Touring Nuremberg, Brussels or Bern in the weeks before Christmas is a bargain traveler's major-cash-saving method -- hostels are cheap and unlikely to run out of hot water when you have shampoo in your hair, museums are uncrowded. But, you're doing your tourist thing while the frosty winds blow and give the locals that adorably apple-cheeked look -- while your nose runs. Better warm up at one of Europe's seasonal Christmas markets with a mug of gluhwein (hot mulled wine) and a hearty grilled sausage.
The Christmas Village at Dilworth Plaza (west side of City Hall) harnesses this Euro vibe,� with more than 50 vendors selling everything from traditional folk art to jewelry and 1200-count linen sheets and comforters.� Seven food and beverage vendors are also on hand,� offering classic winter treats like warm waffles with whipped cream, mulled wine and apple wine from Chaddsford Winery, weisswurst, knackwurst and bratwurst.
The Village is also offering special "Business Meals" from 11 a.m. - 2 p.m. on weekdays.� The offerings change day to day and week to week, and the $6 meal includes a soda, roll and lebkuchen (German gingerbread cookie).�� Check out the specials, after the jump.
