Description

Locals refer to the stretch of Große Bockenheimer Straße between Opernplatz and Börsenstraße as 'Fressgass', meaning 'eat street'. Fressgass' is unique: in no other German town will you find such a density of delicatessens and quality food stores, each selling their own gourmet meats, cheeses, pasta and cakes. Bankers, opera fanatics and tourists flock here to sample the delights on offer, which can either be wrapped up to take home or eaten immediately at one of the bistro tables which line the street. Over the course of time, several cheaper fast-food places have also opened up along Fressgass'. Several festivities take place here every year, including the Frankfurt Wine Festival, the Fressgass' Festival and the Christmas Market.
