Hallo Belrin cart ... where is it?

I checked yesterday, 54th & 5th. Wasn't there. Did it move or was I looking in the wrong place.

I was in Manhattan last month and made a special trip to Hallo Berlin--well worth it. However there was only one man (from pictures it was Rolf's brother Wolfgang) working the cart. I've heard in a couple different places that once Rolf's laid to rest the cart will be back out. I hope so because it was hands down the best street meal I've ever had.

The cart was there today when I walked by around 2 p.m. I think it was probably his brother manning the cart (enough of a resemblance, though I hardly visited so much to know for sure). Anyway, from what I can tell, it seemed things were back to normal

Good news! I was beginning to fear that my cholesterol count was dropping!

The owner has passed away.

RIP Rolf Babiel

This is very sad news. I actually traveled over 20 blocks to go to the cart yesterday only to find it missing now I know why. I've been visiting the cart since the late 90's. It was, in my opinion, the best street cart in Manhattan.

That should be the correct location - NW corner, in front of The University Club. My last visit was about a month ago, but I'm not aware that they've moved or anything.
