it should work now eventually !!!
Viktualienmarkt is perfect for a "Weisswurstfrühstück" with brezles and Weissbier. The MUST typical Bavarian breakfast.
This should to be taken in the time from 9am - 12.am.
A very cozy, very traditional Beer-restaurant is the "Valentinsstüberl" around a corner away from Viktualienmarkt. Just gu to the Market and ask for this location.
Also a major must-see in Munich is the Frauenkirche (very good for your pictures, as it´s two towers are a recognition-sign for Munich.
Marienplatz with it´s City-Hall and clockwork, as well as the famous deli-market "Dallmayr" (2 min. away from the City-Hall) are both worth a walk.
If sun is shining and it´s not too cold during your stay, you should take a stroll through the "Englischen Garten", a large Park-Area within Munich. And make sure to plan a stop there at the "Seehaus" or at the "Chinesischem Turm", two of the beautiful and Munich-like beergardens. You get your beer here in "Masskrügen", which take 1l, so start it slowly
Enjoy your trip.

Edit: I just thought of this. I think I'm going to be having dinner one night at the Weisses Brauhaus. What is the requirement for how to dress there? Would I be out of place in jeans and a T-shirt? A Polo Shirt with collar? Or do I need to be more dressy?

Thanks for the help. I speak almost no German (though I've been told that the 4 or 10 words I do speak, I speak with no accent). But I surmise that a "'Weisswurstfrühstück' with brezles and Weissbier" is some kind of sausage (steamed? grilled?) with pretzles and beer.

No special dresscode. HOWEVER: Being over the age of 25, I would never wear a worn out jeans, sport shoes and a plain white T-Shirt in a German restaurant. However, a nice jeans and a poloshort will certainly do the trick, no need for shirt an tie there.

But I'm glad that no shirt and tie are required. That way, I can travel lighter.

If you have enjoyed your dinner at the highly recommended "Weisses Brauhaus" and still want to experience more typical Bavarian athmosphere, you might spend the 5 min to walk to the "Hofbräuhaus" the world-famous Munich institution. You will find a lot of tourists here, but it is also crowded by many elderly locals, not shy talking to you about everything and nothing.
These Munich-locals often don´t speak an English word, but after the first beer you always find a way to communicate together
@ Flying Lawyer: I´m surprised that you as a Not-Bavarian are so well informed about Munich specialties. Good Job
