Andrea Hong: You do not want to miss this most historic place located in German Village - The original Max & Erma's!!! Opened in 1958 as a neighborhood restaurant, it was transformed into the chain in 1972.
Andrea Hong: While visiting German Village, be sure to come and immerse yourself in the Book Loft's 32 rooms of bargin books. It's definitely one of my favorite places!
