Zwickl (Zwickel) Beer????
Has anyone seen any Zwickl beers anywhere in NYC? My search here only turned up something in Milwaukee.
The only place I know of is Cafe Katja, which I actually haven't tried, but my sense is that it's more a restaurant and less a bar where I could just sit and drink beer (and they don't seem to open until 5, and yes, on a lovely almost springlike day, sometimes I want a drink a bit before that). But, please correct me if I'm wrong and Cafe Katja would be fine just for drinks...

If you are looking for the draught version of that style I think it's going to be tough, and even at that you might have to go for the stylistically similar Kellerbiers. According to Beer Menus some of the local brewers in PA and the NY metro area will release keller versions of their Pils, though none are available at the moment. You can periodically check beermenus.com to see where and when they are available.
Bottled Kellerbiers are easier to find, and you will be able to get German versions of them. Excellent examples to keep an eye for are Mahr's Ungespundet-hefetrub, Hacker-Pschorr's Anno 1417 and Monchshof's Kellerbier.

Thanks for the helpful suggestions, TongoRad. I just wish I had the time (and money) for a quick jaunt back to Vienna to truly get my fix this year!
