Great place for breakfast – never “brunch,” kay? – in the Village. So good in fact that people happily queue to get in on a Sunday morning. But the retro diner decor, buzzing atmosphere and not-too-phony great service make it worthwhile. Oh, and the food: all manner of egg dishes, bacon, coffee from the bottomless jug … let’s do breakfast, man.
Hours: Sun-Thurs 8:30am-10:30pm; Fri-Sat 8:30am-11pm
Hidden away on Clinton Street, which at first doesn't seem the greatest location. This is THE place for blueberry pancakes in NYC. They are light fluffy and come with delicious maple butter syrup. The other delicacy here is their buttermilk biscuits. American biscuits are more like scones and these were lovely with scrambled eggs or jam. It's the perfect place for brunch on a Saturday or Sunday but get there before 10am as it fills up really quickly.
