What started as a bakery is now a brunch-focused legend—one that draws a perpetual crowd waiting for ample rewards. A little bit country and a little bit food lab, this kitchen has achieved such success that the owners now have outposts in Japan and Dubai. Here in Gotham, the space is comfy and the service, impressive. A light chicken tortilla soup sees a pile of fried tortilla strips over a hearty broth bobbing with carrots, celery and shredded chicken. While savory dishes thread this menu, it's breakfast that steals the show. Imagine a union of sweet and savory in the golden Belgian waffles with warm maple butter and buttermilk-brined fried chicken; or brioche French toast enriched with walnuts.
