German burgers coming to Seventh Street

So!

At the former Mohammed Falafel Star space on Seventh Street near Avenue B... the barn/stockade/dungeon-looking thing...



So we've heard that it may be a burger place... or a Mediterranean eatery... And now! A name!



It will be a German burger joint... Of course, we were rooting for a dungeon...Thanks to EV Grieve reader Peter H. for this photo...

    Hi Glamma.... I like the idea of a stockade here for offending bargoers.... it would get full quickly.

    Believe it or not Jason, Hamburg is German already (not American).

    From wiki:

    "The term hamburger originally derives from the German city of Hamburg,[2] Germany's second largest city, from where many emigrated to America. In high German, "Burg" means "castle", or king's abode; earlier also city/town, and is a widespread component of city names. Hamburger can be a descriptive noun in German, referring to someone from Hamburg (compare London -> Londoner) or an adjective describing something from Hamburg. Similarly, frankfurter and wiener, names for other meat-based foods, are also used in German as descriptive nouns for people and as adjectives for things from the cities of Frankfurt and Wien (Vienna), respectively. The term "burger" is associated with many different types of sandwiches similar to a hamburger]"
