Buttermilk Channel came highly recommended it to us, and we have to say: the recommenders were right. This is simply the best-value brunch we have been lucky to eat in New York. Why the name? Buttermilk Channel is the mile-long tidal strait that runs between Brooklyn and Governor’s Island. When the area was still farmland, dairy farmers would cross it by boat to sell milk in Manhattan markets. Smith Street (where the restaurant is located) was defined by this channel, just a few blocks west. Read the rest of this entry »

You want to see and be seen? In one of the hottest nabes in the city? The Diner is that kind of place. (And we hope you can appreciate the irony of it being called ‘The Diner.’ Please note: It’s not a diner.) Make sure you wear something hip and ripped—the ‘hood is crawling with actual models, male and female. G-Star Raw, baggy pants, and a skull cap for guys; something tight and revealing for gals. Incorporate the color black. Pay special attention to your shoes. Tennis sneakers? You just don’t get it, do you? The outdoor tables here are especially coveted, facing one of the city’s hippest and highest tech-traffic intersections: the corner of West 14^th Street and 9th Avenue. You can probably throw a stone from a table and hit ten social media startups, the city’s first Apple Store, public art, a photo shoot in a park, and a homeless guy and/or transvestite urinating in public. Okay, that’s 14 stones. But still. Read the rest of this entry »

If you did not try them here, you don’t know really the Eggs Rothko ! You have to come in this hip Williamsburg’s spot close to Bedford Avenue to order this dish :  an easy-cooked egg in a slice of Amy’s brioche and topped with Grafton cheddar. Served with broiled tomatoes and a side of meat (the best bacon we had in town !) or seasonal vegetables, it’s just fantastic and so cheap ($9). Maybe one of the best dishes we ordered in New York. Moreover, the rest of the menu is pretty varied ; the food always amazing.

City Bakery’s incredible and extremely rich hot chocolate with marshmallows is so delicious as to be alarming: a masterpiece; one of the best in the city.

Come for the cocoa, and stay for the food and ambience during brunch time. This huge bi-level loft-urban canteen hits every mark: knockout eclectic cold buffet/salad bar, great hot food bar with terrific macaroni & cheese or chicken wings, and last but not least, the dangerous dessert bar : grab yourself a delicious chocolate chip cookie or the caramelized “pain-perdu” while they’re hot…  Read the rest of this entry »
