Charivari is the little German restaurant that fell to Midtown. If you went to Germany, you probably wouldn't order the Italian food. And that's the secret of eating here. Romanian-born chef John Schuster is a master of the dishes of the European Borscht Belt. If you order blini and caviar, "Budapest-style" foie gras, Wiener schnitzel, filet mignon in cognac-green pepper-cream sauce, choucroute, or anything else from the former Austro-Hungarian empire, odds are you are in for an incredible treat.
