Forget the airfare. Skip the hotel reservations. Zum serves some of the best German food anywhere, perhaps even in Germany. This is as authentic a German eatery as you will find in NY. They serve traditional German dishes with mind-blowing portions that engage the eyes and mouth in a gastronomical enent that will leave you wishing you had a wider belt. The meat dishes are always served melt-in-you-mouth tender. The more American fare has a straight-to-the-point simplicity that is always done expertly. As expected, the beer selection is perfectly in synch with the menu. The staff works the place like a finely tuned machine. One of the best treasures Queens has to offer, serving up tough competition to the better Manhattan eateries.
Pros: inexpensive, atmosphere, food
Cons: no valet parking
