><BR/>PeterAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21554899.post-219575770382811742009-04-11T15:39:00.000-07:002009-04-11T15:39:00.000-07:00I haven't been there, but I have been to Zum Schne...I haven't been there, but I have been to Zum Schneider (which Katia mentions) and Schnitzel Haus in Bay Ridge. I know my parents LOVED going to both places. Schnitzel Haus is actually really good, especially when the chef (from around Koln) is there. I don't know about a place super-kitschy, but I'm don't mind things like that as long as the food is good and the service is friendly.BestViewInBrooklynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00020026181975097401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21554899.post-83109209383349238272009-04-11T11:50:00.000-07:002009-04-11T11:50:00.000-07:00Heidelberg may not represent modern Germany, but i...Heidelberg may not represent modern Germany, but it is representative of a two century old German-American experience that is now fading away. The place reminds me of many German-American (and German-Canadian) restaurants that my grandparents would take us to in Michigan and Ontario (and, I must say, rather similar to places that could still be found in small towns in Germany when I lived there in the early '90s). Besides Heidelberg, there are still a few German-American restaurants of this type in Queens, like the fine Zum Stammtisch on Myrtle in Glendale.mingusalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05243344762935777939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21554899.post-72933738109026012392009-04-10T10:49:00.000-07:002009-04-10T10:49:00.000-07:00Well, the Heidelberg is truly a time capsule.
