According to these photos on Bah Humbug, the Hallo Berlin Cart to returned to action this week (on 54th and 5th), and just in time for the 20th Anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. Not sure if that was intentional, but either way we’re glad to have it back. Dictator specials for everyone! [...]

I can’t believe it but Rolf Babiel’s brother Wolfgang is out right now working the Hallo Berlin cart (on 54th and 5th). The line down the street was a fine tribute to Rolf (especially on a day when other well known carts seemed a little less crowded because of the weather.) I let Wolfgang know [...]

Some very sad news to report… Rolf Babiel, one of the owners of Hallo Berlin, has passed away. His unique sense of humor was a huge part of what made the Hallo Berlin cart on 54th and 5th so great, and he will be missed. According to a worker at the 9th Ave. Express Location, [...]

Now now boys, don’t stare. It’s impolite… and kind of creepy. Ladies, on the other hand, if these tweets are to be believed it looks like the Hallo Berlin Cart (on the SW corner of 54th & 5th) is the place to be!

After taking the entire month of July off, the Hallo Berlin cart returned to their spot on 54th and 5th Ave. on Monday. I also noticed (and I’m probably totally late to the game on this one) that the photos they use to promote their Democracy & Dictator Specials have changed again…

It’s that time of year again. The Hallo Berlin cart (on 54th & 5th) disappears, and everyone wonders what happened to them. Don’t worry… the Babiel brothers are away on their annual July vacation, and will be back in August.

Hallo Berlin (on 54th & 5th) is the latest cart to get their own episode on VendrTV, and watching Rolf Babiel work the cart while simultaneously answering the host’s questions is a sight to behold. I learned the hard way not to take anything Rolf says seriously, but he ends up being pretty well behaved [...]

Dave Cook from Eating in Translation was in Midtown on Wednesday, first at Hallo Berlin (for the VendrTV meetup) and then AQ Kafe (for a doughnut sandwich called a “berliner”.) And Dave wasn’t the only one at AQ Kafe this week for some pastry. Kathy YL Chan wrote about their budapest log on [...]

Just a reminder, VendrTV’s first street vendor “EatUp” is today at Hallo Berlin Cart (on 54th and 5th). So, if you’re into the idea of sharing a German brat with other like-minded cart-loving people, be there at Noon. If a “Dictator’s Special” sounds appealing, but being around people frightens you, I’d stay away from the [...]
