New York Beer Garden (Hobby? Barfuß! 2)

Fand das in der New York Times in einer Revue ueber einen neuen Biergarten in Manhattans Lower East Side:
".....During off hours, almost as much German as English is spoken. Among conversations in German one sunny evening, a tall, barefoot fellow wearing a Jennifer Aniston shag and a dog collar discussed the future of heavy metal with a gray-haired hippie in tiny shorts and clunky sandals; at another table, a red-haired young mother from Berlin jiggled a stroller and sipped German white wine. But later on, the picnic tables outside are usually colonized by cheerful young New Yorkers.
Loreley calls itself a biergarten, but the "garten" part is a bit of a fraud: the only green is on the umbrellas advertising German beers. But Bowery traffic is far away, the wursts are hot, the beer is cold and the waitresses are engaging enough for a real biergarten. Just don't call any of these hip young women "fräulein." (The term is now considered patronizing — the word for waitress is kellnerin). And don't expect them to carry 10 foam-topped steins in each hand. They use trays."
