This is an East Village Institution. Superb Food. Great Drink. Great Service. Plenty of Room, but with a small restaurant feel. In my opinion, the BEST brunch in the city (and I've converted a few people), at a price that is practically stealing. The food will actually surprise you and satiate your inner child, and just make you happy you've found a place like this.
Go, Go, Go for the Brunch. Pick anything.
The Pumpkin pancakes with yogurt-cinnamon sauce. The free-range scrambled eggs with the best garlic potatoes and whole-grain toast. Quinoa pancakes with apple-chicken sausage, beetroot and feta cheese. Eggs benedict poached into creaminess and drizzled with hollandaise. Great coffee refilled and fresh-squeezed orange juice and tea in a teapot (very important). It's literally ALL good!
Apparently, it's middle eastern, but as far as I'm concerned, it's just great. If you want to make a bet about where I am at any one time, this would be a good bet. Their lamb panini is so simple with feta and mint, but fantastic. Their salads are drizzled just so. The desserts are always fantastic. Would I steer you wrong???
If you're looking for a late night meal around 2-4am, go here. They are open 24 hours on the weekends and open until 2am during the week.. They are located on the main strip of the East Village – St. Mark's Place (between East 7th and East 9th Street) and just off 2nd Avenue.
