Since the weather has turned BEAUTIFUL and inviting us all to head out for a spring stroll, I thought I'd post today about three streets that have a lot to offer by way of food and casual shopping. There are SO MANY more than this, so please share your thoughts in the comments! I've included maps to help you find them...
1. Oederweg
Take the ubahn to Eschersheimer Tor and walk north along Oederweg and there are all sorts of great places...I have eaten at Vipho (Vietnamese), Kowloon City (Chinese/Dim Sum), Gokio Bros. (Korean Fried Chicken) and all three are excellent, but there are many other restaurants there (Tex-Mex, Burgers/Steaks, Indian Street Food...many looked good). If you just keep walking north on that street, there are cute shops and stuff too. We walked north and eventually walked West on side streets to get back to the Gruenebergweg Ubahn stop to head home, but you could keep walking north if you have time as it looks like there's lots of cute stuff.
2. Weissadlergasse
This cute (short) street is adjacent to my favorite sushi place in the city, SuperKato. There are several adorable cafes and restaurants on this street. I haven't been to any of those but I think there's one that sells a bunch of soups that looked really interesting called Souper! Die Suppenküche. There's also a Tex-Mex Cantina. To get here, you could go to several different ubahn stations and walk...it looks like the closest might be Willy-Brandt or Hauptwache (which isn't shown on this map screenshot but is just North, adjacent to the Goetheplatz). I like this area because there's lots of shopping (not just on Neuekraeme, which is that street that leads to the Roemer). One of my favorite places in all of Frankfurt is nearby...the Kleinmarkthalle. My Frankfurt universe rotates around Kleinmarkthalle. 🙂 Definitely worth a visit...it's a market but there are places to eat inside and even more upstairs, as well as a wine bar that's so much fun.
3. Kaisserstrasse
The area of this street that runs between Willy-Brandt Platz and the Hauptbahnhof has a lot of good restaurants and is fun to walk. They also hold a lot of markets on this street (closer to the Hauptbahnhof end) when the weather is warmer. On this street I have been to Urban Kitchen (reliable cuisine from all over the world), EatDoori (Indian Street Food), and Kabuki (Japanese Tepanyaki--very expensive, special occasion type of place but AMAZING FOOD AND EXPERIENCE). There are a lot of other places to eat on this street, and for shopping walk along Kaiserstrasse towards Willy-Brandt Platz (Northeast) and just continue walking until it turns into Rossmarktstrasse. You'll end up in the Hauptwache/Zeil area. Or you could follow Goetheplatz North to get to the "Rodeo Drive" of Frankfurt, Goethestrasse.
Happy Grazing, and enjoy the weather!!
